I've always heard about this book and finally I read it and wow! I am blown away! The author does an incredible job at laying out the glory days where hard work, elbow grease, determination and fairness is what got these first trailblazers off the ground and hamburgers became a staple of the American diet and way. Then the gruesome details which he seems to explain in a mostly non-bias way , one gets the feel he is not trying to sell vegetarianism - more to the point of the unsanitary conditions of the factories and the diseases of the food. He explains what big industry has done to the American farmer and how the unsanitary meats, chemicals and processing has poisoned the world. He explains above all the affect this type of diet has had on the youth- all youth of every country there is fast food. This is an atrocity and a shame that to this day nothing is being done about the greed and filth of these monster companies. Read at your own risk - you may do something passionate and boycott the bastards!

Beautiful copy!
