That's a lengthy list of charges, but Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry ...Show moreTo a degree both engrossing and alarming, the story of fast food is the story of postwar America.

It's easy to say that something changed your life, but Fast Food Nation did for me - I honestly haven't eaten at a fast food restaurant since reading this, with the exception of In n' Out Burgers (both because it's explicitly called out as being better than the rest and also because it's delicious). ...
