Man, this is a serious study, not a pop article series. I read back and forth through it, as it was in places a slog, knew it would be an eye-opener, and it was. Enjoyed the history of how some of the chains got started and the people who started them. Huge reference section in the back, everything is documented. He has had a definite influence on how the fast food industry prepares and presents its wares. My daughter in Holland says, Mom do you notice in pictures taken in the U.S., there are so many fat people, they don't care, do they?
