Book Review of Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal

Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 3


Plow through the beginning if you find it dry - there are payoffs later in the book. A must read. I suggest actually giving this book as a high-school graduation present - a lot of life lessons can be found in here, and not to mention it might put these young folks off fast food for good.

I have not eaten a fast food hamburger since reading this book in 2003. I have eaten other fast food, but I won't touch the burgers because of the slaughterhouse stories. The chapter on food scent was absolutely incredible.
