Features: This is a book about fast food, the value of fast food, and the world created by fast food. It is both fascinating and concerning. To a certain extent, the story of fast food is also the story of post-war America. Although the fast-food industry was created by a few people, it triggered the homogenization of American society. Fast food has accelerated the destruction of America's natural landscape, widened the gap between the rich and the poor, fueled the prevalence of obesity, and promoted the imperialistic expansion of American culture. A long "bill" could be listed, and Erik Schlosser's first-class investigative journalism, with its ironic, humorous, and satirical language, and his meticulous arguments, tie them all together.
