Chew On This is an amazing book by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson. It's basically Fast Food Nation for kids, if you've heard of that book. If you haven't:
Chew On This is a non-fiction book that discusses many issues along the theme of the fast food industries, especially McDonald's. It tells readers what's in the fast food we eat, what it's like to work at McDonald's, the secrets of fast food advertising that seem to work so well on Americans, and the way fast food has taken over America. This book has to do with food and nutrition so I thought I'd advertise it on my blog. You MUST read Chew On This because it will open your eyes and you'll see just what McDonald's does to you and to others. Even if you don't eat fast food that often, this book is still a must-read because the facts and statistics about McDonald's are so stunning. Plus, the information is actually vital for us all to know, but the fast food restaurants are deceiving us so we just keep eating at them mindlessly. Take this fact, for example: "Americans now spend more on fast food than on movies, books, magazines, newspapers, and recorded music--combined."
I haven't even finished Chew On This; in fact, I'm not even half-way through, but already I see fast food in a new light. I hope you will, too, after reading this book, so grab a copy. Chew On This is 258 pages of well-written chapters and certainly some life-changing information.
