After reading Fast Food Nation written by Eric Schlosser I have come to realize how disgusting fast food truly is. I always knew it was unhealthy but I never would have thought how unsanitary it was made.This book has really opened my eyes and given me something to really think about. I believe that the way Schlosser describes details in the book is the what really grabs the reader's attention. This is because he writes in an informational way as opposed to some other books about unhealthy diets that seem to just command you to eat healthy. In fact, I don't think that Schlosser's first intention was to get his readers on a healthier diet. Schlosser just simply wants to open the eyes of his readers about what they eat on a regular basis.
Fast Food Nation has really been an eye opener and because of it I know think twice before going to a fast food restaurant. Mostly I'm afraid of catching some sort of disease from the meat. However, I will admit that sometimes it just calls my attention and I go out for some McDonald's but now I don't eat there as often as I used to. I don't think fast food in moderation is necessarily a bad thing but maybe it is but for now it doesn't seem so bad and maybe one day, after reading this book a few more times, I will give up fast food completely.
I think FFN was an eye opener to everyone.
ReplyDeleteAmazing Lezly, I can't believe you would actually read this book over again. You must really want to stop eating fast food forever and ever huh! Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteThis book was a wake-up call.

ReplyDeleteI don't know how you can still eat fast food after reading the book! Hopefully you succeed in giving it up.
