“Anti-Republican, anti-McDonald's, and (possibly) anti-ground beef, Schlosser bombards the reader with statistics that would give pause to the most diehard Big Mac lover. Schlosser slams McDonald's and other fast food companies, the meat packing industry, big agribusiness, and American restaurant franchising in this 300-page book that reads like pulp fiction. In fact, several of Schlosser's critics have claimed that his data is flawed, or outright fabrication. Personally, I enjoyed the book, but I noticed a couple of contradictions and overlapping data. I think, however, that Schlosser more than makes his point that government needs to do more to protect workers in fast food restaurants and meat packing plants. The health and well-being of these people has been at odds with their working environments for long enough, and it's clear (or it should be) that no matter what side of the fence you're on, more can be done. Overall, a quick, interesting read. I would recommend that you also read "Omnivore's Dilemma" by Michael Pollan, for another perspective on agribusiness and where the fast food we eat comes from.”
