I just would like to start off by say the book Fast Food Nation totally opened my eyes to a different aspect of the fast food industry that I would have never thought about before. Prior to reading this book I had not eaten a hamburger in over a year. My girlfriend took Croker a year ago and read this same book so she had given me an idea about the beef industry. I must say hearing what my girlfriend and told me ad reading this book were two totally different sides of the story. When I was reading Fast Food Nation I was amassed of how detailed the author got in to the facts. In reading this book you can imagine what the workers in the beef factories are going through or how corporations prey on the weak. Schlosser did a lot of research and actually went to the slaughterhouses and I believe that is why this book was so amazing.
Although I had not eaten a hamburger in a while, I was still eating other meat products and I don’t believe that is going to continue. One situation in this book that really stood out to me was when one of the workers said he would shovel dead rats and feces in with the meat. That is horrible how would you want to eat that shit!
Dude, they don't care what goes into those vats because they don't know or care who's dining room tables they end up on.
