- Fast food nation.
I got this in conjunction with Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America and both reads really resonated with me. In this enlightening book, the author really tells how fast food became a part of our cultural awareness and goes into some detail about the corporations themselves. All in all, I thought it was facinating and would recommend it to anyone who wants to know more about the culture of fast food.

Rating: - Read it along with Super Size Me
An excellent view on history of the fast food industry and how it is processed and eventually end up on places like McDonald's. When I first read the book I didn't make care so much as many others did. However, as I saw more and more people getting sick every year and not being able to afford their health care bills, I started waking up to this warning.
No matter how much money or resources the government or private corporations put into health care services, drug and therapy research, it wouldn't ... Read More
