The Fast Food Industry Beneath the Surface

Hi, everyone! I read the book, Chew On This by Eric Schlosser & Charles Wilson. Reading this book makes me really proud to be a vegetarian. It was about the works that go into making your burger and fries... And the not-so-secret little secrets that fast food industries don’t want you to know.
This book was really informative and surprisingly gripping considering that it was a non-fiction book. This kept my interest for the entire book because I wanted to learn more about the fast food industry. I learned that it is powered and run entirely by greedy, cash-hungry people that care more about the profit of their companies than the well-being of their clients and customers.
This book was much like the movies, Food Inc. and Supersize Me in concept.
You may think that you already know all there is to know about fast food, but it is most likely that you don’t even know the half of it… This book was written specifically for you to know all the facts and to clarify and/or put to rest all of the hazey rumors. It was also written to help you know what the fast food you eat does to your body, how the animals and raw food is treated before the industry gets to it, and how it even alters our children’s minds.
Overall, this book was very on point with the information it gave and I strongly suggest you give it a chance… I’m sure you’ll like it!
