About This Item
US: Harper Perennial, 2002. Paperback. Very Good. Fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm betw een rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cu ltural imperialism abroad. That's a lengthy list of charges, but here Eric Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit, and careful reasoning. Schlosser's myth-shattering survey stretches fr om California's subdivisions where the business was born to the industrial corridor along the New Jersey Turnpike where many fast food's flavors are c oncocted. Along the way, he unearths a trove of fascinating, unsettling tru ths -- from the unholy alliance between fast food and Hollywood to the seis mic changes the industry has wrought in food production, popular culture, a nd even real estate. He also uncovers the fast food chains' disturbing effo rts to reel in the youngest, most susceptible consumers even while they hon e their institutionalized exploitation of teenagers and minorities.
