Reading Fast Food Nation was really interesting. I learned many things from the food industry. I never really thought about what effects fast food had on my life up until a couple years ago. The couple of things that have stood out when reading this book was; what the cattle were feed, and what is I'm our meat. This was the most horrific, disgusting, nastiest thing I ever found out. I have not eaten a hamburger in over 4 months. What also stood out to me was the dangerous jobs people have to do. Like cutting up the meat and cleaning the assembly line. Also how unsanitary the workers can be, and when companies don’t inform people of there contaminated product. Another thing that I learned from reading this book was how big of an impact fast food chain has on everyone, and the epidemic impact it has on our nations health. I’ve had good eating habits for the past couple of years. Reading this book has just reassured me that I am doing the right thing. I really try hard to not eat any fast food. I love to eat fruits, vegetables, fish, etc. But the smell of those French fries are very tempting, but then I recall everything I read in the fast food nation book ,and it reminds me of all the bad side effects in the long run.
