Description
Britain eats more fast food than any other country in Europe. It looks good, tastes good, and it's cheap. But the real cost never appears on the menu.
Eric Scholsser's explosive bestseller, by turns funny and terrifying, tells the story of our love affair with fast food. He visits the lab that re-creates the smell of strawberries; examines the safety records of abattoirs; reveals why the fries taste so good and what really lurks between the sesame buns and shows how fast food is transforming not only our diets but our world.

An eye opener!
A must read for everyone. Even though its a decade old, the insight into the capitalistic world of the fast food industry will make everyone ponder the next time they have a burger and french fries about what lies behind these popular takeouts. Great writing, good research that ends with possible courses that can be taken to mitigate the issues detailed in the book.

Great Book .. do not miss ...
