From
the author who brought us Fast Food Nation (soon to be a major motion
picture), Chew On This, by Eric Schlosser, is a must read.
This new book blows the lid off the fast food industry, exposing
all the dirty little secrets and everything you probably don’t
want to know about fast food.
Intended
to relate to a teen audience, Chew On This gives shocking details
about what happens in a slaughterhouse, working conditions in fast
food restaurants, marketing strategies used to reel in consumers
and how overweight teenagers are having surgeries to make their
stomachs smaller.
You
will even learn the secret ingredient that makes your drink pink
(hint: it has many legs) and a special ingredient often found in
meat (see page 198).
Chew
On This tells us what the mainstream media never would and what
our parents and teachers don’t even know.
A great
read! Highly recommended.
