Milk, I mean Mike Pugliese, now I'm gonna await the Virtual Panix.com Revolutionary Tribunal for Overposting Behavior. Where is that in the internet DSM/IV? ............................................................................ ............................................................................ . "Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal," by Eric Schlosser
According to reviewer Rob Walker, a contributing writer for Money and Slate, the aim of this book "is to force readers to stop and consider the consequences of McDonald's and its ilk having become inescapable features of the American (and, increasingly, global) landscape."
Schlosser, he says, "is a serious and diligent reporter," and his book "isn't an airy deconstruction but an avalanche of facts and observations as he examines the fast-food process from meat to marketing." Walker concludes, "This is a fine piece of muckraking, alarming without being alarmist. At the very least, Schlosser makes it hard to go on eating fast food in blissful ignorance." http://www.nytimes.com/books/01/01/21/reviews/010121.21walkert.html?0119bk
Audio Interview In our conversation, Schlosser explained: "The key to the [industry's] success has been re-creating identical restaurants that serve identical food in many different locations. And in a different era, with a different set of values, that might not have succeeded as well as it has over the last 20 years. And I would argue that that might be one of the downfalls of this industry in the next 20 years." Please let me hear your reactions to Schlosser's arguments if listen to our talk. http://www.nytimes.com/books/01/01/21/specials/schlosser.html?0119bk
