Description:

New paperback reissue, with a new forward! To a degree both engrossing and alarming, the story of fast food is the story of postwar America. Though created by a handful of mavericks, the fast food business has triggered the homogenization of our society. Fast food has unleashed the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, spawned an epidemic of obesity, and propelled the juggernaut of American cultural imperialism abroad.


That's a lengthy list of charges, but Schlosser makes them stick with an artful mix of first-rate reportage, wry wit and careful reasoning. He also uncovers fast food's enormous efforts to reel in the youngest most susceptible consumers even while it hones its institutionalized exploitation of teenagers and minorities.



This is a groundbreaking work of investigation and cultural history that is changing the way America thinks about the way it eats.
