The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.
Exposing fast food's dark, transformative industry impact.
If you're someone who casually enjoys fast-food meals without much thought, "Fast Food Nation" could change your perspective. Schlosser's investigative prowess takes you from the artificial creation of flavors straight to the grim realities of meatpacking plants. It's not just a book; it's a hard-hitting revelation about the industry shaping our meals and, by extension, our lives. The true cost of convenience and the 'all-American meal' is put under a microscope here, and it's certainly food for thought.
