I picked this one up because it's being read by the seventh graders at my sons' school. It's not bad, in that it may open kids eyes to some of the harms of processed foods and the fast food industry. It leaned a little too anti-corporate for my taste. I'm not sure what the age recommendation is on this, but if I were a parent giving it to a younger child to read, I would want to know that it does have some references to Santa as a fictional character. Maybe most kids (but probably not all) old enough to read this would not be affected by that. ( )

Have I heard this before? I wonder how much material was borrowed from Fast Food Nation? I liked that book a lot more - but that was a different time and perhaps, I saw the material for the first time there.

In any case, if you haven't read Fast Food Nation and eat fast food, you should take a gander at this book. Cheap fast food is not cheap nor really food - it is fast though. The cost will hit you in the waistline or the environment. And food only in the sense that you can eat it but it really more chemicals with flavors that mimic food.

Somewhere from these type of books, I learned that eating can be an experience - not just a mindless act of putting things in your stomach. Try to experience food. It'll do your body and soul good. ( )

The book, "Chew On This." by Eric Schlosser and Charlie Wilson is about all the things that fast food and junk food/drinks do. At the beginning they talk about how most of the popular foods were made or how the restaurants started. In this book you also learn how fast food owners made more people come to their restaurant. In the middle of the book you learn about how schools offer unhealthy fast food and how the Eskimo's are getting baby bottle syndrome. In this book you learn about how young (still growing) kids need to get up early and stay late for restaurants to give them minimum wage. At the end of the book you learn how animals are treated in the slaughter house. To finish off this book they talked about how the fast foods restaurants are going everywhere around the world and how the amount of obese people is growing.

I rated this book 1 and 1/2 stars because I didn't really learn anything new. One thing I did learn though is that the first hamburger was compressed meat balls. I would recommend this book to people that like knowing the origins of fast food restaurants. I would recommend this book to people who don't know what the ingredients of the fast food restaurant's food. I would recommend this to people if they need a short and enjoyable book. I liked this book because it taught me some things I didn't know. I would read another one of their books if I knew one. ( )

Frames the rise and popularity of fast food restaurants within its most problematic aspects: low wages, destruction of family-owned farms, inhumane treatment of animals, foodborne illness, obesity, and widespread marketing to children.
