This is a book that will actually change your life. Schlosser offers an excellent dissection of the fast food industry, from the farmers who grow the potatoes in french fries to the high schoolers who man the counters. Although parts of this book will make your stomach turn, Schlosser does not resort to scare tactics to make his point; instead he writes a carefully researched thesis on what's wrong with America's most popular native cuisine. And, it's a great motivator for those New Year's diet resolutions!
