Would you like fries with that?

I've decided to tackle Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser for my Book Club book. I was never allowed to eat fast food when I was a child because of its obvious lack of nutrition. My family has many self proclaimed chefs and i've always been comfortable around the grill and in the kitchen. I will occationally indulge in some chicken nuggets with my daughter Jazmin, but other than that I tend to stay away from fast food. I am interested to read Fast Food Nation to find out how such a lucrative industry like fast food thrives. I've seen some documentaries about how the fast food industry works and it's incredible how much goes into the operations of a fast food chain.
