Very, very disturbing.

I feel even better now about my previous decisions NOT to eat fast food because they are now justified.

When I began reading this book, a number of people informed me I would want to become a vegetarian after finishing it because truths presented were so "appalling". I have no inclination in doing so at this point, because I love meat. However, I am even more compelled to avoid eating the crap they serve at such establishments. I wasn't even really all that shocked about Schlosser's descriptions of the processing or overall conditions that exist within the system. I think I was more shocked and horrified about the working conditions in the meatpacking industry because it is a subject fewer people are concerned about because it doesn't directly affect them.

An eye-opening journey through the dining rooms of America's favorite fast food restaurants! I'm sending this to a fellow bookcrosser. Happy reading...but not while eating.

Yeah! Received in my afternoon mail already! I cannot wait to start reading this book- I've had my eye on it for some time now. Thanks again for sending it this way. Is it normal to be nervous before reading this book???
