Same here. I only read it about a year ago and found it interesting but not that surprising and certainly nothing to panic about. When the hype is stripped away there are some things that we should obviously be concerned and exercise pragmatic caution about but hype, populism, uncritical analyses, disaster/conspiracy theories etc. help sell books and get people chattering.casiopea said:I never understood the fuss about fast food nation.

So what? Chemicals are not necessarily bad. Even those that are "bad" are often innocuous in small doses. It's like the knee jerk reactions against stuff like E numbers and MSG when, in fact, many of these are perfectly safe and people are more likely to suffer ill effects from more significant sources (e.g. obesity, lack of exercise, smoking, excessive drinking or other recreational drug use, casual/promiscuous unprotected sex etc.).redbhoy said:Read the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser and you'll think twice about drinking those shakes or eating anythign out of the fast food places!
