"The food we eat has changed more during the past thirty years than
during the previous thirty thousand years." People in America are getting fatter by the minute and
it's not solely for lack of exercise-it's because of the food we
eat. In the book Chew on This by Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson there is an exploration of today's fast food industry and how its changed us. Because of the convenience of cars, people
can now dine on the go. In today's fast-paced, tightly scheduled
culture, time is money and a meal that can be held in one's
hand at the wheel on the way to somewhere or one that can be prepared in
three minutes or less is better and far more satisfying than a meal
that takes up too much time and energy in the day.
This book is an informative young adults book. It teaches about the health hazards that fast food creates. I was actually hoping that the book would change me more. I wanted it to turn me off of fast food entirely. But a lot of the facts didn't surprise me. The book really drawed me in and I wished it was a little longer.
