Знаете ли Вы что Вы едите?
Эта книга-бестселлер рассказывает историю Америки, с которой началось завоевание мира фаст-фудом. От зарождения в 1950-х в Калифорнии до общемирового триумфа бургеров и KFC.
Эрик Шлоссер провел глубокий анализ по выявлению всех нюансов и особенностей данного типа питания.
Книга носит одновременно веселый и устрашающий характер, заставляя читателя думать. Strongly recommended!

You are what you eat. But do you really know what you’re eating?
Britain eats more fast food than any other country in Europe. Rates of obesity and food poisoning spiral upwards, but it seems we just can’t get enough of those tasty burgers and fries.
This myth-shattering book tells the story of America and the world’s infatuation with fast food, from its origins in 1950s southern California to the global triumph of a handful of burger and fried chicken chains. In a meticulously researched and powerfully argued account, Eric Schlosser visits the labs where scientists re-create the smell and taste of everything - from cooked meat to fresh strawberries; talks to the workers at abattoirs with some of the worst safety records in the world; explains exactly where the meat comes from and just why the fries taste so good; and looks at the way the fast food industry is transforming not only our diet but our landscape, economy, workforce and culture.
Both funny and terrifying, Fast Food Nation will make you think, but more than that, it might make you realize you don’t want a quick bite after all.
