About the book
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELELR
\"A fine piece of muckraking, alarming without being alarmist. . . . Schlosser makes it hard to go on eating fast food in blissful ignorance.” – New York Times
“One of the most important books on the precarious nature of the modern American food system.” – The Observer
In 2001, Fast Food Nation was published to critical acclaim and became an international bestseller. Eric Schlosser’s exposé revealed how the fast food industry has altered the landscape of America, widened the gap between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and transformed food production throughout the world. The book changed the way millions of people think about what they eat and helped to launch today’s food movement.
Fast Food Nation is as relevant today as it was twenty-five years ago. In a new afterword, Schlosser surveys the changes—and lack of change—in the industry, highlighting the persistence of corporate greed, the harms of ultra-processed food, the abuse of poor immigrant workers, and, despite it all, the grounds for hope. Fast Food Nation inspires readers to look beneath the surface of our food system, consider its impact, and, most of all, think for themselves.
“Exhaustively researched, frighteningly convincing . . . channeling the spirits of Upton Sinclair and Rachel Carson.” – San Francisco Chronicle
