Fast food nation
The document discusses fast food and its impact on health and business. It notes that while fast food is cheap, tasty, and convenient, it can contribute to people becoming overweight due to its high fat and sugar content as well as containing dangerous chemicals. It also discusses how the fast food industry is a huge business in America, with Americans spending over $100 billion per year and one quarter of Americans visiting a fast food restaurant daily. The largest fast food companies have over 60,000 restaurants worldwide. The document also examines criticisms of the fast food industry from the perspective of author Eric Schlosser, including that fast food is factory produced using machines and chemicals to improve taste and smell, and often employs low-skilled, poorly paid workers
