Book Reviews of Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food

Book Review: know what crap you're putting in your body
Summary: 5 Stars

This book is excellent at detailing how the fast food companies target people, especially children, through marketing and other avenues, at the expense of people's health.
It also explores the treatment and experiences of workers employed by this industry (which reminded me a lot of the book 'Nickel and Dimed').
Reading about what goes into the food and how the products are processed, has seriously grossed me out from eating any more fast food. If you're trying to break the habit of eating too much fast food or drinking too much soda, definitely read this book!

Summary of Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food

In the New York Times bestseller Chew on This, Eric Schlosser and Charles Wilson unwrap the fast-food industry to bring you a behind-the-scenes look at a business that both feeds and feeds off the young. Find out what really goes on at your favorite restaurants-and what lurks between those sesame seed buns.

Praised for being accessible, honest, humorous, fascinating, and alarming, Chew On This was also repeatedly referred to as a must-read for kids who regularly eat fast food. Having all the facts about fast food helps young people make healthy decisions about what they eat. Chew On This shows them that they can change the world by changing what they eat.

Chew on This also includes action steps, a discussion guide, and a new afterword by the authors.
