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

Book Review: Great Insight
Summary: 5 Stars

I had to read this book for school, and I'm glad I did. However, the terrible, nasty, and disgusting things that I read in this book will not stop me from eating in a McDonald's, but every time I do I will remember the pain that every worker and animal went through to give this food to me, and how ruthless the companies we take for grated really are. I don't eat at fast food restaurants much, but the fact and things that I have learned have given me more insight into an already dangerous and horrible situation.

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.
