One of the joys of a beach holiday like the one I just took is plowing through books and magazines under the sun. One of my reads was something that had been on my must list for ages: Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser, which explores the dark side of the cheap food we eat worldwide and it’s ripple effect through our society. The timing was good for me to pick this up at last, since my January cleanse has left me more food conscious than I’ve ever been and I’ve made some great changes to Ye Ol’ Diet. Schlosser almost overwhelms with an avalanche of disturbing (to say the least) mudraking and it’s impossible to ignore the results of his exhaustive research. Let’s just say Miss Proulx won’t be headin’ in for a Big Mac any time between now and her deathbed.
