Fast Food Nation

Hello, and welcome. My name, well I'm not going to tell you, but you all can know me as WCP. This is my fist blog to bear with me. I am joining the blogging world because well... my English teacher is making and well I wanted to share about books I'm reading and share some really good stories. Well as for the name well ny of you Last Airbender fans can get it. Ok on the english aspect of this...
The book I am reading is Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. The book is about the dark under belly of fast food. So far he has talked about who started this fast food as we called it and made it the way we see today. I am well into chapter two right now and it is interesting to say the least he as just started to pull of the nice paint and expose the ugly truth to "our trusted friends".
From what I've read so far, the claim he is trying to make is that fast food isn't all clowns and French fries. One of his key points he makes is that the companies don't play fair and that there is more to them than the toys and play lands. For example McDonalds has an ad campaign for small children and that Disney Hired Nazi S.S. officers to work on Disneyland. Welcome to the underworld of Fast Food. Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate
