Children in a Fast Food Nation
Thursday, May 11, 2006
Eric Schlosser's best-selling exposé Fast Food Nation investigated the impact that restaurants like McDonald's and Burger King have on the waistlines and wallets of Americans. Now, he's teamed up with reporter Charles Wilson for Chew on This, a look at how the fast food industry targets children--one out of every five public schools in the US, for example, serves brand name fast food. The book is written for kids, with an emphasis on teaching them what's really in the fries and burgers they eat.
