Fast Food Nation After thoughts

Before I started reading Fast Food Nation, I expected to read an entire book detailing the process engineers and fast food corporations put the food through. In addition to all that, I also learned fast food corporations are the main cause of so many things in our society such as: farmers injecting growth hormones in cattle, setting prices for buying cattle which has left many farmers bankrupt, certain companies donating hefty amounts of money to republicans which has helped ensure that laws against advertising to children don't get passed, and just how popular McDonald's made chicken. Reading this book won't change my opinion of fast food because I have always known that fast food is bad. This book did however make me realize the importance of local farmers and shopping at farmers markets. With all of the information out there concerning the dangers of fast food, I wonder why it is still popular. Also with the population growing, will fast food continue to hurt our environment and health of our people? I think so. I think we need to be more concerned with our food.
