My opinion about FFN...

I found The Fast Food Nation a very interesting book. It affected me very deeply, I felt the author, Eric Schlosser, did very good research and presented it to the reader very effectively. It was very shocking to me, reading chapter after chapter, what really went on with these fast food industries here. I was really upset, especially reading chapters eight and nine, which showed how these companies treat their employees, and how they really do not care about what happens to their workers, in the slaughterhouses. I was frustrated reading how unskilled workers have been placed in the meat processing departments, and how  E.coli and Salmonella was being found on the meat, really made me sick. . It was really disgusting to read how they fed the animals, what was contained in the meat, and realizing, that the meat will then be eaten by the consumers.

Also we learned how fast food is unhealthy, and eating it frequently will make people obese and cause serious diseases.

I haven’t had much experience with fast food in my country, but after I came here, I have tried fast food, and haven’t any desire to eat it. After reading this book, I immediately changed my interest in fast food, and the consumption of meat also! Humorously, my family and I have learned to graze on grains and vegetables. We have completely changed the way we eat.  This book not only affected me in making a serious change in my eating habits, but also my entire family.  We have eliminated meat from our diet, and have decided to stick with fruits, grains and vegetables.  But we are still all refusing to give up the cheese!
