Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Pull open the glass door and feel the rush of cool air. Step inside. Look at the backlit color pictures of food above the counter, look at the cardboard ads for the latest Disney movie, get in line, and place your order."
Industry Reviews
"About 70 percent of the information here is new, and the emphasis on children and teenage consumers makes the book even more disturbing than FAST FOOD NATION. It's also a troubling primer on American big business."
