Thought Distillery

After waiting in line for about a month at the library, I finally got my hands on “Fast Food Nation”. I’m about 3 chapters in and so far the history, background, and pop-culture defining elements of the fast food phenomenon has definitely been fascinating. However, the underlying business practices and social repercussions discussed thus far (remember I’m only in chapter 3!) have forced me to put this one down for at least a day. It does not sit very well and is a bit unpleasant to digest if you will forgive the metaphor.

Stay tuned for the final conclusion on this one, but already I’m feeling quite glad to have spent maybe $10 at fast food joints over the past 2 years. I think in My Perfect World, the idea of fast food would imply grabbing and crunching on an apple as one heads out the door.
