This paper looks at how "Fast
Food Nation" is a broad, investigative journalism work that describes, examines, criticizes, and attacks the American fast food
industry on several levels. It is also an eye-opener that reveals to the readers the whole
new facet of this industry and makes links that no one could have imagined existed. It shows how the fast food industry is a multi-faceted entity that is affecting lives of millions, usually in a very negative way, and how the most rewarding part of reading the book is the amount of new knowledge and insights it provides.
