Title: Could use some Secret Sauce
Review: Fast Food Nation is a very powerful read, but Schlosser's writing is very dry (could use some gravy or secret sauce). Lots of facts and figures, not enough anecdotes, or first hand interviews. Schlosser mentions lots of different food agencies, goverment agencies, unions representing workers and restaurants, and farmers, and then just gives the acronyms. Pretty soon you can't remember if the IPAs or the GMC or the ICP are on the same side or opposite sides, etc. I'm glad to say that I was not put off eating French Fries, but I probably will hold off the s**t burger in future.
Is the review positive or negative?
