I'm reading Fast Food Nations right now for one of my classes ... just finished Chapter 8 "The Most Dangerous Job" and Chapter 9 "What's In The Meat". So many things in the book are so disgusting; from the lower level of processing the foods right to the top executives and there lying ways. Although Schlosser sounds biased in many aspects in the book - government wise specifically.

I agree with you K-Wise, but I'ld also include that anybody on the extreme side of a topic would be ignorant (including the all out meat eaters). Once you get fixed on a subject, it's hard to see the other side of the fence - either because you are so fixed on your side or just the fact that you don't want to.

The turn-over rate in that industry is just to high and from the sounds of the book, that's the way the big-wigs want it. If a McDonalds tries to get a Union for it's employees, they just shut it down and open a new one one block away (it happened here in Montreal and is mentioned in FFN) - I was told that only 1 McDonalds does have a Union, but besides heresay I have nothing to prove it.
