Annotated Bibliography

I'm currently reading "Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal" by Eric Schlosser. He spent two years researching fast food and its significance on American culture. He mentions such physical effects and being a direct cause of obesity, such mental effects as 96% of children are able to recognize Ronald McDonald (who, by the way, was first played by Willard Scott, the man that gives us such whimsical smiles with his Alzheimer ramblings and lackadaisical insanity), and economic effects such as McDonald's being the largest purchaser of beef, potatoes, and pork, on top of being the largest retail property owner in the world. Obviously this book is slanted and not going to talk about the Ronald McDonald House Charities or things of that nature because those are subjects constantly advertised and, for the most part, well known. Anyone curious in the subject should pick up this book and maybe think twice before turning down that local restaurant down the street in favor of a burger and some fries.
