Eric Schlosser

Despite its low price, fast food comes with hidden costs: the mistreatment of workers, a growing obesity epidemic, and declining meat quality. Fast-food industries compromise people's health, education, and job safety by sacrificing quality to maximize profits. Avoid processed foods. Most processed foods include flavorings with origins that are difficult to trace - and you might not want to trace them. Therefore, if you want to know what you're consuming, avoiding processed food is best. Be wary of fast-food advertisements. Keep in mind how fast-food products are made. If you're informed about their production, you might reconsider consuming them when you see their ads.

“The history of the twentieth century was dominated by the struggle against totalitarian systems of state power. The twenty-first will no doubt be marked by a struggle to curtail excessive corporate power.”

“The market is a tool, and a useful one. But the worship of this tool is a hollow faith. Far more important than any tool is what you make with it.”

“The executives who run the fast food industry are not bad men. They are businessmen. They will sell free-range, organic, grass-fed hamburgers if you demand it. They will sell whatever sells at a profit.”
