Analysis Of Fast Food Nation By Eric Schlosser

Why is health such an important thing in human lives and why are those humans not caring for that life? These are the questions that people should ask themselves. We live in a world where almost everything is processed and almost nothing is grown organically, many are not taught how to cherish what is given and don’t realize that the human body is like a temple that should be loved inside and out. In the book of Eric Schlosser, “Fast Food Nation”, Schlosser talks about the history of how the big fast food chains started and what they did to make there chain more productive to clientele, but also Schlosser mentions in what conditions some of the meat that was cut was in There are also the factors about how much of an impact there is when people

In an article from national society they mention that the foods that are killing people slowly isn’t only the fast food or the high processed foods that is found in the grocery store but the extremely processed salts, and refined sugars.
