The first heard of the movie "Fast Food Nations" in 8th grade when my I found out my classmate had recently gone vegan after watching this particular movie.

In conclusion I think that the author Eric Schlosser did a amazing job at getting the point across to the viewers and the director Richard Linklater did a mediocre job at best directing
