Fast Food Nation - the Movie
May 23rd, 2006 . by Jilly
Awhile back, I read the book Fast Food Nation, which was kinda like the history of the fast food industry. They’ve made it into a movie, and they debuted it at the Cannes Film Festival this week. It stars Greg Kinnear, Ethan Hawke, and Patricia Arquette. I’m sure this movie will be similar to Supersize Me. Of course there’s controversy, people in the industry feel the need to defend themselves. But there is a lot of wrong being done, along the way by the people trying to make money.
You can watch the trailer here. The movie will come to the theaters this fall.
After I read the book, I decided to not eat fast food. I stuck to my guns for like a good 6 months, and then I caved. But watching and reading this kinda stuff is good motivation to eat right. And if there’s anyone that wants to share this information with their kids, this author wrote a book, just for kids called “Chew On This.”
