Despite the fact that Fast Food nation has a section devoted to "fast food", I found it to be a "The Jungle" for the 90s. The real muckraking was its expose of the meatpacking industry of the midwest and its terrible labor practices. I could care less if they can make something smell like a cheeseburger.
