'Eric Schlosser changed the way we ate' Guardian
'Irresistible . . . frighteningly convincing . . . channelling the spirits of Upton Sinclair and Rachel Carson' San Francisco Chronicle
'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.'
This landmark work of reportage exposed how a handful of fast-food giants came to dominate America and remake the world in their image: eroding wages, damaging consumers' health and wrecking the environment. From talking to workers at meatpacking plants with shocking safety records to revealing the tactics used to target ever-younger customers, Eric Schlosser's blend of humane storytelling and meticulous research encouraged millions to question the industrial food system, and to rethink the way they eat.
