Fast food is what many people eat in America, and increasingly in other countries. It is advertised to be fun, tasty and easily available.

Fast food is what many people eat in America, and increasingly in other countries. It is advertised to be fun, tasty and easily available. Americans spend more money on fast food annually than on higher education. Eric Schlosser, the author of âFast Food Nation, the Dark Side of the All-American Meal.â He writes that it is not only what is served for human consumption that is the problem, but the art of mass marketing to children, through organized promotions and ads for it products in school buses, hallways and even bathroom stalls, has serious side effects in society. Further, the working conditions for employees of meat packing plants, and the resulting contamination of their products, resulted as of July 2002 in the recall of 19 million pounds of beef. In addition to the acute health hazard of contamination, a fast food meal often contains more fat in one meal that the average person needs in a day.
