I've been reading Fast Food Nation for months, and I found that the book is actually about not only fast food culture and history but also explaining how these industries works, which is very interesting.
Chapter 3 & 4 talks about the management of their employees and finance. The fast food companies like to hire students or teenagers, and the reason is obvious: to save cost, which is the core of the management of fast food industry.
The next chapters are about the other industries related to fast food. We can know how fast food are made from the original ingredients. I found the chapter "Why the Fries Taste Good" the most interesting. I always wonder how french fries are made, and in that chapter, the author introduce how they invented this find of food and the modern potato industry behind it.
In the following chapters, flavor industry and modern ranch are also introduced. And the author wrote much about what is happening in the slaughterhouses. The ones who work there are doing "the most dangerous job", as the author defines. They might cut their fingers off!
