Chew on this

In Chew On This, the authors starts explaining the history of the hamburger. Then they start describing how restaurants like McDonald's and KFC were started and how they grew. In the other chapters, they reveal the true ingredients contained in fast food and talk about how many of these ingredients lead to Type II Diabetes, heart attacks, obesity and more.
As many young people are concerned about how their actions can affect not only themselves but also the world as a whole, The authors are quick to point out the impact that the fast food industry has had on jobs, smaller businesses, and the global economy. They talk more about the importance of healthy working environments and fair treatment for workers and explain how places like McDonald's breed underpaid and overworked employees who often barely last more than three months on the job. Eric Schlosserand Charles Wilson describe the unsafe conditions of some of the beef and chicken slaughterhouses that supply fast food restaurants with meat. They also talk about  a little-known fact that most of us don't know that there is a danger of poop being in the beef served at these places.
