| | Fast food - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Common menu items at fast food outlets include fish and chips, sandwiches, pitas, hamburgers, fried chicken, french fries, chicken nuggets, tacos, pizza, and ice cream, although many fast-food restaurants offer "slower" foods like chili, mashed potatoes, and salads. | | | The food in these restaurants is often cooked in bulk in advance and kept hot, or reheated to order. | | | Fast food is often highly processed and prepared in an industrial fashion, i.e., with standard ingredients and methodical and standardised cooking and production methods. |

| | Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal By Eric Schlosser review by Andrew Roe / San Francisco ... |
| | Today very few companies supply the vast majority of the nation's beef, poultry and potatoes, the staples of the fast food diet; small businesses, ranchers and farmers are disappearing. | | | This is meat that could as easily end up in a supermarket as in a fast food hamburger. | | | With cattle and sheep carcasses being incinerated all over Europe, with fear of mad cow disease spreading, with obesity and diabetes on the rise, especially among children, the American allegiance to fast food was ripe to be challenged. |

| | Fast Food |
| | A lean burger from a fast food restaurant is nearly non-existent. Since these burgers are generally fried, they tend to retain nearly all their fat. Fast food hamburgers are also full of sodium and cholesterol. | | | Following are two fast food meals which are similar, but which have very different nutrient contents: | | | Grilled and roasted chicken meals tend to have the lowest fat content and the lowest amount of saturated fat. Chicken also has the lowest sodium content (excluding potato products) and fewer calories than most fast food choices. |

| | Fast Food Nation - Eric Schlosser |
| | Fast food has to have something going for it and Schlosser doesn't adequately explain what that is. (We remind readers that we are not fast-food consumers and that we are truly baffled by the phenomenon of people paying for and consuming fast-food products; we would love to hear some sort of convincing explanation for it. | | | Given the popularity of fast food, and the amount of it ingested by Americans (and, increasingly, people all over the world) this is information that desperately needs to be spread among consumers everywhere (though not many people seem eager to hear it). | | | Among other things, he discusses: how and why it developed, current labour practices in fast food establishments, how the taste of food can now be manipulated, contemporary agribusiness, federal regulations (and lack thereof), television advertising, health issues, and the spread of fast food abroad. |

| | This myth-shattering book tells the story of America and the world’s infatuation with fast food, from its origins in 1950s southern California to the global triumph of a handful of burger and fried chicken chains. | | | Evening Standard (UK) - If your biggest worry about eating at a fast food restaurant is whether to order a burger and fries or barbecue grilled nuggets and a strawberry milkshake, then swallow hard and think again. | | | Rates of obesity and food poisoning spiral upwards, but it seems we just can’t get enough of those tasty burgers and fries. |
