Blog Entry Week 12 - FFN

           I don’t even know where to begin expressing how I feel about the in depth information I read in Fast Food Nation. So much of it truly turned my stomach and it made me question a lot of things about the food we consume. My diet hasn't consisted of pork or beef for 8 years and I must say I’m extremely proud of myself for eliminating it from my diet. It’s horrible how disgustingly crooked the cattle industry is all for the sake of making profits. They feel no remorse in putting bad product out there to be consumed, and what’s worse is what they send to schools for the children.

            I love how forward the author was in describing every aspect of where the food in fast food restaurants comes from. After reading this book, I feel like I don’t even want to eat fast food chicken or fries anymore because I fear they might be cooked with beef fat or artificial beef flavoring. I wish I had time to create a garden and cook more so that I knew exactly where my food came from. One thing I know for sure is that I will definitely only eat at fast food restaurants as a last resort. I don’t eat out much now because it can get expensive but I will definitely eat out even less after reading this book.
