Fast food has taken a public relations beating the last several years. One of the best books I'v read in the last ten years was Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation. It exposes the fast food industry as a deceitful, unhealthy, fattening world of profits. Then there was Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me, a cheeky expose of what an all-Mickey D's diet will do to you. Then there's Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma, which makes you feel guilty for enjoying the smell of bacon. Then there are the localvore's advocating slow food. All-in-all, not a good decade for fast food, except for their profits, of course. In to this thicket, read Steve Tuttle's In Defense of Fast Food. Hint: You can't take him too seriously.
