This book was required reading for English class. We wrote essays on corporate America, the American Dream, labor issues, and food ingredients. We broke apart this book chapter by chapter. I know that I will never eat meat again or go to the grocery store without reading every label. I highly recommend this book to anyone that thinks that some of fast food is healthy. I was totally shocked by the lack of safety regulations in the food industry and the sadness of reading about a child dying in his mother's arms from e-coli.
