Chew on this!

Do you really know whats in your fast food? What are artificial flavors anyway?
Chew on this will answer all you questions and much more. This is a influential and eye opening book that will keep you away from fast food chains for a LONG time!
One thing that I found very ridiculous is that fast food chains target children to boost their sales! They take the most vulnerable and easily influenced people and they persuade them to eat their food. They use toys, friendly characters and of coarse bright colored commercials with memorable jingles that the kids will repeat and in turn eat. 
An important issue brought up in the book was the way the food in fast food chains is made. They use old meat from slaughtered malnourished animals and they cook their fries in beef fat! The food is extremely unhealthy. They fill all their food and drinks with artificial flavors to mimic actual flavor! And the facilities in which these foods are made? They are disgusting and unsanitary. Nothing about fast food is healthy or appetizing to me after this book!
After finishing my eyes were opened to the horrid things that go on behind the drive thru window. When your eating fast food you never really thing about whats in it because you're hungry! But when you actually know how artificial everything is you wouldn't even want to give them any money.
In the last few chapters it talks about how corporations like McDonald's are corrupting our people and making us overweight but I have to disagree. I think you as a person are in charge of what you put into your body. If you want to put toxic fast food into your body that is your choice, you cannot blame the media! Overall I believe that we, as a society should decide not to eat fast food and we should make a healthier future for ourselves and get fast food corporations out of business!
