Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food by Eric Schlosser

informative reflective fast-paced

5.0

this is the adolescent reader version of "Fast Food Nation". i got it for my kids but decided to read it first. it was super informative, but didn't get bogged down in boring facts. it selected the most impactful facts and used a good example story about a regular kid/teenager who is affected by said issue and you followed the issue through their story. it was really engaging, informative, and direct. it treated kids with respect, like they can listen to good arguments and be encouraged to think about complicated things. i wish all books aimed at young people about important topics were written with the same level of care, attention, and skill. i like to think this book would have changed my mind when i was a kid.
