Five Loaves, Two Fishes And Six Chicken Nuggets: Urinations From Inside The Fast Food Tent - Plot & Excerpts
The defence speaksI belong to an elite club. Membership consists of ex-Burger King CEOs. At the last count there were only 175,397 of us still alive.As Club VP for External Relations, I have a responsibility. The fast-food industry has come under heavy mortar fire from a journalist by the name of Eric Schlosser in his book Fast Food Nation. We need a response.In no particular order of priority, the industry stands accused of fuelling mass obesity, losing a better way of life, exploiting labour and consumers (particularly children in both camps), abusing power, being pathetically regulated, advancing new diseases, unfairly distributing wealth, and over-globalising the planet. After reading it I felt like Pol Pot.What an absolute crock.I cannot attempt a detailed debate in a few paragraphs. That’s even if I wanted to – and I don’t. The truth is that there is much about the industry that should give everybody in it cause for concern, and objective challenge should be welcomed. But a full debate needs two added dimensions that the book doesn’t provide.First, it needs balance.
