Has anyone seen the movie "Fast Food Nation"? Or read the book? What did you think?

I watched it yesterday...a bit much for my age [[rated R]] but, as disturbing as it was, I enjoyed it.

Hmm, didn't realise there was a film. I've seen the book: amazon keep recommending it to me! Is it along the same lines as "Supersize Me?" I thought that film was great - a lot of people thought I was neurotic about food until that came out

And even I was pretty shocked at some of the content...

I've also just seen a review for a book called "Twinkie - Deconstructed." Apparently, it's pretty gross

The title of the book catches my attention! "Twinkie - Deconstructed" definitely sounds like something I'd be interested in.

"fast food nation" is a bit like "supersize me" [[great movie, I agree]] but it's not a documentary, it has some strong sex scenes, and reveals a lot more about the slaughterhouse and meat-packing companies.
