This Friday night the movie Fast Food Nation opens in theatres nationwide. Fast Food Nation is a movie based on the non-fiction book written by Eric Schlosser. It is not a documentary. The book made many, many people go veg, largely due to health reasons. Like the book, the film is NOT an animal rights movie. It is mostly a movie about immigrant workers, but it makes meat seem really dirty and disgusting. The premise of the movie: “how is poop getting in the meat?” In screenings across the country and abroad, people were educated for the first time and said that they’d never be able to eat meat again – some will and some won’t, but it is having that effect.
This is not a documentary, but as said before, it is based on the findings of the book Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser.
