Fast Food Nation

Fast Food Nation was the obvious book choice for me. One main reason is my brother, Aram. My brother eats fast food frequently and does not have the healthiest diet. A large reason for this is his phobia of a lot of foods; he can't be near salad and most vegetables, he'll only eat chicken in chicken nugget or cutlet form, he is grossed out by cheese unless it's in mozzarella sticks or pizza, and those are only a few examples. It's honestly really weird and he's started to try new things, but a large part of him can't bring himself to eat a healthier variety of food. The more knowledgeable I become about why he shouldn't eat fast food and these foods that are obviously bad, the more I can try to teach and help him. Also, this type of information is important for everyone to know because fast food is all around us, and is unfortunately a large part of American culture and society. Personally, I don't eat fast food and am very health conscious. Being healthy is such an important part of my life, and to be healthy, you also need to know why and how not to be unhealthy.
