Book recommendation

Hello.

You should all go and read Fast Food Nation by Eric Schlosser. It begins relatively unremarkably, but I soon became gripped by the tales of business tactics, slaughterhouse procedures and the priorities of the fast food companies.

The trouble is that it makes you vow never to touch fast food again, while simultaneously making you lust for another taste of their carefully engineered flavours.

Have now bought 'Shopped', a similar book on the subject of the supermarket takeover of british food shopping.

I have a copy if anyone wants to borrow it.

Said Nile, wandering into someone's journal at random. Or not. And trying to reduce the size of my library.

PIGS: our new faithful pets.

(I'm sure I had a higher-rez version of that somewhere, but I can't find it now. Oh well.)

It doesn't matter how hungry I am, I'm never eating the stuff again. The guy in the lard!!!!!!
