Why fast food is not fit for human consumption

While most people are aware that fast food is not the healthiest food around, they often choose to ignore it in favor of the convenience, taste or cost. However, fast food is far worse than most people are even remotely aware. In fact it's so bad, that it's simply not fit for human or even animal consumption. This is true not only because of the fat or sodium content, but because the animals themselves are often sick from malnutrition, diseased, cancer ridden or worse.

In 2002, author Eric Schlosser, a correspondent for the Atlantic Herald, came out with a ground breaking book called Fast Food Nation which takes us through a sordid maze of deception, cover up, lies, fraud and both animal and human cruelty that has unfortunately become all too common in the meat packing industry today. This was even turned into a 2006 movie release of the same name.
