When you ask someone why they love fast food, they will most likely tell you that it's because it tastes good. Although that may be true, many Americans don't know the secret behind the flavor of some of their favorite fast foods. According to Eric Schlosser's book The Dark Side of the All American Meal, just about all of fast foods are processed so most of their original flavor is destroyed. To make of for the loss of flavor, the factories that process the food add in ingredients like beef extract, unknown animal products, and other artifical additives.
Statistics show that about one quarter of the US population eat fast food every day, and that roughly 12% of the working class has worked at McDonald's. Children are now about to recognize McDonald's golden arches before they can even say their own name. Those same golden arches have become more recognized than the Christian cross. Is this really the world that we're living in?
