Precis: 1st Chunk "Fast Food Nation"

In the first chunk of "Fast Food Nation," author Eric Schlosser states that "fast food has hastened the malling of our landscape, widened the chasm between rich and poor, fueled an epidemic of obesity, and propelled American cultural imperialism abroad." No arguments here. The truth is that fast food resturants are so common that it has somehow grown to be inevitable, as though it has become too good to avoid. Schlosser also staes that American eating habits have changed more so in the past thirty years than in the prvious three thousand.
