i read fast food nation a couple of summers ago. the facts were interesting and it was a decent enough read. i guess i never really eat enough fast food to actually care about the material the author discussed. and then i was on the apple trailer website and i noticed that they made a Fast Food Nation movie. and i think it's supposed to be a fictional plot that somehow covers all of the same material the book covered which was more of like a personal memoir/non-fiction work. that, and avril lavigne is in this movie too. this thing already has the meat cleaver at the ready. box office bust, i can tell.
