## Description

‘The history of the twentieth century was dominated by the struggle against totalitarian systems of state power. The twenty-first will no doubt be marked by a struggle to curtail excessive corporate power.’ This landmark work of reportage exposed how a handful of fast-food giants came to dominate America and remake the world in their image: eroding wages, damaging consumers’ health and wrecking the environment. From talking to workers at meatpacking plants with shocking safety records to revealing the tactics used to target ever-younger customers, Eric Schlosser’s blend of humane storytelling and meticulous research encouraged millions to question the industrial food system, and to rethink the way they eat.
