Did you read Fast Food Nation? |
|
How has it affected you?
(Affected or effected? This is my worst grammar problem)

1. Yes. I don't eat meat or fowl and haven't for 3 or 4 years... |
|
I still eat dairy, fish, and eggs so I don't pretend to be a vegetarian.
His book reminded me of "The Jungle" by Upton Sinclair.

2. "Affected" is correct. |
|
I've read excerpts, but not the whole thing. I'll probably read it eventually, when my appetite stabilizes. (When I'm under a lot of stress, I can become quite food-averse for long periods of time -- for some reason, this time around, I can stomach fast food better than lots of other things. It wouldn't be a good time to become repulsed by the whole idea.)

6. That much, I actually knew |
|
I worked in a school that was pretty well indentured to Taco Bell.
Still...right now, it's either "eat corporate crap that I don't even normally like" or "lose a whole bunch of weight I don't need to lose, really fast." I gotta be selfish sometimes.

4. I read it when it first came out three years ago |
|
haven't even used a Fast Food bathroom since then. I stopped eating commercial ground beef too. Now I only cook what I know is ground on premesis, and even then, only rarely. I eat alot of more ground turkey and tons more pork and chicken than I used to.
It also encouraged me to reread The Jungle by Upton Sinclair. Which is available in its entirety online.

5. You know - after reading it - I'm even more afraid of ground turkey and |
|
chicken. There's much more crap that could get into that. Feathers, beaks, bird shit, floor lining - :puke:
I will admit that I've eaten alot of turkey burgers since reading it. I just have to shut my brain off while I do it.
