Fast Food Nation, the movie based on Eric
Schlosser's book about America's food industry in relation to fast food, is currently in production. I thoroughly enjoyed Schlosser's book, and was captured by the level of detailed
research he put into the text. The movie has just been picked up by Fox Searchlight, and it will not
be a documentary. Rather, it will be a character study based on facts. I think this will be an interesting movie,
and a little more riveting than Super Size Me, which I thought had some biases in its execution. Hopefully
they don't mangle a lot of the factual information presented in the book.Fast Food Nation: The Movie
