Fast Food City

I've been reading the book Fast Food Nation. I expected it to be more of an indictment of the fast food industry -- I tend to go out to eat a lot (single professional guy, you know) and I eat way too much fast food. I want to quit, or at least cut back, but I live in a city without a lot of choices, frankly. The book is fascinating; the statistics and personal stories in there are mind boggling. But it's more of an indictment of the food industry as a whole (I just read the chapter on meatpacking and slaughterhouses today) rather than just fast food. Though the fast food industry's boom is responsible for changes in other parts of the food "industry." Anyway, I figure I may just have to stop eating completely.
