You're convinced about the deleterious effects of fast food. But what about your kids?

Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, has just come out with a new book aimed at 9- to 15-year olds. Chew On This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food takes on the fast food and soda industries, the realities of meat production, junk food additives, and the sorry treatment of fast food restaurant employees. Kids get an inside look at the history of the fast food industry, and enough information to start making wiser choices about the food they eat.
