The book, Chew On This, is about what the fast food industry does not tell you what is in your food, how your food is made and where it comes from. The book informs you of what the fast-food industry does to their food that they sell. It also talks about some history of how some fast food companies are build and how hamburgers are invented. The topic is limited because the book only elaborates the negative side of the fast food industry. Some facts that are talked about in this book are how some fast food products are produced, invented and made, how companies started, and what the fast food industry is not telling us about what we eat from their stores.

This book has a lot of details on how people are turning obese because of fast food. For example, when the author talked about how a guy who was thin when he was a kid and became obese when he turned sixteen.

I personally like fast food because I think it tastes delicious and it is always prepared fast. I don 't like food that I have to use utensils to eat it but, after reading this book, I learned that fast food products are unhealthy for you and the consequences are horrible if you take in too much fast food. I would rather eat something healthier than processed food. I also know that the facts that are on this book are accurate because I have noticed that the information that the book gives is stable from beginning to end. Also, I have watched a movie called "Food Inc." which shows what happens inside a slaughter house. When the book talked about how a chicken is raised and how it is slaughter was similar to what "Food Inc." showed in the movie. The description of the author matched the movie clips that "Food Inc." showed. The documentary won an Emmy-Award which means that the documentary is trustworthy. The novel has also informed people with how the fast food industry works. Explaining to the people who they target, who invented it, what they put in their products, how their products are made, when the fast food industry started, and what are the horrible effects of too much fast food. And though the book only spoke about the negative things that the fast food industry causes, I would have recommended that the author show a balance side of negative and positive things that we gain from fast food
