The movie offered more visuals (obviously) but also gave me the visuals I needed to get the full affect of what I had read. Reading Fast Food Nation got into deep details about the history of the founders and other historical things that I found was not needed to understand the full meaning behind how the food was made and taken care of. The movie got right to the point and showed both the good and the bad side of slaughter houses and seeing actual people talking about there experience in the slaughter house and seeing how they handled the animals hit me a lot harder then when i just read the book.
What still blows my mind is why do people still buy from fast food franchises after knowing the dirty truth and if people know fast food franchises and corporations bend so many rules why aren't they being sued and being held responsible for the illnesses caused by there products?
I'm glad my mind was open up because I really am against eating meat from fast food franchises knowing how poorly everyone there is treated and especially how the meat is cared for. I don't plan on being a vegetarian but I do plan on buying my meat in a healthier fashion.
