Over the last three decades, fast food
has infiltrated every nook and cranny of
American society. An industry that began
with a handful of modest hot dog and
5 hamburger stands in southern California
has spread to every corner of the nation,
selling a broad range of foods wherever
paying customers may be found. Fast
food is now served at restaurants and
10 drive-throughs, at stadiums, airports,
zoos, high schools, elementary schools,
and universities, on cruise ships, trains,
and airplanes, at gas stations, and even
at hospital cafeterias. Americans now
15 spend more money on fast food than on
higher education, personal computers,
computer software, or new cars. They
spend more on fast food than on movies,
books, magazines, newspapers, videos,
20 and recorded music—combined.

Pull open the glass door, feel the rush of
cool air, walk in, get in line, study the
backlit color photographs above the
counter, place your order, hand over a
25 few dollars, watch teenagers in uniforms
pushing various buttons, and moments
later take hold of a plastic tray full of food
wrapped in colored paper and cardboard.
The whole experience of buying fast food
30 has become so routine, like brushing
your teeth or stopping for a red light. It
has become a social custom as
American as a small, rectangular, handheld,
frozen, and reheated apple pie.

35 Hundreds of millions of people buy fast
food every day without giving it much
thought, unaware of the subtle and not
so subtle ramifications of their
purchases. They rarely consider where
40 this food came from, how it was made,
what it is doing to the community around
them. They just grab their tray off the
counter, find a table, take a seat, unwrap
the paper, and dig in. The whole
45 experience is transitory and soon
forgotten. People should know what lies
behind the shiny, happy surface of every
fast food transaction. They should know
what really lurks between those sesame50
seed buns. As the old saying goes: You
are what you eat.
