ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Fast Food Nation

Fast food nation is about how fast food companies make their food, where it comes from and how it affects people's health. Fast food is made and sold really quickly, and the companies that make it try to make it as cheap as possible. They buy ingredients, like meat and vegetables, from farms all over the world, and use lots of special techniques, like freezing and deep frying, to make it taste good. Eating too much fast food can make people sick and overweight, so it's important to eat it in moderation.
