Ten Years Later...
This article relates to Fast-Food Nation because it is a reflection on the book 10 years later. Just from this one book Eric Schlosser has made a huge change in the way people view fast food. Even though the obese rates have gone up and millions of people still eat at McDonald's, there are been many positive changes to school lunches and healthier fast-food choices along the highways. It is now more common to walk into a food store and see an organic section or be driving down the road and see an all organic store. Throughout the article Eric lists his main points throughout the book and how his book has changed the world.

Studies
This article relates to the book I'm reading, “Fast Food Nation”, in many ways. The article talks about studies done to show how bad fast food really is for your health, and in the book there are some of the same studies done mostly on animals. Monkeys, for example. The article talks about oils in foods. Which is also talked about in the book. Fast-food announced that it was cutting partially hydrogenated oils from its food in the US and Canada.
