Fast food has taken a public relations beating the last several years. One of the best books I'v read in the last ten years was Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation . It exposes the fast food industry as a deceitful, unhealthy, fattening world of profits. Then there was Morgan Spurlock's Super Size Me , a cheeky expose of what an all-Mickey D's diet will do to you. Then there's Michael Pollan's...

Food, Inc. examines where our food comes from, and with commentary from Eric Schlosser (Fast Food Nation) and Michael Pollan (In Defense of Food), the story isn't pretty as corporate greed is shown to define a nation's diet. Another...

... coast (either coast), trust me when I say it’s actually non-partisan. Neither Michael Pollan nor Eric Schlosser are telling you to stop eating meat and eggs, but both men want you to be more aware of what goes into the food on your plate. Their target is the corporate food industry, and the factual information they have to share is often frightening, sometimes shocking, and always...

by Kevin Blackistone Filed under: NFL Sylvester Stallone has Hollywood all a twitter (the old school use of the word) right now over an action flick he is producing called The Expendables . Reason is, it stars a bunch of guys' guys including Jason Statham, Jet Li, Julia Roberts' brother Eric and Mickey Rourke, who back in the day I thought Bruce Willis was a cheap imitation of. The movie is...

The idea that dinner is dangerous should conjure up the memories of bad dates past, disgruntled Thanksgiving celebrations or maybe visions of zombie lobsters. But for Michael Pollan and Eric Schlosser, the men who wrote "The Omnivore's Dilemma" and "Fast Food Nation," respectively, the grossest, most callous, inhumane and ultimately destructive part of your supper happens months before...
