The movie is based on the bestselling book named Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal by Eric Schlosser. Had heard about the book and had read a couple of but couldn’t get hold of it at Crossword however it was easy for me to get my hands on the movie. It talks about the amount of real SHIT that goes in the meat. The movie begins with some agents helping a bunch of poor Mexicans to migrate illegally to US and work in the abattoir of a fictional Fast Food giant Mickey’s where all the cows are slaughtered to make Hamburgers. What goes behind the scenes is really horrifying but they haven’t shown much gore in the movie except in the end where they show a cow being slaughtered and its kidneys removed. A must watch movie..or better still I would recommend the book, though I haven’t read it myself yet because it deals with more of Fast Food like what goes into the making of the French Fries, Pizzas, etc that we all eat with both hands.
