Chain restaurants are killing us: Billionaire bankers, minimum-wage toilers and the nasty truth about fast-food nation

Fast food is not only harmful for health, but also for self-respect. Americans used to eat on the run, go to the awful toilets, work on low-paid jobs in KFC and McDonald's. All this make us a nation with no self esteem.

In his classic Fast Food Nation (2001), Eric Schlosser describes the industry’s manic pursuit of standardization.

The food arrives at the restaurant mostly frozen; the machines that do the cooking are foolproof; virtually no skills are required. “Jobs that have been ‘de-skilled’ can be filled cheaply,” writes Schlosser. “The need to retain any individual worker is greatly reduced by the ease with which he or she can be replaced.”
