Author Eric Schlosser rips apart the black box that is the American fast food and meat industry, and it’s at times lucid, enlightening, and digusting… sometimes all at once. (Thank goodness I don’t eat red meat.) A great, compelling read that will change the way you look at “1 billion served” forever.</p> <a name="more"></a> </div> <div class="entryFooter">This here entry was posted November 14, 2001 06:46 PM</div> <div class="entryDivider"><img src="/images/separator.gif" width="56" height="19" alt="" /></div> <!-- Okay, that's enough content for one day --> </div> <div id="footer"> <?php include("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/retiredSite3/includes/footer.txt"); ?> </div> </div> <!-- End of lefthand content column --> <!-- Begin righthand content column --> <div id="rightCol"> <div id="issn"><br /><a href="http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/6/13/index-e.html">ISSN</a> 1499-7894</div> <div class="sideHeader">Recent Posts</div> <div class="sideBox"><?php include("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/retiredSite3/includes/recent.txt"); ?></div> <!-- Begin Search Box --> <div class="sideHeader">SEARCH</div> <?php include("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/retiredSite3/includes/search.txt"); ?> <!-- That's it for the Search Box --> </div> <!-- That's it for the righthand column! --> </div> <!-- End Main body --> <!-- I plan to replace this image map with accessible-friendly text navigation at some point, but who has the time? --> <map name="navigation" id="navigation"> <area shape="rect" alt="Contact" coords="617,0,689,19" href="/retiredSite3/contact.php" /> <area shape="rect" alt="Archives" coords="510,0,589,19" href="/retiredSite3/archives.php" /> <area shape="rect" alt="Web Love" coords="394,0,483,19" href="/retiredSite3/weblove.php" /> <area shape="rect" alt="Writing" coords="279,0,364,19" href="/retiredSite3/writing/" /> <area shape="rect" alt="Photos" coords="177,0,252,19" href="/retiredSite3/photos/" /> <area shape="rect" alt="FAQs" coords="83,0,149,19" href="/retiredSite3/faqs.php" /> <area shape="rect" alt="Home" coords="0,0,57,19" href="/retiredSite3/index.php" /> </map> </div> <!-- Page wrapper --> </body> </html>
