Book excerpt: “This is a book to savor, especially if you’re a fast-food fan.”—Bookpage "This fun, argumentative, and frequently surprising pop history of American fast food will thrill and educate food lovers of all speeds." —Publishers Weekly Most any honest person can own up to harboring at least one fast-food guilty pleasure. In Drive-Thru Dreams, Adam Chandler explores the inseparable link between fast food and American life for the past century. The dark underbelly of the industry’s largest players has long been scrutinized and gutted, characterized as impersonal, greedy, corporate, and worse. But, in unexpected ways, fast food is also deeply personal and emblematic of a larger than life image of America. With wit and nuance, Chandler reveals the complexities of this industry through heartfelt anecdotes and fascinating trivia as well as interviews with fans, executives, and workers. He traces the industry from its roots in Wichita, where White Castle became the first fast food chain in 1921 and successfully branded the hamburger as the official all-American meal, to a teenager's 2017 plea for a year’s supply of Wendy’s chicken nuggets, which united the internet to generate the most viral tweet of all time. Drive-Thru Dreams by Adam Chandler tells an intimate and contemporary story of America—its humble beginning, its innovations and failures, its international charisma, and its regional identities—through its beloved roadside fare.

Download or read book In Defense of Processed Food written by Robert L. Shewfelt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-23 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become popular to blame the American obesity epidemic and many other health-related problems on processed food. Many of these criticisms are valid for some processed-food items, but many statements are overgeneralizations that unfairly target a wide range products that contribute to our health and well-being. In addition, many of the proposed dangers allegedly posed by eating processed food are exaggerations based on highly selective views of experimental studies. We crave simple answers to our questions about food, but the science behind the proclamations of food pundits is not nearly as clear as they would have you believe. This book presents a more nuanced view of the benefits and limitations of food processing and exposes some of the tricks both Big Food and its critics use to manipulate us to adopt their point of view. Food is a source of enjoyment, a part of our cultural heritage, a vital ingredient in maintaining health, and an expression of personal choice. We need to make those choices based on credible information and not be beguiled by the sophisticated marketing tools of Big Food nor the ideological appeals and gut feelings of self-appointed food gurus who have little or no background in nutrition.
Download or read book Supersizing Urban America written by Chin Jou and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2017-03-15 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Supersizing Urban America reveals how the US government has been, and remains, a major contributor to America s obesity epidemic. Government policies, targeted food industry advertising, and other factors helped create and reinforce fast food consumption in America s urban communities. Historian Chin Jou uncovers how predominantly African-American neighborhoods went from having no fast food chains to being deluged. She lays bare the federal policies that helped to subsidize the expansion of the fast food industry in America s cities and explains how fast food companies have deliberately and relentlessly marketed to urban, African-American consumers. These developments are a significant factor in why Americans, especially those in urban, low-income, minority communities, have become disproportionately affected by the obesity epidemic."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER • 2021 PULITZER PRIZE IN HISTORY Winner • 2022 James Beard Foundation Book Award [Writing] The “stunning” (David W. Blight) untold history of how fast food became one of the greatest generators of black wealth in America. Just as The Color of Law provided a vital understanding of redlining and racial segregation, Marcia Chatelain’s Franchise investigates the complex interrelationship between black communities and America’s largest, most popular fast food chain. Taking us from the first McDonald’s drive-in in San Bernardino to the franchise on Florissant Avenue in Ferguson, Missouri, in the summer of 2014, Chatelain shows how fast food is a source of both power—economic and political—and despair for African Americans. As she contends, fast food is, more than ever before, a key battlefield in the fight for racial justice.

Download or read book Fast Food Globalization in the Provincial Philippines written by Ty Matejowsky and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few contemporary societies remain beyond the global reach of today’s fast food industry. In both profound and subtle ways, this style of cuisine and the corporate brands that promote it have effectively transformed the appetites, health profiles, and consumer sensibilities of millions the world over. To better understand the variegated impact of McDonald’s and other national and international quick-service eateries on local life within a non-western urban context, Ty Matejowsky offers readers a highly engaging and granular account detailing the rise and popularity of these American-style chains throughout the Philippines. In Fast Food Globalization in the Provincial Philippines, Matejowsky examines the rich, diverse, and decidedly syncretic food traditions of the Philippines, one of the few global markets where industry giant McDonald’s lags behind in competition with an indigenous chain. Drawing on over twenty years of ethnographic fieldwork in two provincial Philippine cities—Dagupan City, Pangasinan and San Fernando City, La Union—Matejowsky has crafted one of the few anthropological accounts of fast food production and consumption within the socioeconomic milieu of a less-developed country. By turns critically engaged and highly reflexive, he examines many of the historical, political, economic, and sociocultural complexities that characterize the Philippines’ now thriving fast food scene. Amid intersections of post-colonial resistance, retail indigenization, corporatized childhood experiences, and rising “globesity,” Matejowsky considers the myriad ways this seemingly ubiquitous dining format is reimagined by industry players and everyday Filipinos to create something that is both intimately familiar and entirely new.
Download or read book Fancy Fast Food written by Erik Trinidad and published by World Swirl Press. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fancy Fast Food (www.fancyfastfood.com), is the brainchild of interactive designer and writer Erik R. Trinidad. Based upon the unique food blog, Fancy Fast Food showcases photographs and recipes of items purchased at fast food chain restaurants that go through an "extreme makeover" to make them appear like haute cuisine. None of it is to be taken seriously; as the website's tagline goes, "Yeah, it's still bad for you -- but see how good it can look!" Launched in May 2009, Fancy Fast Food's aim is to poke fun at the increasing growth of "foodie" culture in America -- something that has been long overdue; The Village Voice has called foodies a "plague" in New York City. The New York Observer labels food zealots as "foodiots." Fancy Fast Food takes an "anti-foodie foodie" stance and mocks the self-important gourmand. Regardless of whether you attempt any of the dozens of recipes in the book, Fancy Fast Food provides an entertaining and hilarious commentary on fast food and pop culture.

Download or read book Fast Food Fast Track written by Jennifer Talwar and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-03-05 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Praise for Fast Food, Fast Track "A fine ethnography with both theoretical and advocative significance, representing the best qualitative sociology." — Choice "Explores the intimate realities and behind-the-scenes exchanges of a multiethnic work force serving the typical American meal. Through a lively narrative and insightful stories, Jennifer Parker Talwar gives a full sense of what it's like to live in both a global economy and a local culture." —Sharon Zukin, author of The Cultures of Cities No longer just pocket money for American teens, wages paid by multinational fast-food chains are going to a new generation of order-takers, burger-flippers, and basket-fryers—newly arrived immigrants hailing from China, the Caribbean, Latin America, and India, a colorful sea of faces has taken its place behind one of the most ubiquitous American business institutions—the fast-food counter. They have become a vital link between the growing service sector in our cities' ethnic enclaves and the multi-billion dollar global fast-food industry. For four years, sociologist Jennifer Parker Talwar went behind the counter herself and listened to immigrant fast-food workers in New York City's ethnic communities. They talked about balancing their low-paying jobs and monotonous daily reality with keeping the faith that these very jobs could be the first step on the path to the American Dream. In this original and compelling work of ethnography, Talwar shows that contrary to those arguing that the fast-food industry only represents an increasing homogenization of the American workforce, fast-food chains in immigrant communities must and do adapt to their surroundings.
Download or read book Fast Food Genocide written by Joel Fuhrman, M.D. and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Live and The End of Diabetes, an unflinching, provocative exploration of how our food is killing us and the ways in which we are unwitting participants in an unprecedented and exploding health crisis. Fast food is far more than just the burgers, fries, and burritos served at chain restaurants; it is also the toxic, human-engineered products found in every grocery store across America. These include: cold breakfast cereals; commercial and preserved (deli) meats and cheeses; sandwich breads and buns; chips, pretzels, and crackers; fried foods; energy bars; and soft drinks. Fast foods have become the primary source of calories in the United States and consequently the most far-reaching and destructive influence on our population. The indisputable truth is that our highly processed diet is the source of a national health crisis that is exploding into a genocide with unseen tragic implications. Heart attacks, strokes, cancer, obesity, ADHD, autism, allergies, and autoimmune diseases all have the same root cause – our addiction to toxic ingredients. New York Times bestselling author, board-certified physician, nutritional researcher, and leading voice in the health field Joel Fuhrman, M.D., explains why the problem of poor nutrition is deeper, more serious, and more pervasive than anyone imagined. Fast Food Genocide draws on twenty-five years of clinical experience and research to confront our fundamental beliefs about the impact of what we eat. This book identifies issues at the heart of our country’s most urgent problems. Fast food kills, but it also perpetuates bigotry and derails the American dream of equal opportunity and happiness for all. It leaves behind a wake of destruction creating millions of medically dependent and sickly people burdened with poor-quality lives. The solution hiding in plain sight — a nutrientdense healthful diet — can save lives and enable humans to reach their intellectual potential and achieve successful and fulfilling lives. Dr. Fuhrman offers a life-changing, scientifically sound approach that can alter American history and perhaps save your life in the process.

Download or read book The Future Of The Fast Food Industry How Technologies Will Revolutionize The Fast Food Industry And Cause More Dark Kitchens To Be Brought To Fruition The Benefits Of Leveraging Robots In The Global Fast Food Industry And How To Earn Substantial Money written by Dr Harrison Sachs and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This essay sheds light on the future of the fast food industry and explicates how technologies will revolutionize the fast food industry and cause more dark kitchens to be brought to fruition. Moreover, the benefits of leveraging robots in the global fast food industry are demystified in this essay. Furthermore, how to earn substantial money online so that you afford to launch your own fast food restaurant is expounded upon in this essay. The future of the fast food industry will not only be characterized by dynamism as it continues to metaphorically evolve, but will also be eminently auspicious for franchisees even though it will present fewer job opportunities for human laborers. It stands to preponderantly reason that demand for fast food will rise to an unprecedented height in the coming years. In other words, "the global fast food market is slated to cross more than $690,000,000,000 in 2022 and is likely to develop at a compound annual growth rate of slightly more than 4.20% from 2017 to 2022" ("Global Industry Trends," 2019). The fast food market is a major segment of the behemoth global restaurant industry. The global restaurant industry is slated to become a "$1,200,000,000,000 industry by 2030" (Maze, 2019). "Fast food is a type of mass-produced food with high saturated fat, sugar, salt and calories. Typically, the term refers to food available in a restaurant or store with preheated or precooked ingredients, and served to the customer in a packaged form for take-out or to be consumed on the premises. Fast food options include fries, burgers, pizzas, sandwiches" ("Global Industry Trends," 2019), and other types of unhealthy food products. Fast foods can be prepared in an expeditious manner and are typically lower priced than menu options from traditional restaurants. "Fast foods are" ("Global Industry Trends," 2019) deemed to be quick alternatives to home-cooked meals" ("Global Industry Trends," 2019) and can often be delivered directly to customers through third party delivery services. Even though fast foods are insalubrious, unhealthy, inflammatory, non-alkaline food choices, people are still voraciously eager to devour fast foods. Customers are reticent about preparing their own foods and are often disinclined to pursue a healthy dietary regimen. Since billions of people do not care an iota about how their dietary decisions can adversely impact their health, the future of the fast food industry will be robust and lucrative for fast food chains. In the coming years, more fast food restaurants will install drive-through windows. "Drive-thru facilities at fast food joints is expected to drive the market growth further. The sharp rise in adoption of western fast food among the emerging economies is anticipated to reinforce the growth of the fast food market in upcoming years. Rising hectic lifestyle with dual income is anticipated to elicit the demand for fast food" ("Global Industry Trends," 2019) in the coming years ("Global Industry Trends," 2019). "Moreover, growing fondness towards inexpensive food with no waiting time may further prompt the fast food market growth over the coming years" ("Global Industry Trends," 2019). Fast food chains realize that their customer base is keen on not only having convenient food options, but also having convenient checkout options. More fast food restaurants will install drive-thru windows in order to be able to appeal to a broader customer base. Customers are eager to buy fast food products from their cars without undergoing the hassle of having to go inside a restaurant to procure their food products. When fast food restaurants have drive through windows, customers are also able to indulge in the luxury of waiting in their vehicles while their food is being prepared. Waiting inside a line at a noisy restaurant can be far more stressful than waiting inside your vehicle for your fast food restaurant order to be fulfilled.
