The author goes above and beyond to paint a mental picture about the dark side of the fast food industry and how Americans have naturally become fast food junkies. Schlosser says, "The whole experience of buying fast food has become so routine, so thoroughly unexceptional and mundane, that it is now taken for granted like brushing our teeth or stopping for a red light.” The author also states that “It has become a
social custom as American as a small, rectangular, hand-held, frozen, and reheated apple pie”.
Schlosser point of view also states that, “A nation’s diet can be more revealing than its art or literature. He also says, “On any given day in
the United States about one-quarter of the adult population visits a fast food restaurant.” Moreover, he also states “What people eat (or don’t eat) has always been determined by a complex interplay of social, economic, and technological forces.” Fast food is built into the American way of life according to the author, “In 1970 Americans spent $6 billion on fast food; in 2000, they spent more than $110 billion.” The industry's exponential growth sees no decline ahead with dollar menus and an ever hectic lifestyle depending more and more on the fast, cheap food.
