This fascinating and revealing work examines the incredible power
of junk food and fast food-how nostalgic we are about them, the
influence of the companies that manufacture or sell them, and their
alarming effect on our country's state of health. In the last half
century, junk food and fast food have come to play an extremely
important role in American economic, historical, cultural, and
social life. Today, they have a major influence on what Americans
eat-and how healthy we are (or aren't). Fast Food and Junk Food: An
Encyclopedia of What We Love to Eat tells the intriguing, fun, and
incredible stories behind the successes of these commercial food
products and documents the numerous health-related, environmental,
cultural, and politico-economic issues associated with them. With
more than 700 alphabetically arranged entries, this two-volume
encyclopedia contains enough listings to allow readers to research
a wide range of fascinating topics. The author treats the massive
amount of subject material within this reference title in a fair
and balanced manner. A secondary focus of this encyclopedia is to
chart the spread of some American fast food chains and commercially
produced junk foods internationally. More than 700 A-Z entries on
fast food, comfort food, and junk food, ranging from breakfast
cereals to burgers and fries to snack chips and candy A chronology
of the significant events in the history of junk food and fast food
A bibliography containing more than 200 entries with citations to
books, articles, and websites A glossary of important terms used in
the encyclopedia A Resource Guide containing important DVDs, films
and videos, and television series
