We are right behind you Eric. Never easy doing the right thing.

[@CelestialForest]

He should narrate a book on tape; he has a great voice.

[@helemundo]

One of the greatest books I've ever come across.

[@Fifipuppy]

Good for you Eric. Keep up the good work. This world and these times need more journalists like you out there because what is called journalism today is mostly a joke.

[@TakeNoGuff]

I went book shopping today at the Goodwill and bought new copies of 'Fast Food Nation' and 'Reefer Madness' for $2.50!! Is that a deal or what???

[@shanonkulkin3290]

Thanks for writing the book! You are exactly right some closed minded people think they could do no wrong!!

[@cameronianwells1839]

Fast Food Nation is one of the 3 best books I have ever read. Fucking Brilliant !!!!

[@LiveOakCS]

So glad you published your book Eric!

[@KleWdSide]

If a muckraker has their hecklers, it means they did something right.

[@musicdood0066]

One of my favorite authors, fa sho! Even though Reefer Madness is the only other book he has out, to my knowledge. These two are that profound to me, though.

an old comment

[@MuhammadAli-hr1bj]

Should be a mandatory text in every school.

[@4thcoming]

@lifehouseisthebest Agreed!!

[@user-pp2zo2yf8r]

Do the people who work in them earn much money?

[@litlemadguitarist]

@vickyutingma But what is and Anti-American? Anti-public or Anti American Gouverment???

[@davidwas77]

litterally the dude talked about a military mountain base for like 5 paragraphs and then he says "hey sometimes they get bored of cafeteria food so they sometimes get burger king or dominoes" then he starts talking about how unhealthy america is.

[@nikhil10011]

Yes that is the introduction to the book and is just two pages long. The emphasis he was making in that introduction was to show how fast food has even infiltrated that facet of America.

[@clacicle]

And your point is?

[@ObiWanGinobiliTopFan]

Based on sheer game plan and well-executed operations, I have to take my hat off to conservative right-wing think tanks. I've always admired power, how could I own a penis if I didn't? Even though those right-wing fish-faced assholes are all about making life even better for pampered rich community, I do admire their ambition and organization skills. I'd love to see a "progressive think thank" get formed with sufficient funds and ambition. Might actually save America.

You got your wish and it fucking sucks worse

[@bberntson]

Do you work for a big corporation or are you simply hoping to get there one day? What's the ratio of worldwide population that benefits from McDonald's advertising vs. those who don't? Do you ask many questions in your life?

[@bberntson]

Who is America in "anti-America"? The few corporate heads that Eric is spotlighting or the consumers he's trying to protect? Your response sounds like a Rush Limbaugh quote.

[@samslick9000]

What does Robert Redford think of his daughter marrying this dork?
