This may sound like an odd recipe for movie success: Fast Food Nation,
directed by Richard Linklater, is a fictional thriller based on Eric
Schlosser's nonfictional investigation of the fast food industry and
its detrimental effects on the country. The concoction will be served up a
week from today, November 17. There is a movie tie-in edition of Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All-American Meal (HarperCollins, 006116139X).
