The Main Idea of this book can be many different things, but what I think of it as is that Fast food is now become a peice of american culture that has spread around the world. Fast food is a tasty staple of food, that in moderation can be healthy, but if you allow it to build up in your body, can be unhealthy. if you do eat fast food, you also should be aware of how the animals are treateed in it's creation, and you should be careful of were you buy your meat.
