The author worked full-time at a Burger King outlet for ten months gathering information for this study. This text analyzes the profound effect the fast food industry has had on women's work, youth employment, the labour movement, the family, and the community. Family life, for example, has changed dramatically in the last 40 years as many activities that were traditionally part of the home have been replaced by services available in the marketplace. This study examines the way the fast food model is being adopted in other areas, such as health, and explores unionization in fast food businesses.
