Description


As noted in the preface, the McDonald's sign proudly proclaiming "over 99 billion hamburgers sold" is emblematic of the proliferation of fast food. Author Smith explains that his motivation in producing this volume was "based on a deep concern with the effects fast food and junk food have upon the United States and the world." The encyclopedia is aimed at a general audience and intended to be "the primary balanced source for information about fast food and junk food."



Junk food is defined as commercial products "which have little or no nutritional value but do have plenty of calories, salt, and fats." Fast food is "ready-to-eat foods served promptly after ordering." Alphabetically arranged entries cover the types of junk food (Extruded snacks, Ginger ale, Hot dogs); specific brands (Moon Pie, Mounds Bar, Mountain Dew); companies (Frito-Lay, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Panda Express); health issues (Diabetes, Foodborne illnesses); and a variety of other related topics, from Animal rights movement, Anti-unionization, and Architecture and design to Sports sponsorships, Vending machines, and Waste. In addition to an alphabetical list of entries, there is a list of entries by topic (for example, "Bakery Goods," "Beverages"). A chronology highlights milestones in the fast-food and junk-food industry. Entries that are more specific in nature, such as Nachos and Nathan's Famous, range from a couple of paragraphs to about a page and a half, while entries covering general concepts, such as Advertising, run two to three pages. Each entry lists one or more suggested readings. Some black-and-white photographs illustrate the text.



The volume concludes with a glossary, selected bibliography, resource guide, and an index. This would be ideal for public libraries as well as undergraduate and high-school libraries. Jennifer Dawson
