Fast Food Nation

At the core of the ensemble drama is Don Anderson (Greg Kinnear), the Marketing Director for the hamburger chain Mickey's (a parody of McDonald's), who helped develop the "Big One," (a parody of the Big Mac, McDonald's' most popular menu item) its most popular menu item. When he learns that independent research has discovered the considerable presence of fecal matter in the meat, he travels to the fictitious town of Cody, Colorado[1] to verify if the local slaughterhouse, the main supplier for Mickey's, is guilty of sloppy production techniques.

Don's tour of the processing plant shows him only the pristine work areas and most efficient procedures, but those with previous connections to the company alert him of all the horrors that were kept secret from him. Don slowly comes to the realization that the simple hamburger sold by Mickey's and everywhere else may not be as healthy as the public is led to believe it is.

Secondary plots deal with the exploitation of illegal immigrants from Mexico, the expectations of fast food restaurant employees and how they are treated, and the efforts of a small group of young anti-corporate activists to save the cattle from horrendous conditions.

Several smaller sub-plots, such as a girl working for Mickey's becoming disillusioned, teenagers planning an act of defiance against the company, and the life of a particular Mexican woman as it is affected by the fast food industry are all featured in the film.

Yuck, We have a freezer and get beef from a local farmer that organically raises, no antibiotics or steroids, no nitrogen injection, no dye

After 3-4 years eating good beef, I cant eat fast food anymore nor quite a few restaurants

Whilst I do support their view, I have to agree with some of the posts, I do wish that they would give more links or sources of information. Isn't the movie supposed to be for a motivation for a cause? Rather than an attempt to just get more tickets sold for a movie? Anyway, if their facts are somewhat valid, that's pretty shocking.
