	Five Minutes With Eric Schlosser (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		One person responsible for raising public awareness of the issue is Eric Schlosser, an award-winning journalist and modern-day Upton Sinclair who penned Fast Food Nation in 2001, a blistering expose of the dark side of the fast food industry: health risks, horrific working conditions and industry efforts to market directly to children.

		Schlosser then goes on to describe the working conditions for the modern employees of these restaurants and how the major fast-food chains prey on the uneducated workforce as a source of disposible cheap labor.

		Schlosser states that corporate tax cuts that have compromised school funding have presented many corporations with the opportunity for sponsorship within those same schools.
