The disastrous health effects from the enormous appetite for these processed fat- and sugar-loaded foods are well publicized now.

This A-to-Z reference is the first to focus on the junk food and fast food phenomena from a multitude of angles in addition to health and diet concerns. More than 250 essay entries objectively explore the scope of the topics to illuminate the American way through products, corporations and entrepreneurs, social history, popular culture, organizations, issues, politics, commercialism and consumerism, and much more.</p> <p>Interest in these topics is high.
