I spoke with Schlosser recently by phone about food workers and the movement for fairness in the food chain.
He continues to speak on the issue, and just last year he served as an executive producer of the documentaries Food Chains and Hannah Ranch. Schlosser, who has since published three nonfiction books and has been working on a book about the American prison system for over a decade, remains connected to the food world. Schlosser eventually found a publisher willing to take the leap and today, 15 years and more than two million copies later, Fast Food Nation has proven that there’s an appetite for powerful investigative reporting about the journey our food takes to get to our plates. No one would buy a food book that didn’t include recipes, they said. When Eric Schlosser pitched Fast Food Nation to publishers in 1999, they balked.
