"In the quarter of a century since Eric Schlosser published Fast Food Nation, his hugely bestselling look at the impact of a food system controlled by a handful of multinationals, the dangers of industrialised food are growing. In this extract from a special 25th anniversary edition of the book, Schlosser looks back at the personal attacks he faced after publication, and the increased concentration of who controls the food we eat.

"Ingrid LeFebour woke up on a concrete slab, covered in a sheet in the morgue on the remote Indonesian island of Nias in 1976, she had no idea how she got there.Nor did anyone else know her fate some believed she had died in bizarre circumstances. LeFabour's disappearance featured prominently in the film Point of Change, a documentary about discovery of Nias by Australian surfers in the 1970s."
Fast Food Nation marks 25 years and highlights growing dangers from industrialised food and increased corporate concentration of food supply. The piece recounts personal attacks faced after publication and emphasizes how a handful of multinationals now exert major control over food production and distribution. The disappearance of Ingrid LeFebour is described, noting her waking in a morgue in Nias in 1976 and her story resurfacing in the documentary Point of Change. Cultural notes include Yungblud's expanded rock stardom after a Black Sabbath tribute and the contentious appointment and chaotic early tenure of CBS News head Bari Weiss.
