Interview: Fast Food Nation author Eric Schlosser

Thursday, 06/26/08 7:49am and 7:49am

Mitch Wertlieb - Colchester, VT

The rising cost and shortages of food world-wide are putting a spotlight on the politics of what we eat.

And in Burlington this Saturday the topic will be explored further when Eric Schlosser joins Senator Bernie Sanders for a town hall meeting on sustainable agriculture and other food-related issues.

Schlosser is the author of the best-selling book "Fast Food Nation", which exposed many of the unhealthy conditions in America's slaughterhouses. Schlosser says the problem with food supplies today is that they're controlled by a small number of large, centralized corporate interests.
