Author talks fries, farming, immigration
Eric Schlosser is an out-and-proud carnivore. His favorite meal: cheeseburger, French fries and a chocolate shake. But that doesn't mean the "Fast Food Nation" author goes easy on the burger-and-fries industry. If you know anything about him or his New York Times bestseller, you know he's brought watchdog journalism to fast food like how Upton Sinclair brought muckraking to the meatpacking industry. As part of One Book, One Bakersfield...One Kern, Schlosser will be talking about his book, which was chosen as One Book's 10th community read, Thursday night and Friday morning. I got a chance to talk to Schlosser yesterday. Read the interview and get the details now on his visit on Bakersfield.com or read tomorrow's Californian. — Emily Hagedorn, health reporter
