At the core of Fast Food Nation is Don Anderson, the Marketing Director for the hamburger chain Mickey's, who helped develop the "Big One," its most popular menu item. When he learns that independent research has discovered the considerable presence of fecal matter in the meat, he travels to Cody, Colorado to verify if the local slaughterhouse, the main supplier for Mickey's, is guilty of sloppy production techniques.
Don's tour of the processing plant shows him only the pristine work areas and most efficient procedures, but those with previous connections to the company alert him of all the horrors that were kept secret from him. Don slowly comes to the realization that the simple hamburger sold by Mickey's and everywhere else may not be as healthy as the public is led to believe it is.
This is a drama based on fact, I suppose we already knew what is revealed in the movie, we just choose not to think about it. The killing Floor section at the end made me think of why I became a vegetarian, although I'm not one now. Meat always did, and always will mean murder.
This is a movie you should watch, but probably won't! Here is the trailer..
