Praise for Morgan Spurlock: ‘Valid, entertaining and funny as hell’ – Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation
A tongue-in-cheek – and burger in hand – look at the legal, financial and physical costs of our hunger for fast food, by the funniest and most incisive new voice since Michael Moore.

In the ground-breaking and hilarious Don’t East This Book, Morgan Spurlock lays bare the devastating facts for all to see.
