Accumulation Quote by Adam Nicolson
“Eric Schlosser's book on the economy and strategies of the fast-food business should be read by anyone who likes to take their children to fast-food restaurants. I shall certainly never do that again. He employs a long, cold burn, a quiet and impassioned accumulation of detail, with calm, wit and clarity. (...) Fast Food Nation is witness to the rigour and seriousness of the best American journalism, readable, reliable and extremely carefully done.”

![“I actually didn't read the book [Fast Food Nation]. I wasn't aware of it. But when I read the script, I thought "Wow." It became a project that was just so exciting to be a part of.

![“Doing this movie [Fast Food Nation] made me realize that our bodies are digesting things that it's not meant to digest. It's pretty bad for you. The cast is [now] very, very aware of where we get our food and what we put in our bodies.” quote by Wilmer Valderrama](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/984/wilmer-valderrama-12222_body_doing-this-movie-fast-food-nation-made-m_1104322.jpg)
![“t's [King James Bible] subject is majesty, not tyranny, and it's political purpose was unifying and enfolding, to elide the kingliness of God with the godliness of kings, to make royal power and divine glory into one invisible garment which could be wrapped around the nation as a whole.” quote by Adam Nicolson](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6dd/adam-nicolson-40537_bible_t-s-king-james-bible-subject-is-majesty_1574720.jpg)
