fufuakaspeechless scribbled: Junk is a great look at current American society. People are waging war on food; laws are being passed to ban junk food in schools all around the country. I happen to be a victim of said banning. In Junk, unhealthy foods are banned everywhere. Junk foods are equivalent to drugs: if you get caught with it you get arrested. Junk food becomes a hot item on the streets. There are groups in support of legalizing junk, as well as groups who are for the junk laws. This book is very good. It gives insight to where this "war on obesity" can lead if we aren't careful. Is it really necessary to ban these foods from the public? There are plenty of people who aren't overweight, and yet they are being punished by these laws. At some point personal responsibility has to be taken into consideration. Junk is a great satire of current American society, and a great warning against taking it too far.
