Fast Food Nation

by

Eric Schlosser

A rancher whom Schlosser befriends on Colorado’s Front Range, Hank is a man Schlosser admires—committed to the land and to his job, fighting as he is against the encroachment of housing developments near his ranching property. But Schlosser is anguished to report later in the book that Hank has committed suicide, perhaps in part because of his inability to make a living for his family as an independent rancher.
