GREG KINNEAR MARKETS FAST FOOD

The next time you take a bite out of that nice juicy fast food hamburger consider what went into it. That’s the story of Fast Food Nation based on the popular best seller by Eric Schlosser. Greg Kinnear stars as Don Henderson a marketing executive of the popular food chain Mickey’s Burgers who discovers the Big One meal might be tainted meat. Greg talks about the serious issues that are brought up in the film.

Directed by Richard Linklater Fast Food Nation opens Friday with an eclectic cast including Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette, Bobby Cannavale, and Wilmer Valderrama.

“You know illegal aliens to dangerous work place conditions to contaminated food issues to obesity and to who’s culpable. There’s pointing to the number one obesity rate in the world and there’s a lot of places to point the finger. I don’t think this story has a target. I don’t think we set out to say these are the bad guys and these are the good guys. I think it’s much smarter than that and it ultimately will let the viewer determine for themselves how they feel about kind of a relevant social issue.”
