They have done it a few too many time for my liking. They either need to have it or not, but they can't really do both. And Fast Food Nation in interesting, but the author blows his credibility in the first chapters talking about Disney (especially DL) in the 1950's and uses many wrong points. The book may be interesting, but it isn't very reliable.
