Cannes Film Festival 2006 - Fast Food Nation

See the dark side of super-sizing with Fast Food Nation, based on the book of the same name by Eric Schlosser. It is screening today in competition at the Cannes Film Festival.

This revealing film about the fast-food industry stars Wilmer Valderrama of That '70s Show fame, Ethan Hawke, Patricia Arquette and Greg Kinnear. It's enough to make you want to go on the French diet.
