Fascinating by Dr Nic Williams

I think this was the most interesting 30 minutes of my day/week.

Re: Fascinating by Roman Heinrich

Yea, right! Really a fun talk! What is the name of the book Dan talks about on 28:30 min.?

Re: Fascinating by Roman Heinrich

Figured the name out, it's "Fast Food Nation".

Re: Fascinating by Dan Grigsby

Roman: Glad you enjoyed the talk! The book was probably "Reefer Madness." Same author as "Fast Food Nation."
