Co-screenwriter/Material based on book by/Executive Producer - Fast Food Nation

Eric Schlosser tried his hand at several professions (playwright, novelist and screenwriter) before finally turning to non-fiction in his early thirties.

Schlosser's first published article—an account of his week on duty with the New York Police Department Bomb Squad—appeared in the Atlantic Monthly in 1993. Other assignments soon followed. His two-part series, "Reefer Madness" and "Marijuana and the Law" (Atlantic Monthly, August and September, 1994), won a National Magazine Award for reporting, and his article, "In the Strawberry Fields" (Atlantic Monthly, November 1995), received a Sidney Hillman Foundation award. Schlosser has been a correspondent for the Atlantic since 1996, and has also written for the New Yorker, the New York Times, The Nation, and Vanity Fair.

In 1998 Schlosser wrote an investigative piece on the fast food industry for Rolling Stone. What began as a two-part article for the magazine turned into a bestselling book: Fast Food Nation: The Dark Side of the All American Meal (2001). Fast Food Nation was on the New York Times bestsellers list for more than two years, as well as on bestseller lists in Canada, Great Britain and Japan. It has been translated into more than twenty languages.

Schlosser's second New York Times bestseller, Reefer Madness: Sex, Drugs, and Cheap Labor in the American Black Market (2003), was inspired by his Atlantic Monthly research on pornography, illegal immigration and the war on drugs.

In the fall of 2003, his first play, "Americans," was produced at the Arcola Theater in London.

His most recent book, Chew on This: Everything You Don't Want to Know about Fast Food, co-written with Charles Wilson, shares with young readers the fascinating and sometimes frightening truth about what lurks behind those sesame buns.

He is currently working on a book about the American prison system.
