Americans are being lured into addiction. And what we're
hooked on isn't necessarily illegal or even hard to come by.
Prescription medications are making us high. Fast food is
making us fat. The Internet keeps us constantly distracted
with everything from gambling and porn to compulsive social
networking. Television bombards us with glamorized violence.
From billboards, to online pop ups, to commercials. . .
we're seduced into buying more stuff we don't need while we
drown in growing debt. Massive profits fill the pockets of a handful of 'pushers'
at the expense of everyone else. Corporations, government,
and the media are creating the illusion that the more we
have, the better we are, and so we crave whatever they're
selling and become addicted to their products in the
process. Americans are being seduced into self-destructive
behavior on a mass scale. It's time to take our power back. In her trademark no-holds-barred style, Jane Velez-Mitchell
asks, 'Do you really want to be a slave, existing just to
make someone else rich and powerful?' If the answer is no,
then read this book. Addict Nation is our blueprint
for change, but first we must see what is really going on.
This in an intervention.
