 One Book One Bakersfield is a community-wide reading group designed to get people reading and talking about the themes of a specific book. The 2008 selection is Robert Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation and Chew On This. For a listing of all the events, go to www.1b1b.com.
Tonight at Russo's Marketplace we present a discussion lead by Dr. Aaron Hegde, CSUB Economics professor on "Fast Food Economics." Dr. Hegde is also Director of the CSUB's Environmental Resource Management Program.
This promises to be an enlightening and interesting evening for both fans of the book and consumers alike.
