You may remember investigative journalist Eric Schlosser as the guy who ruined fast food for you, at least for a time. His book Fast Food Nation was a best-selling exposé of the American food industry, and thanks to him, we all know too well how the chicken nuggets are made.
Well, now heâs back to scare the heck out of us about nuclear safety. And he brought that conversation to Houston on Tuesday.
In his new book Command and Control: Nuclear Weapons, the Damascus Accident, and the Illusion of Safety, Schlosser details a number of near misses â accidents and oversights â that could have resulted in a nuclear weapon detonating on U-S soil or falling into the wrong hands.
Before Schlosser addressed the Houston-based civic speaker organization The Progressive Forum, he sat down with Houston Mattersâ Michael Hagerty.
