Where can I find statistics on the hazards of eating fast food?

Question

For example: How much fecal matter is on the trays? 
How often foreign objects are found in the food?
What are some of those foreign objects?
What happens in other places like the slaugter houses or the test labs for fast food companies?
And Overall hazardous statistics for the fast food industry?
I'm reasearching the hazardous effects of fast food on humans.

I know of a few books, but I don't have so much time on my hands so websites would be wonderful...but I want any information that you have.

I would go see "Fast Food Nation" or, better yet, read the book if you can squeeze the time in. They cover many of the issues you're asking about. It's a quick read and once you start, you can't put it down OR eat fast food again. IMO, the book is better than the movie.

Here's a link that might be helpful. It discusses not only the health issues but how fast food impacts immigration, animal welfare, etc.:

Also, try googling "US meatpacking information" and you might find some answers there.

Good luck!
