Raw Deal

A shocking and unputdownable expos of the United States meat industry and the growing disappointment of alternative meat producers that is required reading for anyone who eats (Christopher Leonard, New York Timesbestselling author). Well before COVID-19 swept across the United States and the chairman of Tyson Foods infamously declared that the food supply chain was dangerously vulnerable, Americas meat industry was reaching a breaking point. Years of consolidation, price-fixing, and power grabs by elite industry insiders have harmed consumers and caused environmental destruction. And while thats hurting us, its also making others rich. Now, financial journalist Chloe Sorvino presents a deeply informed and eye-opening (Publishers Weekly) look at the meat industry and its future as its fundamental weaknesses are laid bare for all to see. With unprecedented access and groundbreaking research, Raw Deal investigates corporate greed, how climate change will upend our food production, and the limitations of local movements challenging the status quo.
