Description

An investigative journalist takes you inside the corporate meat industry—a shocking, in-depth report each American will have to read.

How much are you aware about the meat on your dinner plate? Journalist Christopher Leonard spent more than a decade covering the country’s biggest meat companies, including four years as the national agribusiness reporter for the Associated Press. Now he delivers the first comprehensive look inside the industrial meat system, exposing how a handful of companies executed an audacious corporate takeover of the nation’s meat supply.

Leonard’s revealing account shines a light on the inner workings of Tyson Foods, a pioneer of the industrial system that dominates the market. You’ll find out how the food industry got to where it’s these days, and how companies like Tyson have escaped the scrutiny they deserve. You’ll discover how these companies may be able to raise meat prices for consumers at the same time as pushing down the price they pay to farmers. And you’ll even see how big business and politics have derailed efforts to change the system, from a years-long legal fight in Iowa to the Obama administration’s up to date failed attempt to pass reforms.

Important, timely, and explosive, The Meat Racket is an unvarnished portrait of the food industry that now dominates The us’s heartland.
