Samenvatting
An investigative journalist takes you inside the corporate meat industry&;a shocking, in-depth report every American should read.
How much do you know 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 learn how the food industry got to where it is today, and how companies like Tyson have escaped the scrutiny they deserve. You&;ll discover how these companies are able to raise meat prices for consumers while 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 recent failed attempt to pass reforms.
Important, timely, and explosive, The Meat Racket is an unvarnished portrait of the food industry that now dominates America&;s heartland.
