A shocking and unputdownable exposé of the United States meat industry and the corruption driving it that “is required reading for anyone who eats” (Christopher Leonard, New York Times bestselling author).

Years of consolidation, price-fixing, and power grabs by elite industry insiders have harmed consumers and caused environmental destruction. And while that’s hurting us, it’s 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, the limitations of local movements challenging the status quo, and the false promise of lab-grown meat.

This book is a fun read for the holidays if you are also looking for some food for thought. It provides plenty of relatable examples, which can be good party conversation topics.

The author provides an insightful history of the US meat industry (chicken, port, beef), its implication on market control, workers' right, climate change, and consumer choices. It's well structured and well articulated. It helps me think of how my day-to-day decisions can impact my own life and a larger community.

If you are interested in similar insight analysis for other parts of the food industry and how they impact our daily lives, check out "The Secret Life of Groceries: The Dark Miracle of the American Supermarket" by Benjamin Lorr (2020, and currently free with the Audible membership), "Ingredients: The Strange Chemistry of What We Put in Us and on Us" by George Zaidan (2020), and "Hooked: Food, Free Will, and How the Food Giants Exploit Our Addictions" by Michael Moss (2021).
