The secret takeover of America’s food business. By Christopher Leonard
THE MEAT RACKET is truly the first-ever account of how a handful of firms have seized our nation’s meat supply and created a system that puts farmers on the edge of bankruptcy, hikes up Americans’ grocery bills, and places the greatest capitalist country in the world under an oligarchy controlling much of the food we eat. We know it takes big companies to bring us meat; what Leonard shows is how this system is rigged against all of us. If you haven’t read it yet, we highly recommend that you do!
