‘Raw Deal’ takes a hard look at the state of the American meat industry

NPR Fresh Air | Dave Davies interviews journalist and Forbes staff writer, Chloe Sorvino who says meatpacking workers today still suffer from low pay and poor working conditions, and the industry pollutes the environment, contributes to climate change, and leaves the meat supply chain vulnerable to major disruptions. In her new book “Raw Deal: Hidden Corruption, Corporate Greed, And The Fight For The Future Of Meat,” she also explores meat substitutes that are gaining a following and considers whether they have the potential to change the industry and slow global warming.
