About The Book

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.
