Tom Philpott

The U.S. meat industry offers some of the biggest bargains you can find: stuff like "boneless skinless chicken breasts" for just two bucks a pound; or a "Crispy Chicken Sandwich" for a dollar.

But when you dig beneath the marketing jargon and the coupon fliers, you start to see that all that cheap bird flesh has a much heftier price tag than meets the naked eye. In all my writing about the meat industry, the main theme is the destructive power of consolidation in a market geared to cheapness. If you have three or four big players competing not to see who can deliver the highest-quality product, but rather the cheapest product, you're inviting all manner of abuses.
