The Meat Racket

This detailed history and exposé of America's factory farming system will make listeners think about what they eat in a new way. Narrator John Pruden delivers a clean narration of a complex subject loaded with passion. His professional detachment lends authority without adding bias, even when delivering the eulogizing of the hero/villain of the piece, Don Tyson, by his friend Bill Clinton. Further, Pruden's authoritative voice imparts gravitas, and his pacing matches Leonard's writing style. Those who listen to this riveting account will ask themselves whether the ways our food is acquired, paid for, and politicized may be out of whack. M.C. © AudioFile 2014, Portland, Maine
