Book Description

Publisher's Summary

On the production line in American packinghouses, there is one cardinal
rule: the chain never slows. Under pressure to increase supply, the
supervisors of meat-processing plants have routinely accelerated the
pace of conveyors, leading to inhumane conditions, increased accidents,
and food of questionable and often dangerous quality.

In The Chain, acclaimed journalist Ted Genoways uses the story of Hormel
Foods and its most famous product, Spam, to probe the state of the meatpacking
industry. Interviewing scores of line workers, union leaders, hog farmers,
and local politicians and activists, Genoways reveals an industry pushed
to its breaking point. Along the way, he exposes alarming new trends:
sick or permanently disabled workers, abused animals, water and soil
pollution, and mounting conflict between small towns and immigrant labor.




What the Critics Say

"An exhaustive examination of this industry. . . . [Listeners] curious
about meatpacking and agriculture as well as the social, economic, and
environmental impacts of the food industry will find Genoways's nonfiction
debut a valuable and stimulating read." (Library Journal )
