Food with Mark Bittman
Exposing the Toxic Underbelly of Tyson Foods
Reporter Alice Driver talks with Mark and Kate about her work with Arkansas-based Tyson employees – many of whom are immigrants and refugees – for her book, Life and Death of the American Worker. She explains why the number of injuries at the company is higher than reported; how employees feel gaslit; why support for meatpacking companies – and, by default, their cruel practices – is bipartisan; and the growing role of children in the industry.
