Business Wars - Big Beef: The War on Your Wallet | Something Rotten | 2

A lot has changed in the eight years since the ranchers first sued Big Beef. IBP was acquired by Tyson Foods, a behemoth with even more ability to withstand a lawsuit.

Founded as a family-owned business in the 1950s, JBS is now run by the billionaire Batista brothers, Joesley and Wesley. And they have an appetite for growth… by any means necessary.If you’d like to learn more about the corporate meat industry, listen to the audiobook version of “The Meat Racket” by Christopher Leonard, or “Raw Deal” by Chloe Sorvino, available now on Audible.Audible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Business Wars ad-free right now.
