Inside the Perdue Dynasty: The Hidden Cruelty Behind America’s Chicken Empire

Описание: For decades, one name has defined American chicken: Perdue.

Many remember Frank Perdue, the ""funny-looking"" man who personally appeared in his own commercials, promising America: ""It takes a tough man to make a tender chicken."" That promise, and his revolutionary marketing, turned a small family farm into an $8 billion agribusiness empire.

But what if that ""toughness"" wasn't just a marketing slogan? What if it was the blueprint for a brutal system of control?

This investigation goes behind the folksy ads to uncover the 100-year, three-generation story of the Perdue dynasty. We reveal the truth about the ""tournament system"" that critics call a ""meat racket,"" allegedly trapping thousands of American farmers in a cycle of debt and fear. We expose the hidden labor practices, from aggressive union-busting to the exploitation of immigrant workers, culminating in a recent child labor scandal.

Finally, we uncover the shocking animal welfare allegations that the company's ""Humanely Raised"" labels were designed to hide. This is the story Frank Perdue never told you—the true price of cheap chicken.
