Glorious Beef: The Lafrieda Family and the Evolution of the American Meat Indust

Description: Glorious Beef by Cecilia Molinari, Pat Lafrieda, Brian Hutchison An insightful and engaging insiders look at the real story of the meat industry, from master butcher Pat LaFrieda.It all began when Pat LaFriedas great-grandfather Anthony LaFrieda decided to pack up and move his family from Italy to New York in search of a better life, setting up the familys first retail butcher shop in 1922 in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Almost one hundred years later, Pat LaFrieda, a fourth-generation butcher and third-generation meat purveyor, is at the helm of a family-run business that has been providing meat to customers for decades, through wars, the Great Depression, the tumultuous years when New York City was dubbed Fear City, the fall of the Twin Towers, unprecedented hurricanes, and even a pandemic.Most people dont know the amount of time, commitment, and extenuating work that goes into bringing them the piece of meat on their plate. What are the real implications of grass-fed beef on climate change? What is involved in humanely processing animals at harvesting facilities? Why is grading, labeling, and traceability essential for the consumer? And whats the beef with eating meat?There are two sides to every story; however, in the beef industrys case, only one side seems to get most of the airtime. In Glorious Beef, LaFrieda shares his familys legacy and pulls back the curtain to reveal a behind-the-scenes view of each stage of the process involved in bringing beef from pasture to plate and the truths behind the industrys story of survival and constant evolution.Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook.
