Raw Deal is insightful and balances optimism with reality very well. It is an urgent call for change in the meat industry - and for how we handle food in general - but it is not completely despairing. Sorvino offers a number of possible solutions to the giant problems she points out. She also very clearly knows her shit and put a lot of time, effort, and research into this.

The only reason I'm not giving it five stars is because I don't really know enough about corporate law and how economics work for big companies well enough to comment on her understandings of those things. Those parts were dense and difficult to read if you're not already well-versed in those areas.
