Cogs in the Great Machine

The meat packing industry has become one of the most important suppliers of fast food chains. The meat packing industry is a very powerful industry. However, on many occasions different meat packing companies have lied and broke the law in order to protect themselves and receive a larger profit. For instance, ConAgra is the largest food service supplier in North America and was making millions, if not billions, of dollars every year. When they became in debt and was losing money they began breaking laws to save money. They misweighed chickens purposely in order to pay less for them, fixed the prices of catfish nationwide for their own benefit, was involved in wire fraud and more. Unfortunately, these sort of lies are more common than most may think. However, they still had to go to court and still pay money for their lies which was what they were trying to do avoid all along. In business, there are ups and downs, the company just needs to work with what they have and should try to avoid breaking the law.
