With Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris expected to call for action against "corporate price gouging in the food and grocery industries," the meat industry said on Thursday that it is not to blame for high prices. "Americans are seeing inflation in every part of their livelihoods — rent, gas, automobiles, furniture — not just in the meat case," said the National Chicken Council, speaking for the broiler chicken industry.
