KANSAS CITY, Mo. –  In this final episode, social media is the elephant in the room and on the side of the consumer.

Bob Langert, a former vice president over sustainability initiatives at McDonald’s and author of “The Battle to do Good: Inside McDonald’s Sustainability Journey,” discusses the impact of social media on Corporate America’s ability to define its responsibilities to society. And, he shares some “hard-knock nuggets” of advice for businesses trying to navigate the disruption caused by social media.

Next week, Ryan McCarthy, digital media associate editor, sits down with MEAT+POULTRY Features Editor, Bob Sims who visited Prestage Foods of Iowa on assignment.

Prestage Foods of Iowa began hog slaughter under USDA inspection in March of this year. The 700,000-sq.-ft. facility houses some of the most advanced pork processing technology in the industry. MEAT+POULTRY got a first look inside the plant. We hope you’ll listen in to Ryan and Bob’s conversation to learn more about this awesome facility.
