Howard F. Lyman has brought
the issue of the dangers of eating beef to light like never before. A
former cattle rancher-turned-vegetarian and food safety activist,
in 1996, Lyman revealed, to a national television audience, how
the cattle industry potentially exposed Americans to Mad
Cow Disease by feeding cows the remains of live animals -
including other cows. As a result of his remarks, Lyman was named
a co-defendant with Oprah Winfrey in the infamous "veggie
libel" case brought by Texas ranchers in Amarillo.
In this shocking and powerful book, Lyman uncovers the
dangerous and potentially deadly practices of the cattle and
dairy industry. MAD COWBOY is a passionate manifesto
for change from an industry insider whose firsthand experiences
will alter the way you think about your food, and the people
who produce it, forever. "Sure, I used to enjoy my steaks
as much as the next guy," writes Lyman. "But if you
knew what I know about what goes into them and what they can
do to you, you'd probably be a vegetarian like me." |
