Product Description
Howard Lyman’s testimony on The Oprah Winfrey Show exposed the deadly impact of the livestock industry on our well-being. It not only led to Oprah’s declaration that she’d never eat a burger again, it sent shock waves through a concerned and vulnerable broadcast.
A fourth-generation Montana rancher, Lyman investigated the use of chemicals in agriculture after developing a spinal tumor that near paralyzed him. Now a vegetarian, he blasts through the propaganda of beef and dairy interests — and the government agencies that protect them — to expose an animal-based diet as the primary cause of cancer, heart disease, and obesity in this people. He warns that the livestock industry is repeating the mistakes that led to Mad Cow disease in England even as simultaneously causing serious hurt to the environment.
Believable, undemanding, and full of the down-home excellent humor and optimism of a son of the soil, Mad Cowboy is both an inspirational tale of private transformation and a convincing call to action for a plant-based diet — for the excellent of the earth and the health of us all.

Instead of the “insider’s analysis” of the meat industry I was expecting, this book turned out to be a pretty didactic and unconvincing diatribe on the health benefits of vegetarianism.

One of the Authors stated premises about “Flesh consumption (is) meat kills.” Mr. Merzer states this without qualification, though he does make mention of the use of toxic substances in the feed. His premise is fallacious and doesn’t take into consideration the anthropological and historical evidence that suggest that the diseases mentioned in his book are a modern phenomenon. Meat consumption has be apart of human nutritional history since Noah and his three sons, that is to say thousands of years. Yet through the annals of medical history the same can’t be said of coronary disease or cancer. What are we to make of this? There is a historical correlation that can be make between the rise of industrial farming and the modern epidemic of heart dis-ease and cancer. And of course, there is exercise, food part and a number of other things that factor into our health. For me Vegetarianism is about taking into account the ethical implication of what it means to kill, (or in most americans case hiring a hit man), a species you share the earth with, not scaring someone into the arc of vegetarianism with half-truths.

I am a new vegetarian and someone told me I should read this book. It is a quick read and I may possibly not judge the in rank. I am concerned that still in today’s america we have this going on. I do not know how anyone that reads this book would ever eat meat again. I became a vegetarian for health reasons and after reading this book I know that I have made the aptly choice. For anyone who want to stop eating meat I urge this book. If I can do it anyone can. I live in Montana and my spouse is a hunter. By giving up my coffee problem I realized having that wired up feeling all day clouded my concentration. Did you know one cup of joe raises your blood pressure by 14%! Opportunely for me I was able to find a wonderful tasting substitution made from soyabeans. You brew like coffee and it even helps lower my cholesterol. I found it online at http://www.S o y c o f f e e.c o m. Gaining this understanding will effect every go you make from this top on and will result in with it the necessity to share it.

even as i was extemely nervous to read this book, i found out that in two chapters i was reading a dummies guide to environmentalism/vegetarianism. i have been vegetarian for many years and vegan for many as well. i picked this book up thought it might have a small more insight on the gentleman writing the book. it did not. in fact i judge there were only two chapters devoted to why he did what he did. it seemed like more of an overview than an expose. the writing seemed a small sophmoric and generic. if you have ever read a book about apt a vegetarian or vegan, then you have already read this book. i reckon what bothered me most, was that he devoted nearly an entire chapter to “the zone diet.” it felt a small preachy at the end and a small rushed. i guess it doesn’t help that i don’t appreciate oprah’s work either.
