| No More Bull! : The Mad Cowboy Targets America's Worst Enemy: Our Diet | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
In 1996, when Howard Lyman warned America on The Oprah Winfrey Show that Mad Cow Disease was coming to America, offended cattlemen sued him and Oprah both. Not only were Lyman and Oprah vindicated in court, but events have proved many of Lyman's predictions absolutely right. Mad Cow Disease has come to America, and Lyman argues persuasively in No More Bull! that the problem will only grow more deadly until our government deals with it seriously.
In Mad Cowboy, Lyman, a fourth-generation Montana rancher turned vegetarian then vegan, told the story of his personal transformation after a spinal tumor, which he believes was caused by agricultural chemicals, nearly left him paralyzed. In No More Bull!, Lyman uses his humor, compassion, firsthand experience in agriculture, and command of the facts of health to argue that we might all profit by transforming our diets. He makes a powerful case that Alzheimer's is yet another disease linked to eating meat. And he explains that the steak at the heart of your dinner plate not only may destroy your own heart but actually offers no more nutritional value than a doughnut! If you've been confused by the competing claims of the Atkins Diet, the South Beach Diet, and other fad diets, No More Bull! is the book that will set you straight. Its pure, unvarnished truth is told with down-home common sense. Lyman's got a message for meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans -- and the message of No More Bull! is that we can all do better for ourselves and the planet. |

I really enjoyed this book. The author uses a wonderful combo of humor and hard facts. I acutually enjoyed this book more than "mad cowboy" as this has recipes in the second half of the book and they sound delicious (I haven't acutally made anything yet...but am planning to soon). I let my mom borrow this one and she went out and bought it for herself afterwards.

Good stuff. The standard American diet is killing us, and this book explains how and why in an entertaining way.

I originally bought this off a used-book cart at a neighborhood library, thinking it was going to be folklore or tall tales from the plains states. After my initial chagrin at having not obtained information that could easily be tied to Rober Welsch's TOUCHING THE FIRE, etc., I ploughed through MAD COWBOY. What a read! Who knew about the tapdance governmental entities executed to keep "the public" from knowing about Mad Cow Disease? If only half of what is printed here is accurate, we still should think seriously about re-engineering our eating habits! I sent copies to three people in my family, including a granddaughter who has been a vegetarian for over two years. The line about our farming practices making cows into bovine cannibals will be with me forever, I think!
