Jun 12, Adriana rated it really liked it Shelves: justread. I have to say that this book is probably the most honest look at what it means to be vegan versus vegetarian I have read. The book was written by Howard Lyman a former cattle rancher who turned Vegan. Lyman wanted to create an open dialogue between vegans, vegetarians, and meat eaters to reconsider what the food they eat and the need of various supplements to make-up for the lack of some food they do not eat. His main points were to examine both the healthy and unhealthy aspects of all three gro I have to say that this book is probably the most honest look at what it means to be vegan versus vegetarian I have read. His main points were to examine both the healthy and unhealthy aspects of all three group's diets, so readers can make their own informed choices about how they wish to proceed with their diets. As an omnivore, it was a relief to finally read a book that did not constantly preach or try to guilt trip anyone for eating meat. Lyman even does something I have rarely seen in the other vegetarian and vegan books I have read: he discusses the cons of being vegetarian and vegan. He is explicit about what is missing in terms of proper nutrition and how vitamins are not always the best solution. Lyman offers some solutions and asks each of to join in carrying them or create better alternatives and offer them to everyone to create a better sustainable food ecosystem. Jun 30, Dee rated it really liked it. This follow up book updates the current corporate control over animal protein food supply -- even the criminalization of farmers owning their own seeds. Lyman explains, in clear, easy-to-understand terms, why meat isn't really food and de-myths many "common wisdoms" that are dangerously unhealthy for humans. The book also contains over vegan recipes -- several of which I've made and I hate cooking Author Howard Lyman's first book, The Mad Cowboy, is what moved me from vegetarian to vegan. The book also contains over vegan recipes -- several of which I've made and I hate cooking and found delicious! May 19, Ted rated it really liked it. Truly amazing how the big agriculture industry completely controls our food chain. The argument that resonates with me is that there is no profit in fresh and , as they quickly rot The fact that eating a vegan diet doesn't require you to buy a 60 day plan, or a bunch of supplements. Nor does it come with a warning label of numerous scary side effects. The natural outcome is to roll back obesity, and chronic health issues. Good Read. Nov 17, Kurt Thonnings rated it it was amazing. Must read for all. Feb 17, Whitney Johnson rated it it was ok. This book was okay. Didn't really learn anything new except the first part about Mad Cow disease. Was disappointed when I saw that the majority of the book is recipes as I was looking for a good, new argument about . Not a good read for the already devoted, but good for those toying with the idea. I was really put off by the condescension in the book. When speaking "to his meat-eating friends" he couldn't be more off-putting and superior i. I know I can always be doing more. I don't need someone to tell me. I need someone to present a scientific argument that I can form my own opinions from. All in all, it's an okay read but I really don't like be barked at as if I'm unintelligent. It feels as No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet someone has knocked on my door asking if I want to learn about their religion, and then they proceed to come in and sit down on my couch and yell at me because I'm going to hell.

But animal-based diets put the land, the water, the air, a society's collective health, and even our collective pharmaceutical resources at risk. That's my business. That's everyone's business. If so, you've got to factor in the effect your diet has on the world around you. It's nice if you recycle your plastic bottles, but in my book, there's no such thing as an environmentalist who, in his or h "You put your health at risk - that's your business.

If we truly believe what we say about the damage to our collective health and our shared environment that results from the animal- based diet, then we have a positive duty to make our case in as dramatic as fashion as possible. Apr 09, Damien rated it liked it. I really liked the written text; that is, the first 8 chapters 98 pages. Chapter 9 was pages of recipes, most of which seemed odd, unappetizing, or disproportionate as far as ingredients went. The last part was especially true with some of the recipes I tried- they were basically good, but with some major No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet could have been so much better. But I understand that these were intended with the maximum health benefits in mind, so maybe in about 10 years I will appreciate them more.

Each issue the VIP birds endeavor to soar to the highest literary peak to peck out the most unique, informative, and accomplished book that contributes to vegetarian enlightenment. This month we feature a book that exposes the government's inability to cope with the threat of Mad Cow disease. No More Bull! When he appeared on 's show No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet Aprilhe described unimaginable practices prevalent in factory farming. If only one of them has Mad Cow disease, it has the potential to affect thousands. These animals were being ground up and fed to other cows. In disgust, Oprah exclaimed, "That stops me cold from eating another burger. At that time Lyman warned that the United States would face a mad cow epidemic unless the meat industry discontinued dangerous feed practices and agreed to test cows for the disease. Lyman and Winfrey were vindicated after a four-year courtroom battle. Lyman's efforts to bring the issue before the public in his book Mad Cowboy led to the regulation that cows could not be ground up and fed back to other cows but did not prevent ground up cows from being fed to chickens and pigs. Seven years after Lyman's Mad Cow announcement on Oprah's show the first cow harboring the disease was discovered in Yakima, Washington. The USDA reaction to the discovery was to reassure the public that the meat supply was safe. The fewer cows tested, the fewer cases of BSE were uncovered in a virtual "don't look, don't find" policy. Creekstone Farms, a company that markets Black Angus beef free of hormones and antibiotics and no animal products in their feed, was denied permission to check each cow for BSE. According to Lyman, the only way to avoid a health catastrophe is to institute two measures: Ban the feeding of animal proteins to animals. Test every cow to be slaughtered. In a chapter labeled "Alzheifer's Disease," the author makes the connection between diet and Alzheimer's disease. Lyman does not accept the view that because people are living longer, more people are developing dementia. In the coming decades, science will probably be able to ascribe a cause to Alzheimer's with the same certainty that it can now ascribe to heart disease. And I firmly believe that it will be the exact same cause: meat. Other research reveals that people eating diets rich in and vegetables reduce their risk of developing Alzheimer's disease. In the chapter "Message for My Meat-Eating Friends," Lyman points out that vegetarians live longer "because we do not consume the filthy, fatty disease-ridden, decaying flesh of animals. And equates this practice to exposing them to second hand smoke or a mother smoking while she is pregnant. Like so many vegetarian activists, Lyman talks about the harm factory farming is wreaking on the environment in polluting both air and water. Some of the blame is leveled at the Republican Party that has been in opposition to "excessive government regulation. We're simply healthier, and a hell of a lot better for the environment around us. Many vegetarians eat a No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet diet No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet with refined sugar, white flour, salt, and oil. He tells vegetarians who are still eating dairy products that they are consuming "liquid meat. Lyman handily disposes of two "dumb myths" prevalent in our society: You need to eat meat to get enough protein You need to consume dairy to get enough calcium to protect your bones. To counter the myths, he explains that protein deficiency does not exist in the US. He cites the Chinese, who do not eat dairy products, as an example of a large population with a low incidence of osteoporosis and bone fractures. For those who want to eat a healthy diet, he offers "Seven Simple Rules" that reinforce what health authorities have been saying for years. Eat at least ten servings of fresh fruits and vegetables per day. Eat ample amounts of whole and , and modest amounts No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet nuts and seeds. Eat a healthy complement of raw foods. Minimize, or better yet, totally eliminate animal No More Bull!: The Mad Cowboy Targets Americas Worst Enemy: Our Diet. Minimize your intake of salt, sugar, oil, refined flour, and junk foods. Supplement your diet with Vitamin B Pay attention to Omega To assist people in following a vegetarian path, Lyman devotes more than half of the book to over recipes from notable chefs, cookbook authors, nutritionists, restaurants, and prominent vegetarians. Many of the recipes were originals created by his co-author's wife, Joanna Samorow-Merzer. Categories covered include appetizers, beverages, breads, breakfast dishes, entrees, desserts, grains, pasta, salads and salad dressings, sauces, side dishes, soups, spreads, stews, and dishes. To guide new vegetarians, he provides a helpful Two-Week Meal Plan in a concise format. The book concludes with brief biographies of the recipe contributors, endnotes, and a resource list that includes books, DVD's, and websites. Anyone who has never heard Howard Lyman speak is missing one of the best vegan speakers on the circuit. Reading No More Bull is almost as good hearing him in person. Lyman is fortunate to have co-author Glen Merzer assisting him in presenting the prose with the same energy and passion he displays in a speaking engagement. The shocking facts, the folksy humor, and the plain talk are all here. Howard Lyman was right. And he still is right. He is to be commended for his persistence in informing the American public of this potential Mad Cow health catastrophe. Now it's time for all of America to start listening to the Mad Cowboy.
