Book description
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.
"Reading No More Bull is an amazing
experience. It is a wonder how a book can be such a pleasure to read,
so entertaining and enjoyable, and yet carry such a profoundly
important message. If you read this book, several things will happen.
There will be more health in your life. There will be more joy in your
life. And you will be playing a part in the greater healing our
troubled world so greatly needs."
