negatively it shocked me that these people ever cooperated with them.
It amazes me how they can't see that they are doing something extremely
wrong. The author points out that he has been criticized by the fast food

He challenged them if they can find any dicrepancies that he would gladly

than chemical flavoring and coloring. Tells why natural coloring and flavoring

MAD
COWBOY Plain Truth from the Cowboy Who Won't Eat Meat by
Howard F Lyman
This book is an excellent introduction to the negative effects the production
and eating of beef has on people that eat it. This very popular book gets
excellent reviews from its readers. Howard Lyman's testimony on The Oprah
Winfrey Show revealed 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
public. Persuasive, straightforward, and full of the down-home good humor
and optimism of a son of the soil, Mad Cowboy is both an inspirational
story of personal transformation and a convincing call to action for a
plant-based diet—for the good of the planet and the health of us
