No More Bull! The Mad Cowboy Targets America's Worst Enemy: Our Diet

In 1996, when Howard Lyman warned America onThe Oprah Winfrey Showthat 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 inNo More Bull!that the problem will only grow more deadly until our government deals with it seriously.InMad 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. InNo 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 ofNo More Bull!is that we can all do better for ourselves and the planet.

Howard F. Lyman is president of the International Vegetarian Union. He lives in Alexandria, Virginia.
