Have you read MAD COWBOY by Howard Lyman?
I just saw it was on Amazon for only $3.99 and I’ve heard it was an excellent book about the use of chemicals in agriculture after the author developed a spinal tumor that nearly paralyzed him. Now a vegetarian, he blasts through the propaganda of beef and dairy interests — and the government agencies that protect them — to expose an animal-based diet as the primary cause of cancer, heart disease, and obesity in this country. He warns that the livestock industry is repeating the mistakes that led to Mad Cow disease in England while simultaneously causing serious damage to the environment.
That seems like an awful good price for a book that might be handy to keep a few extra copies of on hand so you can pas them along to people you think might be open to learning the truth about those kinds of things.

Yes! You should get the book! It’s great to get the perspective of someone who was actually in the destructive business that he now warns about.
It’s a fairly quick read to, but it’s enjoyable and informative. That’s a great price for the book, but if you don’t wanna wait for the shipping go down to your library and see if they have it. Mine did.
