In 1996, Howard Lyman warned America about the impending threat of Mad Cow Disease on The Oprah Winfrey Show, leading to lawsuits from offended cattlemen. Lyman and Oprah were vindicated, and subsequent events have confirmed Lyman's predictions. He argues in No More Bull! that the issue will worsen unless the government takes serious action. A fourth-generation Montana rancher turned vegetarian and then vegan, Lyman shares his personal transformation after a spinal tumor, which he attributes to agricultural chemicals. Using humor, compassion, and his agricultural background, Lyman advocates for dietary changes that can benefit everyone. He compellingly links Alzheimer's disease to meat consumption and asserts that steak provides no more nutritional value than a doughnut. For those confused by various fad diets like Atkins and South Beach, Lyman offers clarity and straightforward insights. His message resonates with meat eaters, vegetarians, and vegans alike, emphasizing that we can improve our health and the planet through better dietary choices. The book delivers unvarnished truths with down-home common sense, encouraging readers to reconsider their food choices for a healthier future.
