4.0 out of 5 stars Meat's good for your health? Think again..., 30 Jan 2001

By	punkgeezer@yahoo.com (Japan) - See all my reviews

This book covers quite a lot of ground, from how to run a feedlot operation, to how meat affects the health of those who consume it. The sources/citations are thorough, and the evidence presented pretty much speaks for itself. This is a good book to buy for those who claim that 'vegetarians are sick all the time'.

5.0 out of 5 stars What you don't know is hurting you. READ this book, 18 Feb 1999

By A Customer

I highly recommend this book as an eye-opening revelation of the injustices that go on every day in the meat, pesticide & herbicide industries. The one drawback of the book is how angry it made me that such outlandish pratices exist in today's modern society. Luckily, I have been able to redirect that anger towards making a postive change for myself and the earth. This book will save you and contibute to saving the world. I am totally serious.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing and eye opening!!!, 31 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This book is awesome! I have always been a big meat eater until I read this book. No one can possibly look at a piece of meat again and have a craving for it after reading this book. I didn't realize how much horrid stuff is involved with the cattle industry. I am going to send a copy to my mother so she can realize she doesn't need meat anymore. Thanks for a great book!
