About This Item
BenBella Books, 2020. Hardcover. Like New/Fine . 6x1x9. Beef is framed as the most environmentally destructive and least healthy of meats. We're often told that the only solution is to reduce or quit red meat entirely. But despite what anti-meat groups, vegan celebrities, and some health experts say, plant-based agriculture is far from a perfect solution. In Sacred Cow, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and former research biochemist and New York Times bestselling author Robb Wolf explore the quandaries we face in raising and eating animalsâfocusing on the largest (and most maligned) of farmed animals, the cow.Taking a critical look at the assumptions and misinformation about meat, Sacred Cow points out the flaws in our current food system and in the proposed "solutions." Inside, Rodgers and Wolf reveal contrarian but science-based findings, such as: ⢠Meat and animal fat are essential for our bodies. ⢠A sustainable food system cannot exist without animals. ⢠A vegan diet may destroy more life than sustainable cattle farming. ⢠Regenerative cattle ranching is one of our best tools at mitigating climate change.You'll also find practical guidance on how to support sustainable farms and a 30-day challenge to help you transition to a healthful and conscientious diet. With scientific rigor, deep compassion, and wit, Rodgers and Wolf argue unequivocally that meat (done right) should have a place on the table.
