Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat

We’re told that if we care about our health - or our planet - eliminating red meat from our diets is crucial. That beef is bad for us and cattle farming is horrible for the environment. But science says otherwise.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. InSacred Cow, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and former research biochemist andNew York Timesbest-selling author Robb Wolf explore the quandaries we face in raising and eating animals - focusing on the largest (and most maligned) of farmed animals, the cow.Taking a critical look at the assumptions and misinformation about meat,Sacred Cowpoints out the flaws in our current food systemandin the proposed “solutions”. Inside, Rodgers and Wolf reveal contrarian but science-based findings, such as:Meat and animal fat are essential for our bodiesA sustainable food system cannot exist without animalsA vegan diet may destroy more life than sustainable cattle farmingRegenerative cattle ranching is one of our best tools at mitigating climate changeYou’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.It’s not thecow, it’s thehow!PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.Read more
