Wednesday, March 18 at 6:30pm

Cowed: The Hidden Impact of 93 Million Cows on America's Health, Economy, Politics, Culture, and Environment (Hardcover)

Wednesday, March 18 at 7pm

Without cows there would be no United States. If Europeans hadn't brought cows with them on their leaky wooden ships, they could not have held the land they conquered. Cows pulled wagons and powered farms. But over the last century a once powerful alliance has soured and most cows have become cogs in factory farms churning out unhealthy food and pollution. Both species have suffered as a consequence. Our brains, our lungs, our hearts, and our children are being harmed. It needn't be this way. Denis Hayes, lifelong environmental activist and head of the Seattle-based Bullitt Foundation, and his writer wife Gail, found farmers and ranchers who showed them there are better ways. Finally, they lay out what individuals can do, without much sacrifice, to significantly improve both their own lives and the lives of cows.
