THE BEEF INDUSTRY
What They Don’t Tell You

      “Exceptionally well written, organized, documented, and presented, The Beef Industry, What They Don’t Tell You is as informed and informative as it is thoughtful and thought-provoking. Beginning with an historical overview of the beef industry from 1655 to the present, The Beef Industry, What They Don’t Tell You is comprised of chapters on Beef Specifics; Beef Handling Techniques; Your Personal Options Regarding Beef; Your Beef Producers; The Business of Beef; Life of a Calf; Humane Treatment; Nutritive Value of Beef; Health Issue Involving Beef—The Harvard Study; Environmental Issues; and Consumer Evolution. Of special note is the Closing statement and an author’s Postscript. Simply stated, The Beef Industry, What They Don’t Tell You is very highly recommended to both community and academic library collections, as well as to the attention of the non-specialist general reader with an interest in the beef industry, in the consumption of beef and human health, and in the environmental and humanitarian issues arising from the ranching and slaughter of cattle.”
