A superb overview of man and cow, but treads delicately on the industriazed manufacturing of meat and dairy. For those who want to see a documentary of merit on today’s treatment of cows, and other species, I would recommend watching Earthlings, available on google videos. 95 minutes and a must see, it’s our right and our responsiblility to know these things. Then if you want to change what your current habits are, good sources online are http://www.eatwild.com and http://www.sustainabletable.org.
Kudos to the Lasaters, and all the farmers and ranchers who are raising animals in the more humane and traditional ways. They are the hope.
