55. Howard Lyman points out in Mad Cowboy (New York: Scribner, 1998, p. 126),
that not only does it take enormous amounts of pesticide-laden grain to make the
animal foods we consume, but also that “ . . . governmental limitations, lax though
they are, on the use of pesticides for human consumption do not apply to crops destined
for livestock. The lion’s share of the agrochemical poisons sprayed into the air
and falling onto the ground are dedicated to the production of meat.”
56. Howard Lyman, author of Mad Cowboy, occasionally offers this metaphor in his
public addresses.
