For decades, Americans have cut back on red meat and dairy products full of "bad" saturated fats. We obediently complied with nutritional guidelines to eat "heart healthy" fats found in olive oil, fish, and nuts, and followed a Mediterranean diet heavy on fruits, vegetables, and grains. Yet the nation's health has declined. What is going on?

For decades, it has been nearly universal dogma among environmentalists and health advocates that cattle and beef are public enemy number one. But is the matter really so clear? Hardly, argues environmental lawyer turned rancher Nicolette Hahn Niman in her new book, Defending Beef. The public has long been led to believe that livestock, especially cattle, erode soils, pollute air and water, damage riparian areas, and decimate wildlife populations. In Defending Beef, Hahn Niman argues that cattle are not inherently bad for either the Earth or our own nutritional health.

The United States spends an excess $1.5 trillion annually on health care compared to other wealthy countries - yet the amount of time that Americans live in good health ranks a lowly 68th in the world. At the heart of the problem is Big Pharma, which funds most clinical trials and therefore controls the research agenda, withholds the real data from those trials as corporate secrets, and shapes most of the information relied upon by health-care professionals.

Fossil fuels and livestock grazing are often targeted as major culprits behind climate change and desertification. But Allan Savory, cofounder of the Savory Institute, begs to differ. The bigger problem, he warns, is our mismanagement of resources. Livestock grazing is not the problem; it's how we graze livestock. If we don't change the way we approach land management, irreparable harm from climate change could continue long after we replace fossil fuels.

We all know the dangers of sugar and salt: but the danger attributed to the second white crystal has more to do with getting too little of it, not too much. Too little salt can shift the body into semi-starvation mode, causing insulin resistance, and may even cause twice as much fat to be absorbed for every gram that's consumed. Too little salt in certain populations can also actually increase blood pressure as well as resting heart rate.

There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences. Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices.

Description
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. In Sacred Cow, registered dietitian Diana Rodgers and former research biochemist and New York Times best-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 Cow points out the flaws in our current food system and in the proposed “solutions”. Inside, Rodgers and Wolf reveal contrarian but science-based findings, such as:
- Meat and animal fat are essential for our bodies
- A sustainable food system cannot exist without animals
- A vegan diet may destroy more life than sustainable cattle farming
- Regenerative cattle ranching is one of our best tools at mitigating climate change
You’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 the cow, it’s the how!

Essential reading, or listening!
This book presents a very balanced perspective on the pros and cons of growing different types of food (meat, crops), environmental considerations for growing these different types of foods, human nutritional needs, the ethical considerations of various food choices. An extremely important read for anyone interested in their health and the health of our planet.

Biased view would be expected, but selecting evidence and dehumanizing vegans is not great
There is a lot in this book and even though the authors starts by committing to stay true to evidence and also acknowledge the world has a lot of nuances, they spend most of the book ignoring that fact.
Let me disclose I’m not vegan nor paleo, but I try to eat 90% whole food plant based foods. And I read this book to challenge my biases and views, but I was expecting real scientific rigor and got the opposite of it.
Let me start with something the authors fail yo acknowledge but that both extremes(less animal, more animal) seem to agree, if one focus on locally produced whole foods (be them animal or plants) this is probably the main key contributor one can have today for both health and climate. Both extremes will get one in a best shape than today for most of westernized population and will force the industry to adapt. And unlike the authors try to claim, none will require vast amount of vitamins. B12 for plant only eaters and probably Cobalt for the cows so they can synthesize B12 :) And in neither you would be protein, iron or any other main nutrient deficient.
Few things about the book:
1. I don’t understand if the author is attacking vegans or the whole food plant based movement. They do openly attack vegans and I think without understanding what being a vegan is. I’m not a specialist either but Vegans seem to be more against exploitation of animals (and humans by the way) than they are against deaths are needed in nature. While as a farm owner the authors seems to paint a beautiful picture about farmers which care by each of their animals, we all know that’s not how billions and billions of animals raised for food are treated. Even in Norway where I live where we are proud to have Cows being as well treated as humans, there has been huge amount of reports and journalistic work showing that reality is very far that what people thought to be true.
2. If they are attacking whole food pant based movement (which is actually the other extreme which there is mounting evidence supports one of the optimal ways of living - add more years to life and life to years), then many of the arguments used are nonsense. Refined sugars, mono crops and all other things mentioned are as against the author view as the whole food plant based diet. There are multiple ways to eat badly and they can be full plant based also :)
3. I always like how large observational studies are dismissed as evidence of what is the best nutrition for humans. Although that’s the only way to find what is best nutrition, because one can’t run a double blinded randomized trial for the entire life and generation of populations. Also RCTs are very focused on reductionism. And the authors like to say that we shouldn’t use reductionism when measuring cows impact on environment, but then they like to use it to prove there is no evidence about plants being optimal diet (btw there is both plenty of RCT and Observational evidence that suggests more plans, less animal implies more and better years in life). But it’s also important to understand no knowledge is definite we keep building how knowledge by looking from different angles. But today based on what I read worst case scenario eating only plants is as good as eating meat and plants. Best case scenario plant predominant diets will lead to longer and better life. (Good summary of most evidence in “The truth about food” book)
But if one removes all the attacks and anti-vegan message as well and the promotion of a paleo diet (and raising even more cows) and the very low trick of scaring people through sensational examples of bad parenting which happen to be vegan and did horrors to their babies nutrition.. there are the things that one can learn/take to start making steps towards better health and environment regardless if one decides to eat animals or not.
Keep in mind that the author says 25% of population is iron deficient.. but remember only a fraction western population are actually non meat eaters. So the problem may mot be the vegan diet, but instead the lack of whole foods in either case :)
If you loved this book I would strongly recommend get the opposite extreme as well through “The China Study” book and the study itself :)

Diana and Robb do an excellent job of truly making the case for better meat. They present the information in a very organized fashion. Although it’s dense, it’s easy to read (you may need to just read it a few times over). I can not recommend this book enough!!

Highly biased and lacking evidence
I wanted to love it, I even agree with many of the theories put forth. I was so disappointed by how sparse the evidence and quality of argument that was put forth, no where close to being defensible beyond an already agreeable audience. Would not recommend.

The omega 3 proportion statement is misleading
The book might have some useful information, but the argument that grass-fed animals are not a good source of omega 3 anyway so they are not superior to corn fed animals in this way is misleading. Eating the meat of animal who has the right proportion of omega 3 to omega 6 means eating much less inflammatory markers and stress hormones, even if the amount of omega 3 is not adequate, the proportion is a marker for a good meat.

Must read: health, global warming, sustainability
This is the most thoughtful and holistic discussion I have seen of the interaction between farming, health, global warming, and sustainability. it should be on the high school required reading list to help give everyone a clue on how big the problem actually is.

This book should be required reading.
This book is positively eye opening, completely changed my perception of the Westernized food system and gave me an invaluable perspective on how to eat and shop. Even if you don't think you'll be interested in the topic, give this a shot since I'm sure it'll surprise you.
It expresses it's arguments in a clear manner anyone could understand and makes an irrefutably strong case for the widespread implementation of cattle in the food system.
I loved this book.
