THE
STORY (excerpt): "One day, Howard
Lyman found himself in a hospital bed confronted with the very real
possibility that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
A tumor on his spine, a one-in-a-million chance of its surgical
removal gave him sufficient pause to reflect on what it was that
really mattered to he and his wife, Willow Jeane. Howard's "dark
night of the soul" liberated him from then on. He saw that
he had been caught on a vicious treadmill that was destroying everything
he believed in: his parents' organic farm, the animals, the trees,
the grass, his marriage, his livelihood, and his health. At over
300 pounds, this former football player had assumed that heavy animal
protein, lots of greasy yellow fat, was essential to his well being.
But now, from his hospital room, staring at the obese, self-doubting
human being that Howard Lyman had become, he awakened to a more
conscious way of thinking. He vowed to turn around his life, and
his ranch."
The
journey led him into the world of organic agriculture, veganism
(vegetarianism plus no dairy or eggs), politics (he nearly
won a House seat), undermined at the last minute by a bank
that deliberately co-opted Montana's most visible vegetarian),
and
his discovery, early on, of a disease new to history called
bovine
spongiform encephalopathy, BSE, or mad-cow."
