Tonight on the show "Nature" on PBS, they explained the relationship between humans and cows throughout history. It was quite interesting, I thought. Unfortunately, I was doing something else while watching, but I got most of it. I think what did it for me was the section where they explained where meat used to come from and where it comes from now. They explained the damage that a corn diet does to cows and then the antibiotic issue, and then the slaughtering process. I felt that they stopped just short of saying that this way of procuring meat for food is not sustainable. They also discussed the methane issue, but I missed most of that.
Anyone else catch this?
No. But I wish I did. That sounds interesting.

I couldn't watch it on my computer (it's about to die), but it should work on a computer that is worth anything...
Thanks! I'm on the road today, but I'll give it a looksy tomorrow evening.
it only has an intro to it...do you know how we can see the whole thing?
