Here's a fairly interesting video of Howard Lyman speaking. The video's pretty long so get comfortable. The link says:
According to 4th generation rancher-turned-vegan, food-safety activist and author Howard Lyman, your fork may be the most dangerous weapon in existence. Take a behind-the scenes look at the dark side of raising beef for profit, and the impact of the beef cattle business on the environment, health and ethics. After hearing Howard on her TV show discussing practices that he believes led to Mad Cow Disease, Oprah was so repulsed she exclaimed that she would never again eat another hamburger. Hear Howard's extraordinary tale as he explores America in crisis and demonstrates how we are destroying our environment and becoming the sickest nation in the world. In 1979, when a rare spinal tumor caused a then 380-pound Howard Lyman to be paralyzed from the waist down with a one-in-a-million chance of walking again, he had 7,000 head of cattle, 12,000 acres of crops and 30 employees. His healing led him to organic farming.
