Beef the untold story of how milk, meat, and muscle shaped the world

Rimas and Fraser present a detailed and informative account of beef consumption in our society, documenting how the domestication of cattle has evolved as a food source, economic resource and even as artistic and religious inspiration. The authors combine history, agribusiness data and personal anecdotes from those in the beef industry to illustrate how human development has been influenced by this animal, and outline what we can do in the future to avoid wasteful and unhealthy practices such as growth hormone implementation. Several recipes, offered as "culinary interludes," are included in each chapter.
