Subject: 11_22_06: Mad Cowboy Trailer, Locavores, & Animals Win
Welcome to the 55th issue of the Mad Cowboy Newsletter. We're proud as peacocks to announce that "Mad Cowboy: The Documentary" won an Artivist Award earlier this month in Hollywood, and you can watch the first trailer of the movie here:

Also, the Mad Cowboy extends a hearty handshake to Senator-elect John Tester, from Montanna. The Senator is an organic farmer (remember, Howard ran for the House years ago and almost won). Here's some info about Mr. Tester's background:

In this Thanksgiving issue of the newsletter you'll find a bunch of links for holiday recipes collected below. And, don't miss the link (in Mad Cow Info Round-Up) to the Canadian TV show "Regenesis," kind of a "X-files" on biotechnology issues (with an interactive online game). There's also a tally of how Animal Issues faired in this recent election, an essay about "Humane Eating," an interview with Eric Schlosser and links to the "Fast Food Nation" trailers/behind-the-scenes. Then there's the "Backwards Hamburger" and Meatrix 2.5 videos, the new studies about red meat and cancer - good fat and heart disease, the 1st study to connect soil mineral depletion to cancer-causing chemicals in food, and the "eating local challenge" posted by "Locavores."
You'll also find out that scientists now realize that birds are brainy, manatees are smarter than they originally thought, elephants can recognize themselves in mirrors, and no one knows how that dog figured out how to take the bus periodically into town.
... and, as always, a tip of the hat to our new subscribers. Y'all can read past issues of the newsletter at:

Here's wishing everyone a blessed, happy, and veg'n Thanksgiving!
Keep warm... Mark
