"Howdy! Welcome to the 69th issue of the Mad Cowboy Newsletter.
In this edition of the Newsletter we're pleased to provide two great recipes from the new cookbook by Tamasin Noye, "American Vegan Kitchen." It's a real winner. Reading down farther you'll note that Mad Cow Disease has "returned" to Canada, issues with hormones in pigs, and information about the various food recalls that keep showing up. There's also some articles on how reducing salt can drastically reduce health expenditures and save lives, current stats on obesity (hint: we're not winning), how the FDA came down on several "natural food" producing companies, and detailed reasons for no GM food and why you should have a vegetable garden.
Moving on, among other articles, there's encouragment in noting that "The Cove" won an Academy award, and it's makers were instrumental in shutting down a restaurant in Santa Monica serving whale sushi. Momentum is growing to give Dolphin's "non-person" legal rights, and outside of our Vegan Media Theater (with many offerings this issue, including a funny SNL parody and a conversation between Bill Moyers and Jane Goodall), you can see the First Lady's Garden as it is now in Spring via video.
Finally, on a sad note, we end with some closing thoughts from Howard Zinn, who died recently. He was an inspiration to many, and will be missed.
... as always, a tip of the hat to our new subscribers: y'all can browse past issues at the Mad Cowboy Newsletter Archives (and see the "Quick Bytes" section, omitted from this edition of the Newsletter) at:

Best wishes to everyone for a Great Spring and hopes that your own garden's grow well and plentiful this season!
