In "Sacred Cow," Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf present a compelling and meticulously researched argument in favor of red meat, challenging the prevailing narrative that cattle farming is detrimental to our health and the environment. With Rodgers' expertise as a registered dietitian and Wolf's background as a former research biochemist, this book delves deep into the heart of controversies surrounding meat consumption, debunking common myths with a blend of scientific evidence and thoughtful analysis. The authors make a persuasive case that not only is meat crucial for our bodies, but that a sustainable food system is unattainable without animals. Through their exploration, "Sacred Cow" illuminates the misunderstood role of cattle in our ecosystem, advocating for regenerative ranching practices as a vital solution to climate change. Beyond merely defending meat's place in our diet and environment, Rodgers and Wolf offer a visionary outlook on how we can mend our fractured food systems. The book is a clarion call for a more nuanced understanding of sustainability, urging readers to consider the ethical and ecological implications of their food choices. "Sacred Cow" provides practical advice on supporting sustainable farms and introduces a 30-day challenge to encourage a healthful and conscientious dietary transition. With a combination of scientific rigor, deep compassion, and wit, this book is an essential read for anyone interested in the future of food, environmental conservation, and nutritional health. Rodgers and Wolf compellingly argue that when it comes to meat, the question isn't whether we should eat it, but how it should be produced.

Highly recommend it. - Dominic D'Agostino
Per ounce, organic grass-finished beef is cheaper than many common foods like potato chips, red wine, name-brand cookies, popular coffee drinks, fancy donuts, and even fresh strawberries. And if we were to compare price per gram of protein, or per micronutrient, we’d see an even better value.
— Diana Rodgers, Sacred Cow
