Guest guest Posted March 23, 2000 Report Share Posted March 23, 2000 Last year I went to see Howard Lyman speak at the Vegetarian Food Fair here in Toronto. It was incredible, unbelievably inspiring, but unfortuately Paul couldn't attend. After Howard spoke I had the pleasure of speaking with him for a couple minutes. He is the warmest man I've ever met. I mentioned how disappointed I was that my boyfriend couldn't be there and so Howard told me that if I emailed him, he would send me a videotape. Finally, on Saturday I decided to take him up on his offer and sent out an email reminding him of our conversation that evening, wondering if he would ever even have time to reply. I got a reply _that day_. Can you imagine?! Howard Lyman! He said no problem, just send my address. So I did, thanked him very much, and as a token of my appreciation promised to make a donation to his organization 'Voice for a Viable Future'. Anyhow, I recieved a notice today to pick up a parcel and I'm sure it's Howard's tape. I _really_ want everybody to see it, so I was hoping we could arrange a time when we could all get together here and watch it. This one will be mandatory attendance! You won't be dissappointed. Maybe April 1st or 2nd? " Howard Lyman's personal odyssey from cowboy and cattlerancher to animal rights activist, environmentalist and vegetarian is an inspiring chronicle of the life and times of an extraordinary human being -- an individual who risked everything, including giving up his own past, to help create a more humane and civilized future. Who better to tell the story of the American cattle culture than a man baptized in the beef mystique and now it's chief critic. " Jeremy Rifkin, author of " Beyond Beef: The Rise and Fall of the Cattle Culture " " You have to remember that 80% of people are part of the herd. Do not think that because you saw ten people today and only two of them had a clue of what you were talking about that today was a failure. That's an absolute, 100% successful day.
