Lyman vs. Niman:
Can You Be a `Good Environmentalist' and Still Eat Meat?

At least since the publication of Diet for a Small Planet, the environmentally conscious have worried about the impacts of eating meat.
 
Raising livestock is resource-intensive, often polluting, and, as we are beginning to learn, a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions. It's also one of the ways we've fed ourselves for millennia. So is there an ecologically sustainable way to eat meat?
 
At this public debate, Ari Derfel, co-founder of Gather restaurant in Berkeley will moderate a conversation with Nicolette Hahn Niman ? a Marin rancher and author of The Righteous Porkchop ? who will argue that there is and Howard Lyman ? the author of Mad Cowboy: Plain Truth from the Cattle Rancher Who Won't Eat Meat ? who will disagree.
 
Please join us for what promises to be a lively and provocative conversation on an issue most of us face three times a day!
