For more reviews or purchase info, click on any title to go to Amazon.com   Lethal Laws Animal Testing, Human Health and Environmental Policy This book argues that using animals as human surrogates is not only unethical, but bad science; it shows how animal testing has been used as an alibi for the continued use of supposedly "safe" chemicals; and it shatters the myth that animal tests are accurate predictors of human health risks.     Why Grassfed Is Best! The Surprising Benefits of Grassfed Meat, Eggs, And Dairy Products Explains the advantages of products from animals that have been raised on pasture (as opposed to dirty, smelly, cramped feedlots, hog pens, and chicken houses). The benefits accrue not only to animal welfare, the environment, and small family farms, but also to human nutrition. Includes a state-by-state listing of suppliers of grassfed products.
