Today on Strong By Design Engineer-turned-cattle-enthusiast Noel Heiks and cowboy-commando Kevin Key dive into the impacts of Big Food, Farming, and Pharma.
The authors embark on an adventure of food and diet, away from standard insulin-heavy fare and toward better ways of beef, keto, and carnivore.
Their book encourages us to break the shackles of the modern medical system keeping us fat and sick, and turn to the thriving doctors embracing beef, butter, and bacon. The story rides through the ranches to meet the producers who are key to an animal-based future filled with cows.
Noel Heiks and Kevin Key are the authors of The Cow Is How: To Fix Food, Farming, and Pharma. The book is a saga inspired by fighting a family's diabetes, Parkinson's, and mental health issues induced by a Standard American Diet. The authors travel on a journey through Industrial Agriculture in America, where the food we grow destroys not only the health of our people, but that of our heartland.
Through this book, the authors share the secret to restore our country to vitality and prosperity. The Cow Is How.
