Today I discovered the South Australian Government is now listed as a ‘partner’ on the “Do Something” Meat Free Monday “Foodwise” website. I’ve previously written about the Meat Free Monday campaign. It purports to help the health of the planet and relies on the endorsement of celebrities who are too distracted or too busy to […]

'Life as an Australian Horseman' & 'A Million Acre Masterpiece' contain hundreds of fascinating photos of Australian outback cattle stations.
Authentically Australian, these unique coffee-table books are enjoyed by every age and people from all walks of life. These books are especially appreciated by people who are hard to buy gifts for. The first edition of 'A Million Acre Masterpiece' sold out but it has been reprinted due to popular demand, and the sequel 'Life as an Australian Horseman' was only published a few months ago. But there's no need to take my word for it - read what other people have said about books in Testimonials.
Orders for 2 or more books receive a good discount plus a free carrybag screen printed with photographs taken in the NT & WA. All orders mailed overseas receive a free carrybag also.

April 4th, 2015Below are a variety of research/study sources from around the world, plus some well thought out personal opinion pieces, that refute misinformation portrayed as truth by those intent on eradicating all meat from the menu.
