A popular and respected blogger in Quebec, Canada, political scientist Élise Desaulniers is a food ethics and animal rights advocate who is also interested in public policy, philosophy, and feminism. In Cash Cow, she lakes a detailed look at the dairy industry, and how it has persuaded the general public of the naturalness and value of cow's milk in the human diet. Desaulniers asks just who really benefits from the promotion of dairy, and how effectively animal welfare and small fanning operations can be protected in an age of consolidation and confinement. A foreword for the American edition by Mia MacDonald of Brighter Green-a U.S.-based public policy "action" tank that works to encourage policy action on issues that span the environment, animals, and sustainability-places the North American dairy market in the context of an intensifying, global industry.
