I'm now almost half way through the book and it definitely gets better. He describes the biological cycle of life on the pasture, where grass feeds cows whose manure feeds the grass. Add in chickens that eat the maggots out of the cow manure and add their own nitrogen-rich crap to the grass to help it grow to feed the cows to produce more manure. At the of the food chain are the humans who benefit from all this. It's a wonderful cycle that makes sense. Unfortunately with the speed of business and industry, people don't want to wait for cows to become meaty from grazing, they want to feed them corn which grows cows much faster, but destroys the biological cycle that produces healthy soil and healthy animals and therefore takes away healthy food for us to eat.
The sad thing is, there are natural farmers out there who do things the right way, but they don't sell their products any further than the local market on weekends, so big city folks like most of us will never get to taste this wholesome chemical and disease free food.
“For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?”
