This was a thoroughly enjoyable and encouraging hour! I hope Ayinde returns to the program soon. Vegans in Omaha would welcome him should he ever come this way to teach a class. One correction: there are many--too many!--cows and steers to be seen grazing in fields across Nebraska, especially western Nebraska into Colorado. Hogs are mostly confined (not the stench, unfortunately), but cattle are still primarily outdoors. Thanks again for a great show, as always. -- Gary in Omaha
