Oprah Winfrey and Howard Lyman Sue the Cattlemen's Association

In 1996, Oprah Winfrey published a segment on the Mad Cow Panic in the UK. The beef industry lost its mind and sued her for libel under Texas's False Disparagement of Perishable Food Products Act. "The Cattleman's Association is drunk with power off of their hardcore win with the food pyramid," he says. 'Oprah will eventually spend $5 million defending herself'
