My refusing to eat flesh occasioned an inconveniency, and I was frequently chided
for my singularity, but, with this lighter repast, I made the greater progress,
for greater clearness of head and quicker comprehension.
-- Ben

Flesh
eating is unprovoked murder.
-- Ben
Franklin
I do not regard flesh-food
as necessary for us at any stage and under any clime in which it is possible for
human beings ordinarily to live. I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species.
We err in copying the lower animal world - if we are superior to it.

Vegetarianism is
harmless enough, though it's apt to give a person wind and self-righteousness.
~Robert Hutchinson
A
dead cow or sheep lying in a pasture is recognized as carrion. The same sort of
a carcass dressed and hung up in a butcher's stall passes as food.
-- John
Harvey Kellogg, M.D.
When
we eat vegetarian foods, we needn't worry about what kind of disease our food
died from; this makes a joyful meal!
-- John Harvey Kellogg, M.D.
We
all love animals. Why do we call some "pets" and others "dinner?"

 | Our
food system takes abundant grain,which people can't afford,and shrinks it into
meat,which better-off people will pay for.
-- Frances
Moore Lappe |
I
understand, of course, that grain-fed meat is not the cause of the world hunger
problem-and eating some of it doesn't directly take food out of the mouths of
starving people-but it is, to me, a symbol and a symptom of the basic irrationality
of a food system that's divorced from human needs. Therefore, using less meat
can be an important way to take responsibility. Making conscious choices about
what we eat, based on what the earth can sustain and what our bodies need, can
help remind us that our whole society must begin to balance sustainable production
with human need.
-- Frances
Moore Lappe
'To
consider yourself an environmentalist and still eat meat is like saying you're
a philanthropist who doesn't give to charity'
-- Howard Lyman
