Quotes by Simon Fairlie  (?)

“The cause of the exhaustion of the soil, is sought in the customs and habits of the townspeople, ie. in the construction of water closets, which do not admit of a collection and preservation of the liquid and solid excrement. They do not return in Britain to the fields, but are carried by the rivers into the sea. The equilibrium in the fertility of the soil is destroyed by this incessant removal of phosphates and can only be restored by an equivalent supply.”
Simon Fairlie, Meat: A Benign Extravagance

“Put another way, the superior efficiency of a universal vegan diet can perhaps only result in a significant increase of food production if it is ‘subsidized’ by petrochemical inputs which a livestock-based system can do without.”
Simon Fairlie, Meat: A Benign Extravagance
