Plutarch
“A human body in no way resembles those that were born for ravenousness; it hath no hawk’s bill, no sharp talon, no roughness of teeth, no such strength of stomach or heat of digestion, as can be sufficient to convert or alter such heavy and fleshy fare. But if you will contend that you were born to an inclination to such food as you have now a mind to eat, do you then yourself kill what you would eat. But do it yourself, without the help of a chopping-knife, mallet or axe, as wolves, bears, and lions do, who kill and eat at once. Rend an ox with thy teeth, worry a hog with thy mouth, tear a lamb or a hare in pieces, and fall on and eat it alive as they do. But if thou had rather stay until what thou eat is to become dead, and if thou art loath to force a soul out of its body, why then dost thou against nature eat an animate thing? There is nobody that is willing to eat even a lifeless and a dead thing even as it is; so they boil it, and roast it, and alter it by fire and medicines, as it were, changing and quenching the slaughtered gore with thousands of sweet sauces, that the palate being thereby deceived may admit of such uncouth fare.”
Plutarch

If you really care about animals, then stop trying to figure out how to exploit
“If you really care about animals, then stop trying to figure out how to exploit them 'compassionately'. Just stop exploiting them.”

Steve Jobs
“Eat your food as your medicine. Otherwise, you have to eat medicine as your food.”

Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr.
“In addition to the moral aspect, the production and consumption of animal meat is inefficient from a systems design perspective — It's extremely wasteful. If a group of systems engineers were designing a food production system from scratch, it would be a decentralized plant-based system with integrated distribution and consumption channels. This would also cultivate the greatest business opportunities.”
Hendrith Vanlon Smith Jr, CEO of Mayflower-Plymouth

Gautama Buddha
“He who injures living beings is not noble. He is called noble because he is gentle and kind towards all living beings.”

Mary Tyler Moore
“Behind every beautiful fur coat, there is a story. It is a bloody, barbaric story.”
Mary Tyler Moore

Jordi Casamitjana
“For an ethical vegan it doesn't matter when we started eating meat and for how long, as animal exploitation is not avoided because this is the 'natural' thing to do, but the 'moral' thing to do. However, human biology helps vegans to thrive, rather than hinders them, which explains all the health benefits reported when people switch to a vegan diet.”
Jordi Casamitjana, Ethical Vegan: A Personal and Political Journey to Change the World

Jordi Casamitjana
“Experts on dietetics (the study of diet and its health effects) are finally recognising that balanced vegan diets are healthy. The British Dietary Association has stated well planned vegan diets can support healthy living in people of all ages, and other similar professional bodies all over the world agree. On the other side, the World Health Organization has classified processed meat as carcinogenic, and there is increasing evidence that eating lots of meat and dairy increases blood pressure and blood cholesterol, which leads to heart disease, and that cutting them out can significantly reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, a disease which is affecting an increasing number of people in developed nations.”
Jordi Casamitjana, Ethical Vegan: A Personal and Political Journey to Change the World

Jordi Casamitjana
“Research from Baton and Konner in 1985 and Cordain et al. in 2000 estimated that about 65 per cent of the diets of pre-agricultural Palaeolithic humans may still have come from plants – far more than only your recommended five fruit and veg a day, I would say. Interestingly, anatomically modern humans are believed to have more copies of the starch-digesting genes than the Neanderthals and the Denisovans (another extinct species or subspecies of archaic human that ranged across Asia during the Lower and Middle palaeolithic), suggesting that the ability to digest starch has been a continuous driver through human evolution as much as walking upright, having big brains and articulate speech - perhaps being a baker may be the oldest profession after all.”

“Why do we find it so horrible to kill a baby? It’s because they are voiceless and defenseless. The same applies to animals. Killing them is cowardice.”
Edward Sanchez

“Three times a day I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain or to kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do.”
Natalie Portman

“«Un mesías debe arder en la misma llama con la que pretende iluminar a su ejército».”
Ignacio Samper, Descarnado

Susana Monsó
“We also don’t like to see ourselves as the predators we are. The carcasses that city dwellers in the Global North consume come packaged in hygienic containers without a drop of blood, cut into neat little pieces so that they don’t remind us too much of the animal to which they once belonged. Slaughterhouses are in the outskirts of neighborhoods, conveniently hidden from our view. We eat ham, pork, beef, instead of the remains of an animal who once lived, breathed, felt.”
Susana Monsó, Playing Possum: How Animals Understand Death
