“First, you’re going to have to stop using food for anything other than nutrition. You cannot continue to use food to celebrate, or as a companion, or for entertainment, or comfort. You cannot medicate yourself, your mood, or pain with food.”

“Turtles don't feel, stupid," said Jem.

"Were you ever a turtle, huh?”
― Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

“We have always liked to think ourselves less savage than the other animal s . To say that people are " h umane" is to say that they are kind; to say that they are "be.!stly," "brutal," or simply that they behave "like animals" is to suggest that they are cruel and nasty. W� rarely stop to consider that the animal who kills with the least reason to do so is the human a n il!'a l . We think of lions a n d wolves as savage because they kill; ·but they must kill, or starve. Humans kill other animals for sport, to satisfy their cu­ riosity, to bea u t i fy their bodies, and to please their palates. Huma n beings also kill members of their own species for greed or power. Moreover, human beings are not content with mere killing. Throughout history they have shown a tendency to tor­ ment and torture both their fellow human beings and their fellow animals before putting them to death. No other animal shows much interest in doing this.”
