If we ourselves want to be free and happy then by enslaving and harming animals we will not be able to achieve our goal.

To be alive is to be breathing.

Eating a vegetarian diet can contribute more to saving ourselves and the planet than any other single effort.

Lions and other carnivorous animals do eat meat, but that doesn't mean we should. They would die if they didn't eat meat. Human beings, in contrast, choose to eat meat; it isn't a physiological necessity.

Today "aged" foods like sauerkraut, miso, and tempeh are fermented in hygienically sanitized stainless-steel vats to assure cleanliness, so we can no longer be sure they will provide us with the B12 we need. Vegans should not mess around with this issue.

By working to alleviate the suffering of animals you are working at the cause level of human suffering.

The most important thing to remember in life is to be kind.
