About being a vegetarian . . .

"Veganism is not about sacrificing the food you have acquired a taste for to improve your health. It is not about supporting kind methods of confinement, exploitation and slaughter. Veganism is about putting yourself in their place, and treating them as your equal. Period." - Dr. Holly Wilson

and 

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." —Albert Einstein
