Sometimes
a great quotation makes a point well. Some of these are about the
cooking of food, and some about what we eat. Indeed, some are quite
pointed, but I let them speak for themselves.
As
a searcher for truth, I deem it necessary to find the perfect food
for a man to keep body, mind and soul in a sound condition. I
believe that the search can only succeed with unfired food ...

I
do not regard flesh-food as necessary for us at any stage and under
any clime in which it is possible for human beings ordinarily to
live. I hold flesh-food to be unsuited to our species.

The
beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the
wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile
accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real
people,” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.

Nothing
will benefit human health and increase the chances for survival of
life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.

In
general, mankind, since the improvement in cookery, eats twice as
much as nature requires.

Benjamin Franklin
We
humans are the only primates who eat meat. Somewhere along the line,
someone sold us all a bill of goods that it’s good for us to eat
meat.

Life
is too short not to eat raw and it's even shorter if you don't.

All
mankind lives in a state of terrible ignorance. In the opinion of
food addicts, the consumption of cooked food is something quite
natural, while nourishment by the laws of nature is an experiment,
and a dangerous experiment at that.
