"Being an indignant carnivore allows one a sense of satisfaction for topping the "food chain," but it obfuscates the underpinnings of cruelty and destruction upon which one's life is founded."
--Robert Papy

I did not become a vegetarian for my health. I did it for the health of the chickens.
--Isaac Bashevis Singer

No more the milk of cows
Shall pollute my private house
Than the milk of the wild mares of the Barbarian;
I will stick to port and sherry,
for they are so very, very,
So very, very, very, Vegetarian.
--G. K. Chesterton, "The Logical Vegetarian," 1914

Vegetarianism is harmless enough, though it is apt to fill a man with wind and self-righteousness
--Sir Robert Hutchinson, President, Royal College of Physicians, 1938-41
