being.”

cramming in other bodies, to have one living creature fed by the death of another! For as
long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of
murder and pain cannot reap the joy of love.”
– Pythagoras, Ionian Greek mathematician and philosopher
“My refusing to eat flesh occasioned an inconveniency, and I was frequently chided
for my singularity, but, with this lighter repast, I made the greater progress, for greater
clearness of head and quicker comprehension. Flesh eating is unprovoked murder.”
– Benjamin Franklin
