Words of Wisdom – 20 April 2009
“The animals you eat are not those who devour others; you do not
eat the carnivorous beasts, you take them as your pattern. You only
hunger after sweet and gentle creatures who harm no one, follow you,
serve you, and are devoured by you as the reward of their service.”
– Jean-Jacques Rousseau (28 June 1712 - 2 July 1778) Swiss-born
French philosopher and author
“Usually, the first thing a country does in the course of
economic development is to introduce a lot of livestock. Our data
are showing that this is not a very smart move…. We are basically a
vegetarian species and should be eating a wide variety of plant food
and minimizing our intake of animal foods.... Once people start
introducing animal products into their diet, that's when the
mischief starts.”
– T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. Professor of Nutrition, Cornell
University, director of a study of 6,500 Chinese that found a close
correlation between meat consumption and the incidence of heart
disease and cancer.

"Joyful Curmudgeon"
An oxymoron?
No! I see all the beauty of God's creation and I'm joyful. At the
same time, I see all the suffering and corruption going on in the
world, and feel called to help expose and end it so that we may have true
peace and compassion.Blog
