"Every day forty thousand children die in the world for lack of food. We, who
overeat in the West, who are feeding grains to animals to make meat, are eating
the flesh of these children."
"By eating meat we share the responsibility of climate change, the destruction
of our forests, and the poisoning of our air and water. The simple act of
becoming a vegan will make a difference in the health of our planet."
