“Track 2 side one is jaw-dropping Opus-style DIY-crunch punk with Kriminella Gitarrer-guitar breaks. I can't believe this isn't a hotly pursued record by herd-following punk rock turd-swallowers round the globe. Fantastic slop-o-rama-lama-fa-fa-fa production too.” Johan Kugelberg
“Don't let schooling interfere with your education.” Mark Twain
“Once upon a time the universities had a certain prestige; the student persists in the belief that he is lucky to be there. But he came too late. His mechanical, specialized education is as profoundly degraded (in comparison to the former level of general bourgeois culture) as his own intellectual level, because the modern economic system requires a mass production of uneducated students who have been rendered incapable of thinking. The university has become an institutional organization of ignorance. “High culture” is being degraded in the assembly-line production of professors, all of whom are cretins and most of whom would be jeered by any audience of highschoolers. But the student, in his mental menopause, is unaware of all this; he continues to listen respectfully to his masters, conscientiously suppressing all critical spirit so as to immerse himself in the mystical illusion of being a “student” — someone seriously devoted to learning serious things — in the hope that his professors will ultimately impart to him the ultimate truths of the world. The future revolutionary society will condemn all the noise of the lecture halls and classrooms as nothing but verbal pollution. The student is already a very bad joke.” Mustapha Omar Khayati
The Now Here Come The Now LP (Last Year's Youth Records, 2003)
“Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.” Albert Einstein
What the Health (Kip Andersen, 2017)
“It [meat] kills us just as dead as tobacco kills us, but far more frequently. It is far and away the number-one cause of death and disease in America. One out of every two Americans alive today will die of cardiovascular disease, usually in the form of a heart attack. And heart attacks are never caused by corn, broccoli, or cauliflower; they are not the work of pears, plums, or peaches; they are never brought on by rice, barley, or lentils.” Howard F. Lyman
“When meat and dairy products aren't killing us, they're often making us sick and progressively destroying our health and the quality of our lives.” Howard F. Lyman
Flux Of Pink Indians Neu Smell EP (Crass Records, 1981)
Flux Of Pink Indians – Sick Butchers
“Ecological burdens from intensive livestock operations include loss of native vegetation, decline of fisheries as water is diverted for irrigation and stream habitats are degraded, diseases in native herbivores, and major changes in fire frequency, soils, hydrology, and other ecosystems processes.” Lester Brown
“If you think that we are currently using our agricultural surplus to feed the hungry world, consider that two-thirds of our agricultural exports go to feed livestock abroad. We are helping to fatten animals for slaughter everywhere. It is generally only people who are left hungry.” Howard F. Lyman
“To be an environmentalist who happens to eat meat is like being a philanthropist who doesn't happen to give to charity.” Howard F. Lyman
VA The A.L.F. Is Watching And There's No Place To Hide… LP (No Master's Voice, 1987)
Power Age – Eat Wheat Not Meat
“[Man] has no curved beak, no sharp talons or claws, no pointed teeth… on the contrary, by the smoothness of his teeth, the small capacity of his mouth, the softness of his tongue and the sluggishness of his digestive apparatus, Nature sternly forbids him to feed on flesh.” Plutarch
“People often hear conflicting nutritional advice, shrug their shoulders, and decide they might as well eat what they want, or what they're used to, since the experts can't seem to agree on anything anyway. That reaction, of course, is exactly what the meat and dairy industries are praying for. Just as the tobacco industry survives by keeping millions of people addicted to its murderous product, which it until recently claimed was harmless, so the meat and dairy industries thrive by keeping the general population too confused or misinformed to change their destructive eating habits. But the case for the health benefits of a vegetarian diet is at least as clear, and established in at least as many scientific studies, as the case for not smoking. The human body was simply not designed to accommodate tar and nicotine – nor was it designed to process dead animals or products derived from the lactation of other mammals.” Howard F. Lyman
Fallout Home Killed Meat LP (Self-released, 1983)
Fallout – Pound Of Flesh
“You don't have the right to kill an animal because you feel like eating or wearing it. And if you don't think destroying billions upon billions of animals each year isn't affecting the global collective karma, you need to have your fucking head examined. You want peace, but where's the peace for them? The truth is that we've made this planet a hell for animals. Take a second, put yourselves in their place, and think about what we subject them to. It is hell.” John Joseph
Cowspiracy (Kip Andersen, 2014)
“Remember, we vote three times a day with our wallets and purses. Every meal is an opportunity to support the people who produce our foods without chemicals.” John Joseph
