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

“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

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 – 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
