You're thinking I'm one of those wise-ass California vegetarians who is going to tell you that eating a few strips of bacon is bad for your health. I'm not. I say it's a free country and you should be able to kill yourself at any rate you choose, as long as your cold dead body is not blocking my driveway. - Scott Adams, Dilbert cartoonist


Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut, that held its ground.

Our children may save us if they are taught to care properly for the planet; but if not, it may be back to the Ice Age or the caves from where we first emerged. Then we'll have to view the universe above from a cold, dark place. No more jet skis, nuclear weapons, plastic crap, broken pay phones, drugs, cars, waffle irons, or television. Come to think of it, that might not be a bad idea.
- Jimmy Buffet, Singer, Songwriter, Author


Vegan

Non-Vegan
I will not eat anything that walks, runs, skips, hops or crawls. God knows that I've crawled on occasion, and I'm glad that no one ate me. - Alex Poulos, fictional character on the Australian soap opera, Home and Away, played by Danny Raco.

Hunting is not a sport. In a sport, both sides should know they're in the game. - Paul Rodriguez

He is a heavy eater of beef. Me thinks it doth harm to his wit. - Shakespeare, Twelfth Night

All of the animals except man know that the principle business of life is to enjoy it. - Samuel Butler, poet (1612-1680)

I'm not working out. My philosophy: no pain, no pain... I recently became vegan because I felt that as a Jewish lesbian, I wasn't part of a small enough minority. So now I'm a Jewish lesbian vegan. - Carol Leifer, American comedian (1956 - )
Meat is dirty. I wouldn't touch a hot dog without a condom on it.

My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people. - Orson Welles, American actor, director, screenwriter (1915 - 1985)










































"The standard diet of a meat-eater is blood, flesh, veins, muscles, tendons, cow secretions, hen periods and bee vomit.
And once a year during a certain holiday in November, meat-eaters use the hollowed-out rectum of a dead bird as a pressure cooker for stuffing.
And people think vegans are weird because we eat tofu?"

- Robert Cheeke, vegan bodybuilder

Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad.
