Vegetarian Diet

Fork: An instrument used chiefly for the purpose of putting dead animals into the mouth.   

--Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

 

Think of the fierce energy concentrated in an acorn!  You bury it in the ground, and it explodes into an oak!  Bury a sheep, and nothing happens but decay.   

George Bernard Shaw

Animals are my friends... and I don't eat my friends.   

George Bernard Shaw

Being a meat eater is really expensive, even if you don't count the cost of chemo.

My situation is a solemn one.  Life is offered to me on condition of eating beefsteaks.  But death is better than cannibalism.  My will contains directions for my funeral, which will be followed not by mourning coaches, but by oxen, sheep, flocks of poultry, and a small travelling aquarium of live fish, all wearing white scarves in honour of the man who perished rather than eat his fellow creatures.   

George Bernard Shaw

I did not become a vegetarian for my health, I did it for the health of the chickens.   

Isaac Bashevis Singer

Heart attacks... God's revenge for eating his little animal friends.

  1. this post makes me feel guilty.....but i still remain a non.vegetarian.....vegetarians also suffer heart attacks, if you bury a banana it will also decay, when you love your friends too much you want to eat them!!!

  2. Banana becomes wine. Flesh putrefies and stinks.
    Eating ones friends makes one into a cannibal!
