Eating meat is a leftover of the greatest brutality [killing]; the transition to vegetarianism is the first and most natural consequence of enlightenment.

No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity, no member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to me. Its why I don't eat red meat or white fish, don't give me no blue cheese. Were all members of the animal kingdom, leave your brothers and sisters in the sea.

I don't eat meat because meat brings out negative qualities such as fear, anger, anxiety, aggressiveness, etc. Vegetables peacefully offer themselves to the earth when ripe, thus allowing a sublime and peaceful thought consciousness.

When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that's why I can't eat it. Simple as that.

If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be a vegetarian.

But you know, as a kid I would have thought of a vegetarian as a wimp.
