I don't understand why asking people to eat a well-balanced vegetarian diet is considered drastic, while it's medically conservative to cut people open or put them on powerful cholesterol-lowering drugs for the rest of their lives … Animal products are the main culprit in what is killing us. We can absolutely live better lives without them.


Quoted in Roberto Suro, Hearts and Minds, New York Times Magazine, December 29, 1991, 28; as quoted in John Robbins, Diet for a New America 25th Anniversary Edition, H J Kramer, 2012, p. 359
