Ask The Experts About World Peace Diet

Sharon asks…
can veganism bring about peace to our planet?
I’ve asked this q before but after reading a bk called world peace diet I think I should ask it again cos the author, Dr. Tuttle, suggests that its the 1 way we’re gonna end exploitation , pain and misery cos we’ll be eliminating them from our diets and , eventually, our world. I’m in agreement with this philosophy and was wondering how others felt about it…

“We pray on Sundays that we may have light/To guide our footsteps on
the path we tread;/We are sick of war, we don’t want to fight,/And yet
we gorge ourselves upon the dead.” -George Bernard Shaw
“Vegetarian food leaves a deep impression on our nature. If the whole
world adopts vegetarianism, it can change the destiny of humankind.”
-Albert Einstein
“Flesh eating is simply immoral, as it involves the performance of an
act which is contrary to moral feeling: killing. By killing, man
suppresses in himself, unnecessarily, the highest spiritual capacity,
that of sympathy and pity towards living creatures like himself and by
violating his own feelings becomes cruel.”
-Leo Tolstoy
“As long as there are slaughterhouses, there will be battlefields.” -Leo Tolstoy
“I have no doubt that it is a part of the destiny of the human race, in its gradual improvement, to leave off eating animals.” -Henry Thoreau
“There will never be any peace in the world as long as we eat animals.” -Isaac Bashevis Singer
“In all the round world of utopia there is no meat. There used to be. But now we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. And in a population that is all educated and at about the same level of physical refinement, it is practically impossible to find anyone who will hew a dead ox or pig. We never settled the hygienic aspect of meat-eating at all. This other aspect decided us. I can still remember as a boy the rejoicings over the closing of the last slaughterhouse.” -H.G. Wells
“Awareness is bad for the meat business. Conscience is bad for the meat business. Sensitivity to life is bad for the meat business. DENIAL, however, the meat business finds indispensable.”
-John Robbins
“The earth affords a lavish supply of riches, of innocent foods, and
offers you banquets that involve no bloodshed or slaughter; only beasts
satisfy their hunger with flesh, and not even all of those, because
horses, cattle, and sheep live on grass. As long as men massacre
animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seeds of
murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.”
-Pythagoras
