More quotes by Sharon Gannon
Cows that are fed organic food are still kept as slaves on farms, regardless of whether it is a large corporate factory farm or a small family farm. Besides, every dairy cow, no matter what she has been fed, has her babies stolen from her shortly after birth and she will inevitably end up in the slaughterhouse.

One of the definitions for mad is wild I'm certainly all for wild as opposed to domesticated.
Sharon Gannon
Enlightenment is the realization of the oneness of being, where otherness disappears.
Sharon Gannon
To live and breathe with an exclusive focus on one's small self, disconnected from the whole, is the definition of egotism.
Sharon Gannon
See the other person's potential for kindness and bolster your own expression of kindness. If you see them in a negative way, the power of your perception will only help to keep them that way as you polarize yourself from them, assuming a superior role, seeing yourself as the good guy and them as the bad guy.

Lions and other carnivorous animals do a lot of things besides eat meat. They live outdoors, not in houses they don't wear clothes or drive around in cars they usually sleep for many hours after eating a meal. Why cite just one of the many things that they do and argue that we should imitate them? This doesn't make much sense.
Sharon Gannon
Through the practice of yoga, you come to feel confident and develop a feeling of wholeness and completeness you are not likely to feel deprived or 'less than.' People steal because they feel deprived. They try to make up for their deficits by depriving others.

Create the kind of world you want to live in by how you treat others now.

Milk is for babies. Human beings are the only species that drinks milk into adulthood and besides that we prefer to drink the milk of another species (enslaved cows and goats), and we have come to consider it normal when, it is actually a pretty perverse form of sexual abuse!
Sharon Gannon
In fact, drinking milk and eating dairy products can rob your body of calcium and contribute to osteoporosis. If you eat dark green leafy vegetables like kale, collards, and mustard greens, you can get enough calcium from a vegan diet.
Sharon Gannon
It is true that every being is enjoying life or suffering as a direct result of his or her own past actions. The animals in the factory farms may have been meat-eating human beings in a previous birth we don't know, and it is not our place to judge.
Sharon Gannon
It is true that veganism is a serious issue, but there should be fun involved. Why do anything if it doesn't bring some joy at the end of the day?
Sharon Gannon
Be a communicator, not a self-righteous proselytizer or preacher. Many people are only concerned with expressing themselves, which isn't necessarily communication.
Sharon Gannon
By choosing to be kind instead of cruel, we can break the karmic chain of reacting to violence with more violence, contributing to a more peaceful future for everyone.

To be an environmentalist is to care about the environment and care about life on planet Earth.
Sharon Gannon
Eating vegetables, fruits and grains rarely causes total destruction of the plant or tree on which the food grew after harvesting, seeds remain to be replanted the next season. But this certainly does not happen when an animal is slaughtered - death is final that animal will not reproduce again!
Sharon Gannon
To be alive is to be breathing.
Sharon Gannon
What we do to others will come back to us.
Sharon Gannon
Because of our unenlightenment, we do not know that what we do to others we ultimately do to ourselves.

Vegan food is not only good for you, the animals, and the planet, but cooking vegan can be simple, easy, and fun.
