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!

If you want to know if someone is a spiritual being ask yourself, Is he or she breathing? If the answer is yes, then you know that you are in the presence of a spiritual being.

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.

One's knowledge of karma should not be used to judge others. You should ask yourself: Do I like where I am going, or do I want to change my direction?

It is a fact that the ecological devastation of the planet can be traced to the consumption of meat and dairy, which contributes to water, soil, and air pollution as well as global warming and the mass extinction of many species of plant and animal forms.

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!

Human overconsumption is a greater problem than human population growth, and meat eating is a big part of that problem.

Life begins with an inhale and ends with an exhale. ln between that inhale and that exhale is our life.

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
Image
Eating a vegetarian diet can contribute more to saving ourselves and the planet than any other single effort.
Sharon Gannon
Image
To live and breathe with an exclusive focus on one's small self, disconnected from the whole, is the definition of egotism.
Sharon Gannon
Image
We are the only animals who steal and drink the milk from other species.

Image
I'm totally into veganism and animal rights, but I'm not into being an angry and judgmental activist.

Most of the plants grown to be fed to farm animals are heavily saturated with pesticides and herbicides and have been genetically modified, all of which contributes to the pollution and destruction of our environment, which harms us all.
Sharon Gannon
Image
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.

Live with the anticipation that something incredible might happen at any time.

Farm animals, like dairy cows - who by nature are vegans - are routinely force-fed fish to increase their weight and milk production.

To be alive is to be breathing.

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

If we weren't so dirt-conscious, we would obtain adequate vitamin B12 from soil, air, water, and bacteria, but we meticulously wash and peel our vegetables now - and with good reason, as we can't be sure our soil is not contaminated with pesticides and herbicides.
