THINK YOU CAN'T GO VEGAN, THINK AGAIN!
By becoming
Vegan,
one person saves about 100 animals per year
instantly!!! Gary

What
do two vegetarians say to each other when exchanging their wedding
vows?
"Lettuce
unite!"
And a veggie punchline: "Lettuce
turn up on time so we won’t be asked where we’ve
been".

food causes impotence because it blocks the arteries to all vital
organs, including the ,penis. Dr.
Dean Ornish, Medical Advisor to Bill Clinton
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
they
[who stop eating flesh] will live longer. The average age of a meat
eater is 63. I am on the verge of 85, and still at work as hard as
ever. I have lived quite long enough, and am trying to die; but I
simply cannot do it. A single beefsteak would finish me; but cannot
bring myself to swallow it. I am oppressed with a dread of living
for ever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism.
George Bernard Shaw (From his letter)

I
want death to find me planting my cabbages.
Michel Eyquem DeMontaigne (1533-92)

My
resolution for the new millennium is simple, but oh, so powerful: a
wholesome, nonviolent diet of grains, legumes, vegetables and
fruits!
Suzanne
House (From her letter to Tampa Tribune)

It
is my view that the vegetarian manner of living, by its purely
physical effect on the human temperament, would most beneficially
influence the lot of
mankind. Albert
Einstein

In
the next 10 to 15 years, one of the things you’re bound to hear is
that animal protein is one of the most toxic nutrients of all that
can be considered.

T. Colin Campbell (Nutritional Biochemist, Cornell
University)

The
wild, cruel beast is not behind the bars of the cage. He is in
front of it.
Axel
Munthe

The
animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not
made for humans any more than black people were made for whites, or
women for men.
Pulitzer
Prize Winner Alice Walker "The Color Purple"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a world older and more complete than ours, animals move finished
and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or
never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not
underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the
net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail
of the earth.
Henry
Beston "The Outermost House"

Cruelty
to animals is one of the most significant vices of a low and
ignoble people.

AVS Presents
Special Meal at Candle in NY in honor of World Vegan Month Celebrate World Vegan Month Saturday November 17 2007, 1pm – 4pm Bart Potenza and Joy Pierson host a special meal at Candle - 79 154 E 79TH - New York NY 10021 Speakers: Freya Dinshah—American Vegan Society (AVS) president Dr. Milton Mills—Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine Roberta Schiff—comedian, Mid-Hudson Vegetarian Society Pamela Rice—author, founder NYC’s Viva Vegie Society Barata El—poet Leif Erich--classical guitar American Vegan Society promotes World VEGAN Day & Month in the United States to educate people about the vegan lifestyle. As a vehicle to promote veganism each year through outreach events and the media, we hope that World VEGAN Day & Month will help make the word "vegan" a household term that is universally recognized as meaning love and compassion for all living beings. World VEGAN Day & Month is also about celebrating what it means to be vegan. Veganism enables people to live in balance with all of Earth's creatures and promotes freedom from exploitation for animals. Animal agriculture is cruel and violent toward the chickens, cows, pigs and other creatures used to make meat, milk, and eggs. Make reservations by phone, fax, or mail with: American Vegan Society PO Box 369 Malaga NJ 08328 Phone 856-694-2887, Fax: 856-694-2288 |
