I eat meat, but no meat that isn't pastured is acceptable, and we probably need to eat a whole lot less.

Animals that we eat are raised for food in the most economical way possible, and the serious food producers do it in the most humane way possible. I think anyone who is a carnivore needs to understand that meat does not originally come in these neat little packages.

Beef should be organic and grass-fed; fish should be wild, not farm raised.

We should propagate the values of vegetarianism.

I think it's important that, as a matter of course, the brain and spinal column were removed from this cow, and that would be the material that would cause concern in terms of human health. And therefore we're confident in the safety of the food supply.

We made more money feeding molasses, urea, and corn cobs to cattle than we ever did feeding dent corn.

We spend more on cows than the poor.

The main point for me is moral; animals are sentient beings. I know for some this is a hard argument to accept, but we're not built to eat a lot of meat.

Real nutrition comes from soybeans, almonds, rice, and other healthy vegetable sources, not from a cow's udder.

Animals raised on corn produce fattier meat, but it's not just that it's fattier, it's the kinds of fats. Corn-fed beef produces lots of saturated fats. So that the heart disease we associate with eating meat is really a problem with corn-fed meat. If you eat grass-fed beef, it has much more of the nutritional profile of the wild meat.
