Therefore, vegetarianism alone can give us the quality of com-passion, which distinguishes man from the rest of the animal world.

My take is that the optimal approach to food, for health and ethical reasons, may be vegetarianism.

I think vegetarianism is a crucial ethical choice for an individual and a society.

Being a vegetarian really saves lives.

There used to be a time - it isn't so much the case now - that vegetarianism was some kind of religion, and either you belong or you don't belong.

I think that if a person wants to remain vegetarian, they're just going to have to go hungry.

We should propagate the values of vegetarianism.

I'm not a vegetarian. But I think people who are vegetarians, they are actually more virtuous than the rest of us. I think they should be admired.

One has got to choose between the two evils, also between the lesser of the two evils in the matter of food, and therefore vegetarian food has got to he taken by man in order to sustain human life.

My own view is that being a vegetarian or vegan is not an end in itself, but a means towards reducing both human and animal suffering and leaving a habitable planet to future generations.
