Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 I know this doesn't have much to do with vegan recipes, but found some more good quotes: " Always there's that space between what you feel and what you do, and in that gap all human sadness lies. " -Blue Dog " If you step back and look at the datea, the optimum amount of red meat you should eat should be zero. " -Walter Willett, MD, of Brigham and Women's hospital, director of a study that found a close correlation between red meat consumption and colon cancer " When we kill the animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings. " -William Roberts, MD editor of the American Journal of Cardiology I think this next one is my favorite (sigh) " The question is not, Can they reason? nor Can they talk? but Can they suffer? " -Jeremy Bentham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2005 Report Share Posted July 20, 2005 I highly recommend reading the book The Secret Life Of Plants by Tompkins and Bird, also you may want to first read the book reviews on amazon.com ... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060915870/qid=1121879877/sr=8-1/r\ ef=pd_bbs_1/102-9690360-8980113?v=glance & s=books & n=507846 .... Among other things, the book explains the scientific studies done on plants and results confirming that plants not only can feel but they can also communicate. --- Renee Brennan <reneemarie11 wrote: > I don't think I will be the only one wondering... so > I will ask. > How do plants suffer? > > On 7/20/05, adm <life_lime wrote: > > > > --- Mary Boehler <mbb73 wrote: > > > > In answer to your quote ... it is a little known > fact > > that plants also suffer when you kill them.
