“We know it (meat eating) is indisputably the number one cause of global warming. So what does it mean exactly to be an environmentalist on a daily basis if you are not thinking about the number one cause of global warming or one of the top two or three causes of all other environmental problems? Does it mean you are necessarily someone who doesn't care about the environment? Obviously not, but it might mean you have a blind spot for something big.” IfsThinkingKnowsMeanDoeTwoProblemBigsMightCareThreeCausesNumbersEnvironmentEatingBasesBlindEnvironmentalClimate ChangeSpotsMeatGlobal WarmingEnvironmentalistEnvironmental ProblemsBlind SpotsMeat EatingCauses Of Global Warming Author:Jonathan Safran Foer

“Most people put their childhood away as if it was an old hat. They forget it as if it was a phone number that does not apply anymore.

“I'm not a vegetarian. Now, don't get me wrong - I like animals. And I don't think it's just fine to industrialize their production and to churn them out like they were wrenches. But there's no way to treat animals well when you're killing 10 billion of them a year. Kindness might just be a bit of a red herring. Let's get the numbers of animals we're killing for eating down, and then we'll worry about being nice to the ones that are left.” ThinkingWayYearsWellsMightLeftBitsAnimalNumbersKindnessWorryNiceFineEatingRedTreatsDown AndKillingProductionsBillionsVegetarianBeing NiceWrenchesHerringRed Herrings Author:Mark Bittman

“• Eating disorders are addictions. You become addicted to a number of their effects. The two most basic and important: the pure adrenaline that kicks in when you're starving—you're high as a kite, sleepless, full of a frenetic, unstable energy—and the heightened intensity of experience that eating disorders initially induce. At first, everything tastes and smells intense, tactile experience is intense, your own drive and energy themselves are intense and focused. Your sense of power is very, very intense. You are not aware, however, that you are quickly becoming addicted.” FirstsTwoImportantEnergyNumbersEffectsBecomingTastePureEatingAddictionSmellFocusedIntenseKicksDisorderIntensityStarvingAdrenalineUnstableEating DisorderKitesTactileTaste And Smell Author:Marya Hornbacher
