“Cursed be all those on land and sea who eat their fill, cursed be all those who starve yet raise no hand in protest, cursed be all the bread, the wine, the meat which day by day descends deep in the entrails of the exploited man and turns not into freedom's cry, the murderer's ruthless knife!” MenHandsTurnsSeaLandCryRaisesWineBreadMeatProtestKnivesMurdererRuthlessCursedLand And Sea Author:Nikos Kazantzakis

“Have you seen Cowspiracy? It takes a lot more land to feed a meat eater than to feed a vegan or a vegetarian. It's something I'd love to get into but it's very hard to persuade people to stop things they've been doing for a long time. So maybe it needs to start with the next generation. Everyone needs to raise their children with a bit more responsibility.” PeopleNeedsChildrenLongHardNextBitsResponsibilityGenerationsLandLong TimeRaisesMeatVegetarianVeganNext Generation Author:Douglas Booth
“Raising crops to feed animals for human consumption requires a lot of land. It takes eight or nine cows a year to feed one average meat eater; each cow eats one acre of green plants, soybeans and corn per year; so it takes eight or nine acres of plants a year to feed one meat eater, compared with only half an acre to feed one vegetarian.” YearsHumansAnimalHalfLandGreenPlantAverageEightNineMeatVegetarianCowsConsumptionCornCropsAcresSoybeansGreen Plants Author:Sharon Gannon
