“There is no meaningful distinction between eating flesh and eating dairy or other animal products. Animals exploited in the dairy industry live longer than those used for meat, but they are treated worse during their lives, and they end up in the same slaughterhouse after which we consume their flesh anyway. There is probably more suffering in a glass of milk or an ice cream cone than there is in a steak.” EndsUsedSufferingAnimalProductsIndustryEatingGlassesFleshMeaningfulTreatedIceMeatDistinctionMilkCreamIce CreamSteakDairyConesSlaughterhousesIce Cream Cones Book:Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation Source: Animals as Persons: Essays on the Abolition of Animal Exploitation
“History--the product, not the raw material--is a bottle with a label. For many years now, the emphasis of historical discussion has been laid upon the label (its iconography, its target-group of customers) and upon the interesting problems of manufacturing bottle-glass.

Only amateurs swallow them.” WayYearsHas BeensProblemHandsInterestingKnowingGroupsMaterialsProductsHistoricalGlassesCustomersLabelsDiscussionTargetBottlesEmphasisManufacturingRaw MaterialsSpatsIconography Author:Neal Ascherson

“The federal government has more power to recall a defective stuffed animal who's little glass eye may fall off than to recall contaminated ground beef that could sicken or even kill hundreds if not thousands of people. The meat-packing industry is so powerful that it's managed to prevent the government from having this basic power of recalling a defective product.” PeopleIfsMayLittlesGovernmentEyeFallAnimalPowerfulProductsIndustryGlassesMeatRecallsFederal GovernmentBeefDefectivePackingStuffed Animal Author:Eric Schlosser
