"Had we been placed on this earth by a malign creator for the
exclusive purpose of causing suffering, we would have good reason to
congratulate ourselves on our enthusiastic response to the task." --
Alain DeBotton


"In modern society, the only remaining justifications for killing
animals for food is that people find meat to be convenient and/or that
people enjoy the taste of meat. In other words, the meat provides
convenience and pleasure. These morally vacant justifications for
eating meat should be weighed against unnecessarily killing of
billions of animals each year and the devastating effects of meat
production on both the environment and human starvation." -- Ed
