Veganism Quotes – Reflections on a Plant-Based Lifestyle

"What you eat every day is a far more powerful determinant of your health than your DNA or most of the nasty chemicals lurking in your environment."

Thomas Colin Campbell

"Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants."

Michael Kevin Pollan

"Vegan food is soul food in its truest form. Soul food means to feed the soul. And, to me, your soul is your intent. If your intent is pure, you are pure."

Erykah Badu

"I'm close to being a vegan, but I'm not one, technically. I don't eat eggs, or nearly any dairy - no cheese or milk. I do eat honey, and a piece of milk chocolate here and there. It's never really been that hard for me. I've never had any desire to eat meat. In fact, when I was a kid I would have a really difficult time eating meat at all. It had to be the perfect bite, with no fat or gristle or bone or anything like that. I don't judge people who eat meat - that's not for me to say - but the whole thing just sort of bums me out."

Tobias Vincent „Tobey“ Maguire

"There is nothing more powerful than a consumption-conscious vegan."

Alicia Silverstone

"Veganism isn't a trend. It's an awakening."

Vegane Weisheiten

"Nothing's changed my life more. I feel better about myself as a person, being conscious and responsible for my actions and I lost weight and my skin cleared up and I got bright eyes and I just became stronger and healthier and happier. Can't think of anything better in the world to be but be vegan."

Alicia Silverstone

"Only freedom is natural."

Vegane Weisheiten

"Animal rights is a part of my everyday life. When you live by example, you create a certain level of awareness. Friends of mine – people I have never discussed animal rights or vegetarianism with – are adopting vegetarian habits because they see it."

Joaquin Rafael Phoenix

"People feel poorly because they are nourished by foods you wouldn't feed to your dog and cat. The rich western diet is full of fat, sugar, cholesterol, salt, animal protein - all the wrong foods for people."

John A. McDougall

"I’ve found that a person does not need protein from meat to be a successful athlete. In fact, my best year of track competition was the first year I ate a vegan diet."

Carl Lewis

"The average age (longevity) of a meat eater is 63. I am on the verge of 85 and still work as hard as ever. I have lived quite long enough and am trying to die; but I simply cannot do it. A single beef-steak would finish me; but I cannot bring myself to swallow it. I am oppressed with a dread of living forever. That is the only disadvantage of vegetarianism."

George Bernard Shaw

"When people ask me why I don’t eat meat or any other animal products, I say, ‘Because they are unhealthy and they are the product of a violent and inhumane industry.'"

Caleb Casey McGuire Affleck-Boldt

"When I see bacon, I see a pig, I see a little friend, and that’s why I can’t eat it. Simple as that."

Sir James Paul McCartney

"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages"

Thomas Alva Edison

"Everyone has to find what is right for them, and it is different for everyone. Eating for me is how you proclaim your beliefs three times a day. That is why all religions have rules about eating. Three times a day, I remind myself that I value life and do not want to cause pain to or kill other living beings. That is why I eat the way I do."

Natalie Portman

"Please don’t refuse with your eyes what the animals endure with their bodies."

Shaun Monson

"World Peace begins in the kitchen."
