QUOTES OF THE MONTH

“Going meatless once a week can reduce your risk of chronic preventable conditions like cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. It can also help limit your carbon footprint and save resources like fresh water and fossil fuel.”

-- Meatless Mondays educational material

“If there were a poster boy for the ills of factory farming, Jack DeCoster [salmonella eggs] would be it. DeCoster has a lifetime of flagrant violations against state and federal laws, including labor, human rights, environmental, and animal cruelty violations.”
