QUOTES OF THE MONTH

“The cow is a climate bomb.” -- Thilo Bode, of the German consumer protection organization Foodwatch.

“”Re…swine flu…this pathogen, and many others (like avian influenza) originated from animals being raised…for food. As the world moves toward raising the majority of animals in the unnatural setting of factory farms, such pathogens will arise. What will it take…to question our addiction to meat and tolerance of factory farming? The meat industry is environmentally devastating, incredibly inhumane, and now potentially the end to us all.” – Edward Machtinger, NY Times letter to the editor
