Quotes of the Month

“University of Chicago scientists estimate that a person who consumes a mixed animal-plant diet instead of an all-plant diet has the same extra impact on global warming annually as a typical passenger car driven 4,000 miles.”

-- Organic Gardening, June/July 2007

“The health benefits associated with eating more vegetables and fruits and less meat are indisputably clear. In general, vegetarians consume less saturated fats, cholesterol and animal protein than people on an average American diet, and they consume higher levels of fiber, magnesium, folate, vitamins C and E, carotenoids and phytochemicals. Specifically, studies have shown a positive link between eating a vegetarian diet and a reduced risk for chronic diseases such as diabetes, obesity, hypertension, coronary artery disease and some types of cancer.”
