The oath I took as an inspector said if I ever saw anything wrong I was supposted to report it. But today I can’t report anything.Today, if you blow your whistle, you’re in trouble with the inspection service. I feel the oath I took is violated every day I work.

I would expect an extremely high percentage of the chickens would test positive. Our poultry industry clients wouldn’t like that.

I know hundreds of people who have spent years and thousands of dollars on tests looking for ulcers or spastic bowels. I tell them to lay off all dairy products for two weeks. The results are usually so striking that it changes their lives.

An important fact to remember is that all natural diets, including purely vegetarian diets without a hint of dairy products, contain amounts of
calcium that are above the threshold for meeting your nutritional needs….In fact,calcium deficiency caused by an insufficient amount if calcium
in the diet is not known to occur in humans.

There exists a substantial body of competent and reliable scientific evidence that eating eggs increases the risk of heart attacks or heart disease….This evidence is systematic,consistent,strong,and congruent.

Our food system takes abundant grain,which people can’t afford,and shrinks it into meat,which better-off people will pay for.

The American fast food diet and the meat eating habits of the wealthy around the world support a world food system that diverts food resources from the hungry.A diet higher in whole grains and legumes and lower in beef and other meat is not just healthier for ourselves but also contributes to changing the world system that feeds some people and leaves others hungry.

I know what it feels like to be hurt,and I don’t want to cause that pain to any other person or creature. But somehow, in society, we numb ourselves in order to make money or to feel better about ourselves, such as with cosmetics or food. We say to ourselves, I’m going to use this animal. I’m going to say it doesn’t have much worth so that I can allow myself to do these cruel things. And that just isn’t fair.

We always had dogs,so I understood all the joy and the love animals are capable of giving. It’s crazy to me that some people have dogs in thier homes, but they treat them more like furniture.

Not that I say,”Oh,I’m not going to associate with certain people.,” but I have my world,and I only want to be around people who I feel stimulated by. I have to be honest I do have a new quest: I want to meet more vegetarians,people who are more like minded. There’s something real neat about that feeling. It makes you feel so settled to know there’s somebody else sitting right there,being so passionate about what i’m passionate about. I don’t want to be around selfish people. I try to keep myself surrounded by deep people who will move me.
