In The China Study there is a quote made by one of the great scholars, Seneca,
2,000 years ago. He was a tutor and advisor to Roman Emperor Nero:
An ox is satisfied with the pasture of an acre or two: one wood suffices
for several Elephants. Man alone
supports himself by the pillage of the whole earth and sea. What! Has
Nature indeed given us so
insatiable a stomach, while she has given us so insignificant bodies?
....The slaves of the belly (as says
Sallust) are to be counted in the number of the lower animals, not of
men. Nay, not of them, but rather of
the dead .... You might inscribe on their doors, "These have anticipated
death."
Is is not incredulous that this statement was made 2,000 years ago and we
have completely ignored this and in fact destroyed our planet, our animals?
What a shame, it is sickening what Man does. He is the most destructive and
cruel being on the planet.

The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who
are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
-Albert Einstein
