"Vegetarians are cool. All I eat are vegetarians--except for the occasional mountain lion steak."
— Ted Nugent

"It is useless for sheep to pass a resolution in favor of vegetarianism while wolves remain of a different opinion."
— William Inge

"I can't count the times that upon telling someone I am vegetarian, he or she responded by pointing out an inconsistency in my lifestyle or trying to find a flaw in an argument I never made. (I have often felt that my vegetarianism matters more to such people than it does to me.)"
— Jonathan Safran Foer (Eating Animals)

"Most vegetarians look so much like the food they eat that they can be classified as cannibals."
— Finley Peter Dunne

"Vegetarians are people too lazy to chase their food."
— Iacobi (Jim)

"We need a better way to talk about eating animals. We need a way that brings meat to the center of public discussion in the same way it is often at the center of our plates. This doesn't require that we pretend we are going to have a collective agreement. However strong our intuitions are about what's right for us personally and even about what's right for others, we all know in advance that our positions will clash with those of our neighbors. What do we do with that most inevitable reality? Drop the conversation, or find a way to reframe it?"
— Jonathan Safran Foer (Eating Animals)
