Wow! There were vegetarians in 17 AD?!!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vegetarian Food For Thought: Quotations And Inspirations (Paperback)
We tend to think eating a compassionate, vegetarian diet as being a "new" thing. But Ms Davis' book proves that humans have been choosing a kinder, healthier way of eating since the beginning of recorded time! It is fascinating to read the thoughts of many notorious, brilliant minds in history--authors, poets, philosophers, doctors, spiritual leaders---very intelligent, educated & respected people in society. As I read it I highlighted my favorite quotes...the book is now predominently yellow!!!! I think my very fave is from Ovid, a Roman poet who died in 17AD: "...Earth is generous with her provision, and her sustenance is very kind; she offers, for your table, food that requires no bloodshed and no slaughter." Something to keep in mind when you sit down to your next meal...

Get this book if you care curious at all about vegetarianism,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vegetarian Food For Thought: Quotations And Inspirations (Paperback)
This is a superb collection of quotes relating to vegetarianism from an incredibly wide range of sources. You'll find quotes from ancients like Plato and Buddha, but also from your favorite celebrities living today (some of whom you'd be surprised to learn are vegetarians!). Ms. Davis is a thorough and impressive researcher, and I can't even begin to guess how much time and effort she spent to bring us these unforgettable quotes. A must buy!

By A Customer
This review is from: Vegetarian Food For Thought: Quotations And Inspirations (Paperback)
Since the beginning of recorded human history, sages have written and spoken about the many benefits of vegetarianism. Here is a collection of wisdom that is funny, insightful, inspirational, and moving. I will be referring to the quotations in this book again and again. Highly recommended.
