The World Peace Diet: Eating For Spiritual Health And Social Harmony

Inheriting Our Food Choices / 65
Our well-being—and our survival—depend on our seeing this clearly
and throwing off our chains of domination and unawareness. By harming
and exploiting billions of animals, we confine ourselves spiritually,
morally, emotionally, and cognitively, and blind ourselves to the
poignant, heart-touching beauty of nature, animals, and each other.
To be free, we must practice freeing others. To feel loved, we must
practice loving others. To have true self-respect, we must respect others.
The animals and other voiceless beings, the starving humans and future
generations, are pleading with us to see: it’s on our plate.
