• De-programming the perfunctory ways of meat, dairy, egg and honey-eaters is possible.

• MAD FREE is simply described as "Liberating Conversations with Revolutionary Women about Beauty, Image and Power".

It was not because of the readership or because the market wasn't there; the company that held it collapsed, which I was the last editor in chief of.

You were born in America; that's not fair. Honey, you had better pray to God that things don't start getting fair for you.

• Have you ever known an alcoholic, a cigarette smoker, or a heroin user to be rational when it came to alcohol, cigarettes, or heroin? Of course not.

• Let us not go hurrying about and collecting honey, bee-like buzzing here and there for a knowledge of what is not to be arrived at, but let us open our leaves like a flower, and be passive and receptive, budding patiently under the eye of Apollo, and taking hints from every noble insect that favours us with a visit - sap will be given us for meat and dew for drink.
