• Environmentalism is a luxury. Just like being a vegetarian is a luxury. When you have to worry about eating - you're not going to be worried about where the food's coming from, or who made your shoes. Poverty, whether planned or not planned, is a way of making environmentalism moot.

• Whatever I decide will not work.  It's what people want that will work.  So no one decided whether you become a vegetarian or anything else.  What determines that is the availability of food.  If we run out of vegetation due to floods or natural disasters, people will consume meat and if we run out of meat they will consume vegetables.  I have no control over that.  That would be up to people.

• Are you a vegetarian?' I ask, based on the evidence in front of me. She nods. 'Why?' 'Because I have this theory that when we die, every animal that we've eaten has a chance at eating us back. So if you're a carnivore and you add up all the animals you've eaten--well, that's a long time in purgatory, being chewed.' 'Really?' She laughs. 'No. I'm just sick of the question. I mean, I'm a vegetarian because I think it's wrong to eat other sentient creatures. And it sucks for the environment.
