-
“The most frequent relationship the majority of Christians have with the other animals is with dead animals whom they eat, for breakfast or lunch or dinner.”
-
“In the Bible, vegetarianism is situated in the beginning and in the fulfillment of time. Young beckons us to situate vegetarianism in the present-time. What we forfeit - comfortable misreadings and traditional tastes - pale before what we gain.”
