Vegetarian Star

“It’s not, ‘If I can’t be a perfect environmentalist, I’m not going to do anything. Being hypocritical is better than not doing anything. Unfortunately, it’s framed ‘You’re this or you’re that.’ ‘The light switch is on or it’s off.’ You make a choice three times a day. If you’re using one meal to excuse 1,000 meals, that is just crazy.”

“If it’s an anything-movement, it’s a common-sense movement. I do think the worm has turned and people are understanding that the diet that is the most prevalent and easiest is not the diet that’s best.”

—Mark Bittman, author and food writer at New York Times, on how more people should adopt a diet that consists of less meat and more plant products. Bittman was featured in an article in the Fargo-Moorhead Forum that discusses the popularity of people who reduce their meat intake without officially declaring themselves vegetarian.

Vegetarian Times, a magazine devoted to recipes and all things food and veg related, has estimated that up to 70% of its readers are flexitarians, looking for meal ideas to replace meat dishes during the day, week or month.

“It just comes from a love of animals really. I agree with a lot of people who talk about the health benefits and the planetary benefits of eating meat. But from all the shit I suffered when I was young – animals were always my friends. They didn’t judge me for my race, or for who I was. I hate it when people say things like “Hitler was an animal” – what animal? An animal wouldn’t do what he did!”

“Here’s why I’m unabashedly pro-faux: It’s much better for human health, exponentially better for our environment, and infinitely better for animals.”

“I wish that we lived in a world where every family had the time, know-how, means, and motivation to prepare healthful, from-scratch meals brimming with organic vegetables, whole grains, and slow-cooked beans. There is no doubt that this is the ideal, and that we’d all be a lot better off if we ate this way.”
