*
Made 3,800 basketball free throws in 12 hours, with 96 pc hit rate.
*
Swam 500 miles in 11 days, down a river to the ocean.
*

*
Skipped rope 100,000 times in 23 hours.
*
Swam 68 miles in a swimming pool without a sleeping break.

The Question Of Hitler
Peter Singer re Hitler's vegetarianism:
If Hitler had a nose, should I cut off mine?
Hitler though he did not eat flesh got bull testicle shots,
bombed untold millions of animals, provided animal flesh for the Germany
army, yet one of his last acts was to free the animals of the Berlin Zoo
that they be on their own in trying to escape Churchill's civilian bombings.
Hitler was responsible for the deaths
of billions of animals.
Churchill was not a vegetarian but instructed his butler (rather than himself)
to put a ladybug outside.

The quotes of many women are contained at http://www2.acorn.net/doc/avquotes.doc
(or the quotes section on the home page). Thank you to Dudley Giehl,
founder of Animal Liberation, who published 36 quotes in 1970 and to Gentle
World for these particular quotes which were published in 1988.
Buddha: All beings tremble before violence. All fear death. All love life.
See yourself in others. Then whom can you hurt? What harm can you do?
Leo Tolstoy: Vegetarianism serves as the criterion by which we know that
the pursuit of moral perfection on the part of humanity is genuine and
sincere.
Francis of Assisi: Animals have the same source as we had. Like us, they
derive the life of thought, will, and love from the Creator.
Plato: The gods created certain kinds of beings to replenish our bodies..
they are the trees and the plants and the seeds.
Rabindranath Tagore: We manage to swallow flesh, only because we do not
think of the cruel and sinful thing we do. If after our pity is aroused,
we persist in throttling our feelings simply in order to join others
in preying upon life, we insult all that is good in us. I've decided
to try a vegetarian diet.
Gretchen Wyler: In December I shall celebrate 20 years of vegetarianism.
Having excluded dead animals from my diet, I feel more alive physically and
spiritually.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: You have just dined and however scrupulously the
slaughterhouse is concealed in a graceful distance of miles, there is
complicity.
Pythagoras: Alas, what wickedness to have one living creature fed by the
death of another.. in the midst of such wealth as Earth, the best of
Mothers, provides.
Porphyry: He who abstains from anything animate.. will be much more careful
not to injure those of his own species.
Alexander Pope: I cannot think it extravagant to imagine that mankind are
no less, in proportion, accountable to the ill use of their dominion
over the lower ranks of beings than for the exercise of tyranny over their
own species. The more extremely the inferior creation is submitted to
our power, the more answerable we must seem for the mismanagement of them.
H G Wells: In all the round world of Utopia, there is no meat. There used
to be, but now, we cannot stand the thought of slaughterhouses. (In Utopia)
Posted by sb11 on 08-31-2006 04:21 PM:
Lew Ayres: star of All Quiet On The Western Front, an antiwar movie
of many decades ago: I am vegetarian because I abhor the treatment
of simpler life forms. There may have been a time and place when mankind
needed animal flesh to survive. That time is neither here nor now. Ultimately
vegetarianism cannot fail to prevail.
Ally Sheedy: I am a vegetarian because the honor love and respect I have
for my brother and sister animals and for the whole world is a reflection
of the love I have for the divine spark within us.
Bob Barker: Let's not eat anything that had a mother and a father.
George Bernard Shaw (in the last century): The average
Dennis Weaver: Common sense tells me that vegetables and fruits are
more natural foods for peple to eat, rather than meat. No one wants
to live next to a slaughterhouse, but we enjoy a little garden patch or
peach tree in our yard.
UNVERIFIED: B B King and Madonna, it is reported, wants to open a
vegetarian chain.
* until his later years in Paris where he said venison and venery
did him in
** While neither Thomas Jefferson nor Brigham Young were totally
vegetarian, both advised that meat should be used sparingly as a
condiment.
*** Newton promoted vegetarian diet in his writings
! Paul Newman, says Jay Dinshah of American Vegan Soc., promised his
wife as a New Year's Resolution to become vegetarian. His 2 vegetarian
daughters were also urging this.
#### Rep. Dennis Kucinich, highly respected member of the House of Rep,
stated on Ch 19 Cleveland that he eats no meat, turkey or chicken.
*%*%*: Thank you to Henner and Seinfeld for making people laugh.
Mary Lu Henner eats no meat or dairy but eats fish and eggwhites.
Jerry Seinfeld occasionally showed his cast eating fish in his sitcom.
Terry Garr publicly opposes fur, has not yet made the plunge.
We mention this only because both have promoted fisheating on television.
**** Please ask the pet store you might patronize to carry vegetarian
petfood.
***** The Villcabamba of Ecuador, the Hunzas of Tibet, the Azerbaijans
of the Caucasus are centenarian vegetarian peoples.
There are 200 to 300 million vegetarians in India, but that is
a minority of the Indian population
****** Peter Sellers had a brief lapse on his honeymoon.. plane
oysters.. which made him violently ill.
People love Peter Sellers not because of his diet or his romantic history
but because Peter communicated that he loved us and wanted to lift our
spirits through laughter.
(Dave Scott, winner of the Iron Man athletic contest, eats a little
fish but no red or white meat.)
******* One of Walt Rave's oil paintings was of a farmer who loved his
cow.. tears streaming down his face as he hugged her goodbye for he
saw no other way.
** Barbara Walters who in 1970 questioned giving milk to her baby daughter

c. Ted Nugent.. that the arrows of his bow and arrow hunting be turned
into the laser beams of public leadership in nonviolence
d. The Mormon Church is the biggest supplier of U.S. nuts. May its
business in nuts grow.. and may it divest itself of the world's
biggest cattle ranch (says Time Magazine of August 97).. 312,000
acres of the Desert Ranch near Orlando. If it is planted in
nut and fruit trees and the cows allowed to live out their lives
among the trees, the world will be a better place.

So LDS are catching up.
(The average vegetarian Adventist lives 7 years longer than the average
nonvegetarian Mormon. These 2 groups were selected for an over decade

e. May any religious group invested in businesses which harm people or
animals divest of those businesses.
May none be punished. May all be healed by the change which comes
from nonviolent compassion.
How we invest our dollars is how we vote with our souls..
When we are held accountable for our investments, good change

wow, that's a lot of veggies. Thanks sb11. By any chance do you happen to be a vegetarian, vegan or fruitarian? I'm a fruitarian, and I've never met any others in my entire life. I keep hoping...
Anyway, I thought I'd mention one caution. Even though these people were vegs, many of them were bad people, so it is dangerous to blindly admire them for their diet (just like it's dangerous to blindly disparage all meat-eaters).
Example: Thomas Edison was an animal abuser. He experimented on dogs and cats with his electrical obsessions. He even electrocuted an elephant to death in 1903 to show off his great discovery. He filmed it:
http://imdb.com/title/tt0231523/
True, most vegs I've met are respectable, benevolent folks. But some suck! Cheers.

the fruit gifts of the plant which
do not involve killing it.

lol, some of my favourite animals are carnivores (wolves, seals & whales) so I won't hold it against you :P
Like sb11 says in the post above, fruitarians are people (or animals) who eat only the products of plants without killing or harming the plant itself.
Fruit = the reproductive offshoot of a plant, so that includes yummy stuff like eggplant, beans, nuts, tomatoes, grains and my favourite... cocoa (chocolate)! So it's not as hard as you think. A lot of people are mostly fruitarian, and they don't even realize it

Why did you become fruitarian?
Funny story... initially it was only for health reasons. I was suffering from stage 2 hypertension (HIGH blood pressure), and the only way to clean myself out was to go on an extreme juice fast for a week.
Not only did it fix my blood pressure, it fixed everything else that was wrong (headaches, lethargy, depression), so I decided I'd never go back to eating the other stuff.
Only later did I realize that I was helping animals & plants by not eating them. A nice added bonus. And ancient hindus/buddhists say it also leads to clarity of thought and spiritual purity... I haven't quite gotten there yet, but I'm hoping! :P

Total yummsville! Raw avocado rocks. It made my skin all smooth again, and it made my hair grow back (yeah I was in bad shape 6 years ago). Soybean margarine & coconut icecream... I never thought of that, but I'm going to try it now!
Thanks for the links. I think I'll join those groups. There are a lot of questions I still have... like what do fruitarians use for shampoo, etc. It'll be nice to get some fresh ideas.
Best of luck with your fruitarianism. The hardest part is finding good restaurants. And friends who don't make fun of you for eating "horse food" lol

I could live on nuts (especially cashews!), so maybe I am a closet fruitarian too. So let me get this right. Carrots are not allowed, because you have to 'kill' the plant in order to eat it. Yes?

I love cashews!! They are expensive here too. But I always keep an eye out for when they go on sale. I haven't had macadamia nuts for a very long time, because they are even more expensive. But I could live on them too! In the interim, peanuts are good. I am growing them in our garden, but don't know if they will succeed here in Michigan. It's an experiment!

Hey soupy, yay for unity! I am so glad that beer is fruitarian and if we should ever meet, we could enjoy a Guinness.
And I promise I won't look at you weird. Anyone who likes cashews is just fine in my book. And the reason why I enjoy hearing from you is that you deliver your message while being tolerant of carnivores like me. You say your piece without being end-of-the-world accusatory like sb11. Thanks!

re Castro vegetarianism:
Frederik Balfour in Business Week:
A circulating joke is that Castro is on a state visit to China, where his hosts present him with a rare elephant. He makes the perfect pet, they say. He's a vegetarian, is extremely intelligent, and will live to be at least 100. Ah, he is such a beautiful gift, but regrettably I cannot accept him, Castro laments. I would be heartbroken when he dies.

Hindu Fruitarians
Rama considered by Hindus an avatar or the incarnation on earth of God as Divine Father or Mother was during exile in the forest for 14 years mostly fruitarian, supplementing his diet with roots.
Biblical Examples
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden were supposedly Fruitarians (Behold I have given you herb yielding seed. To you it shall be for meat; Genesis l:29).
A "lost" gospel, the Essene Gospel of Peace, claims that the Essenes were raw foodists and Fruitarians[6]. The only person claiming to have seen the original manuscript, Edmond Bordeaux Szekely, continues to publish new portions of this text, well after his death in 1979.
Some scholars believe Jesus was an Essene who practiced a mainly fruitarian diet, although this contradicts the mainline Bible (Matthew 15:34-37) and some scholarship on the Essenes. http://groups.msn.com/christianveg

Many notable advocates of fruitarianism in the past, include Johnny Lovewisdom, Walter Siegmeister/Raymond Bernard, and Viktoras Kulvinskas
* Vitamin B12 While the dairy industry claims that vegans and fruitarians have B12 deficiency, the more alkaline intestinal tracts of those two groups are able to metabolize
B12. Unlike nonvegetarians and dairy vegetarians whose B12 is cyanocobalamin, the B12 of fruitarians and vegans is more efficient, producing more red blood cells per cubic centimeter, giving their blood a more purplish hue.
* Sugar While some criticize fruitarian diet in regards
to sugar, the natural fructose in fruits has monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, which are time encapsulated energy giving the body an even flow of energy very different from the immediately metabolizable sugar.
Fruits are lower in proteins than many animal products. While
the animal agriculture nutritionists cite this, vegan physicians state that nonvegetarians eat too much protein, that carnivores have five times human kidney size per pound of body weight. http://www.pcrm.org Nuts, seeds, and pulses are notable exceptions. Additionally, some fruitarians restrict their diets to so-called culinary fruits, rejecting nuts, pulses, and "vegetable" fruits (tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, etc.)

FOUR HAZARDS OF THE SEA
For fishes, turtles octopi, whales, clams, lobsters,
all swimming and crawling sea creatures, there
are so many hazards in the sea.
1 There are long line fish nets.. some more than 40
miles long.. choking and suffocating and strangling
and smothering every being pulled in.
Their corrolaries are hooks.
2 There is sonar which has killed so many whales and dolphins
as their ears explode. Sonar disorients nearly every creature
of the sea.
3 There are chemicals.. and other poisons.. and filth
.. human waste, the waste of pig farms from Virginia
and the Carolinas.. female hormones .. from trillions
of factory farm urine..which deform the fish.. and pcb's, arsenic, chromium, and plastic.. tens of thousands
of chemical pollutants choking and poisoning and
suffocating the fish.
4 There are propellers of boats whcih slice and dice
the sea animals, causing them quickly or slowly to die.
When humans eat the fish, says Dick Gregory, it is like
eating the filter out of a car. They are at the top
of the sea's food chain.
Choking on meat and fish is the 6th major cause of
accidental death.
The eating of fish cadavers is the primary cause
of stomach cancer. The countries with the highest
fish consumption have the most stomach cancer.
The mercury and heavy metals cause brain damage
and arthritis.
While the list of toxins in the eating of mammals
and birds is longer, and its hazards greater,
fish too have a right to be left alone.

God bless you Walter Matthau for letting fish go in the movies Pete & Tillie
and Grumpier Old Men.. God let no one ever again catch a fish to eat him, to
mount him on the wall, to research on her, or to put her back or any other reason.
