“Intendo dire che noi in America siamo ancorati all'idea di automobili a benzina perché ci illudiamo che il petrolio costi poco. Allo stesso modo restiamo ancorati all'idea di una dieta centrata su carni di animali nutriti a cereali, perché pensiamo che i cereali siano a buon prezzo.”

“For every 16 pounds of grain and soy fed to beef cattle in the United States we only get 1 pound back in meat on our plates.

“Yet many Americans who have reluctantly given up their gas-guzzling cars would never think of questioning the resource costs of their grain-fed-meat diet. So let me try to give you some sense of the enormity of the resources flowing into livestock production in the United States.
