以下是我在美國素食網http://www.goveg.com/ 看到的資料，希望對妳有幫助



名人們對素食的看法（重新整理）:



托爾斯泰 Leo Tolstoy （蘇俄人，1828-1920）

「一個人不需要殺害動物而獲得健康；所以，如果他吃肉，他只是為了自己的口腹之欲而吃。這樣做是不道德的。」

"A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral." - Leo Tolstoy, On Civil Disobedience



愛因斯坦 Albert Einstein （美國人，1879-1955）

「沒有任何東西比成為蔬食者更能改善人類健康，和地球上生命的存活率了」

"Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." - Albert Einstein



「這是我的觀點：　蔬食生活對人類氣質的具體影響，對整個人類都有好處」

"It is my view that the vegetarian manner of living by its purely physical effect on the human temperament would most beneficially influence the lot of mankind." - Albert Einstein, letter to Vegetarian Watch-Tower, December 27, 1930



愛麗絲華克 Alice Walker （The Color Purple 作者，得過普立茲獎，1944-）

「動物的存在有他們自己的原因。他們不是為了人類而被創造，就像黑人不是為了白人而被創造，女人不是為了男人而被創造。」

"The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for whites or women for men." - Alice Walker.



金貝辛格 Kim Basinger （1953-）

「如果你能看到或感覺到痛苦，你不會有一點猶豫。讓生命自由，別吃肉。」

"If you could feel or see the suffering, you wouldn't think twice. Give back life. Don't eat meat." - Kim Basinger　



羅素賽門 Russell Simmons （Def Jam創始人，1957-）

「虐待就是虐待，不管是虐待小孩，虐待老人，虐待貓狗，或是虐待雞。」

"Cruelty is cruelty, whether it’s cruelty to children, to the elderly, to dogs and cats, or to chickens." - Russell Simmons



帕米拉安德森 Pamela Anderson （演過電視劇Bay Watch，1967-）

「雞，豬和其他的動物，都是有個性，有智力的個體．．．人們必須了解，他們吃動物的同時就是在鼓勵虐待動物。」

"Chickens, pigs, and other animals … are interesting individuals with personalities and intelligence. … What people need to understand is that if they're eating animals, they are promoting cruelty to animals." - Pamela Anderson



卡麥蓉狄亞 Cameron Diaz （哈啦瑪麗女主角，1972-）

當她知道豬有如同三歲小孩的心智能力時，卡麥蓉狄亞驚訝地說「天啊，這像是在吃我的姪女！」，從此她就成為蔬食者了

When she learned that pigs have the same mental capacity as 3-year-old children, Cameron Diaz exclaimed, "Oh my God, it's like eating my niece!" She has since gone vegetarian.



傑昆費尼可斯 Joaquin Phoenix （為你鍾情男主角，1974-）

「動物的權利是我每天生活的一部分。當你以自己的生活作為一個典範，你會創造某種程度的覺醒。我的朋友們只因為看到我吃蔬食（並沒有和我討論過動物權利或蔬食）也開始嘗試蔬食的習慣。」

"Animal rights is a part of my everyday life. When you live by example, you create a certain level of awareness. Friends of mine—people I have never discussed animal rights or vegetarianism with—are adopting vegetarian habits because they see it." - Joaquin Phoenix



托比麥奎爾 Tobey McGuire （蜘蛛人男主角，1975-）

「因為我是蔬食者，對我來說減肥，比為了拍攝蜘蛛人２而增肥容易多了。而且吃太飽的感覺很不舒服。」

"It was a lot easier for me to lose the weight rather than putting it back on when I had to start shooting Spider-Man 2 because I'm a vegetarian, and it feels uncomfortable if you feel you're eating too much." - Tobey McGuire



艾利希亞席維史東 Alicia Silverstone （獨領風騷女主角，1976-）

「如果人們以愛心與農場動物相處一段時間．．．一隻豬，或牛，或雞，或火雞，他們會發現自己對這些動物的感情就像對貓狗一樣。只因為這些動物被裝在餐盤裡，人們就不去深思，為什麼這些動物是食物，而別的動物是寵物呢？我永遠也不會去吃我的狗兒們。」

"Once people spend time with farm animals in a loving way ... a pig or cow or a little chicken or a turkey, they might find they relate with them the same way they relate with dogs and cats. People don't really think of them that way because they're on the plate. Why should they be food when other animals are pets? I would never eat my doggies." - Alicia Silverstone
