Mango Wodzak, The Eden Fruitarian Guidebook

"No decent person deliberately chooses to be violent or cruel. We must remove our blinkers and learn that in order to live according to our true values, we need to stop viewing animals as commodities to be used, abused and killed for our own selfish benefit."

"How can there ever be any serious expectation of living in paradise, if one cannot behave appropriately, or be trusted to respect and honour all life?"

"By saying that human issues are more important than non-human issues, that violence to humans is more relevant than violence to animals, one forgets that the animal liberation movement implies a message of peace for every being on earth and the opposition against the mindset of oppression. To make a distinction between one violence and another is exactly the root of all violence: Some wouldn't do any harm to those who share with them a flag, a religion, a language, etc. but would easily condemn to suffering and death those who are different. This tragic use of diversity as an excuse to inflict pain on others for a matter of profit and convenience is the cause of suffering for both human and non-human animals."

"The question isn't why organic food is so darned expensive, it's really about why chemically sprayed, poisoned food is so cheap."

"There are always unfavourable consequences to consuming unnatural foods."

"Pharmaceutical quick fixes are not what you need, you must face up to your symptoms and acknowledge this is not just random victimisation. Every symptom has its reasons."

"We will never know true bliss while our lifestyles are reliant on the misery and suffering of others."

"There was a young lady called Peaches,who simply loved animals to pieces. She ate pigs and sheep,and for cows she would weep,when baked in a sauce of rich greases."

"Truth, simplicity and love. These are the three main aspects of Eden Fruitarianism which the acolyte seeks to embrace, expand and better understand."

"The bigger the corporation, the bigger the corruption. The more invisible the corporation, the more malicious it is."

"Face your true self. You're reaction when facing any animal is much more likely to be Ahh, cute than Yum, dinner!"

"Selling cakes and pies to raise money for research into cancer or any other health related issue, is like selling meat at a campaign to raise awareness about the environment."

"While most people love certain species to pieces (e.g. cats and dogs), others are more loved in pieces (e.g. cows and pigs)"

"Sometimes I think humans have a common sense that completely defies logic."

"Animal welfarism is a blatant lie. Anyone who truly cares for the welfare of another, would never dream of exploiting them. For just as when slavery is deeply set into the psyche of a nation, those crying for slave welfare and not abolitionism, argue in favour of slavery and exploitation, and thus push eventual abolitionism further into the future."

"Certain actions bring harm, other more wizened actions bring harmony."

"Violence is weakness. True strength comes not through brutality and savagery, but through tenderness, mercy and grace."
