"I think of veganism humbly and holistically. It’s about taking personal responsibility in a world so full of needless suffering. It’s challenging one’s self to open one's eyes and question society's assumptions and habits. It’s about critical thinking and compassion and how we would like to see the world evolve." - Michael Greger MD, American lecturer and author
