Please explain the meaning of the thought for Feb 11th:
'We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could. -James Cromwell, actor (b. 1940)'. Does this mean we should eat people with mobility challenges? I really would like to understand.
Rececntly another 'thought' about obesity was picked up on by one follower. I have a 5-page collection of quotes from AWordADay; this is certainly not a quote I will be saving.

this quote is often given at sites which are vegetarian or vegan or PETA related. does this help at all? (I think that Anu Garg is Vegan.)

Yes, it isn't easy. Sometimes when I make the wrong move even my lentils run away.

When my daughter was highchair age, she frequently had escape-peas.
Welcome, Claire. No, I don't think his comment has anything to do with disabilities. Look what I found in an on-line bio for him: Celebrity sponsor of the Great American Meatout, March 20, 2001.
Was arrested for trespassing during an animal rights demonstration in Virginia, targeting the name deleted 's fast food chain. He and four other PETA protesters refused to leave after urging patrons to boycott the restaurant. Cromwell was released on his own recognizance after about five hours. [3 July 2001]

We don't need to eat anyone who would run, swim, or fly away if he could. -James Cromwell
It could be an allusion to the survival of the fittest. Cull the weak?

People tend to eat what is most available, hence invasive species, and combed wild mushrooms. Personally, as I AM suddenly compelled to watch the news, I AM seriously in favor of legalizing the Opium Poppy, over introducing a different species to an already successful growing site. I can't seem to get the lovely flowers to set in myself.
