Memorable Quotes
- We kill more animals in one day than all the human beings who have lived in the history of the world. There is something wrong with that. - Jane Velez-Mitchell
- What's wrong with our society, particularly our healthcare system, is that it's all designed to wait for you to get sick and then treat you and medicate you for those illnesses. True doctors get precious little education in nutrition. - Jane Velez-Mitchell
- Medicine today is reactive and not proactive. You're paid for a sick patient. You're not paid for somebody who's well. And so the system is kind of jigged in a way where it's wrong. - Dung Trinh
- We should be in the front end with nutrition, prevention, and lifestyle recommendations as opposed to in the back end prescribing meds. - Dung Trinh
- There are 20 million people on the verge of starvation in Africa. The starvation crisis is out of control. But we are taking most of our food, or at least a good percentage, and feeding it to 80 billion animals - the most inefficient food system. So I get infuriated when people who are dealing with world hunger or local hunger give out meat to people. - Jane Velez-Mitchell
