"Are your chickens raised without the use of growth hormones?"

"Sure, organic free-range poultry is more expensive, but consider all the guilt you're saving."

"On second thought, just give me the ham and forget the roast beef."

'But darling, he doesn't kill the cows.'

"Being vegan or vegetarian isn't enough anymore. From now on I will only cook stuff I stepped in on the sidewalk."

"I don't know what it is, but I think you can sleep well knowing it's locally grown."

What do you mean you prefer the sound of the sign of the right?! What part of 'either way we're dead' do you not understand?
