Interview with Rynn Berry in The Vegetarians https://books.google.it/books?id=vK_uAAAAMAAJ (1979), p. 64<!-- Brookline, MA: Autumn Press --> <br class="br">Context: Man is innately a creature of love. That love is the most powerful force in the universe, and eventually — it's a very slow process — it will conquer.

The people of the future will say “meat-eaters!” in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism.
