“There is probably more suffering in a glass of milk or an ice cream cone than there is in a steak.”

Context: There is no meaningful distinction between eating flesh and eating dairy or other animal products. Animals exploited in the dairy industry live longer than those used for meat, but they are treated worse during their lives, and they end up in the same slaughterhouse after which we consume their flesh anyway. There is probably more suffering in a glass of milk or an ice cream cone than there is in a steak.

“Censorship is telling a man he can't have a steak just because a baby can't chew it.”

Mark Twain (1835–1910) American author and humorist

“It should be noted that this duration is considerably longer than we naively expect. If two players with 500 dollars each toss a coin until one is ruined, the average duration of the game is 250,000 trials. If a gambler has only one dollar and his adversary has 1000, the average duration is 1000 trials.”

William Feller (1906–1970) Croatian-American mathematician
