The health implications of consuming either animal or plant-based nutrients were remarkably different. — T. Colin Campbell

By contrast, the late-modern and post-modern self has in essence no essence. To this fragmented, fluid and compartmentalized self, denial, far from being an aberration, is only to be expected.

The self could never be fully socialized; denial and self-deception are part of being human. — Stanley Cohen

That said, if one were to incorporate cannibalism into 'eating paleo,' it would be healthiest to eat people who strictly adhered to the guidelines in this book. — John Durant

The true man of science will know nature better by his finer organization; he will smell, taste, see, hear, feel, better than other men. His will be a deeper and finer experience. We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy. It is with science as with ethics,
