「康奈爾大學和哈佛大學說對健康最佳的飲食中肉食數量恰恰為零。水是新的石油。各國很­快將為之而戰。有數百萬年之間來填滿的，地下蓄水層正在耗盡。需要50000 升的水才能生產1 公斤的牛肉。今天10 億人在挨餓，2000 萬人將死於營養不良，肉食減少10%，就能養活1 億人。

如果每個人都吃西式飲食，我們要兩個地球才能養活他們。我們只有一個地球，而她正在死­去。來自牲畜生產的溫室氣體比交通工具......飛機、火車、卡車和船隻多50% 。貧窮國家銷售他們的糧食到西方，同時他們自己的孩子卻餓死在他們的手裡，而我們將這­些糧食餵給牲畜。所以我們可以吃一塊牛排嗎？難道我是一個唯一認為這是犯罪的人嗎？每­一口我們吃的肉都抽在那些挨餓的孩子佈滿淚珠的臉上。當我看著她的眼睛時，我應該沉默­嗎？地球能產生足夠每人所需的食物，但滿足不了人們的貪婪。」

「喬治布希弄錯了，邪惡軸心國不是伊拉克或伊朗或朝鮮，它貫穿於我們餐桌，大規模殺傷­性武器是我們的刀和叉。」

非常精采的演講，以上摘自部份段落，演講時間約十分鐘，演講者為澳大利亞慈善家、花旗­銀行前副總裁 Philip Wollen，2012/03/20 在墨爾本市政廳 。

"Philip was vice president of Citibank, specialising in corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions.

At age 34, he was rated by Australian Business Magazine in their Top 40 Australian head-hunted executives. At age 40, he witnessed cruelty on such a colossal scale that it affected him profoundly. He decided to give away everything he owned with warm hands, and die broke. 'And so far, we are right on budget,' he jokes.

Today he devotes his life to children, animals, the environment, the terminally ill, the homeless and the arts. He supports over 500 humanitarian projects in over 40 countries with schools, orphanages, shelters, sanctuaries, clinics, and scholarships.

In 2005 he received the Order of Australia. In 2007 he was Australian of the Year, Victoria. The Australia Day Council said of him, 'Essentially a private man, Philip Wollen seeks no personal publicity but is not afraid to step into the limelight for a just cause.' "
