More quotes by Otoman Zar-Adusht Ha'nish

If eating meat why not eat the most highly organised form of meat, which is not beef or mutton, but human flesh? If you still believe in the eating of flesh, then you must admit that at least as far as the fitness of food is concerned the cannibal has the best of the argument.

Mazdaznan Dietetics and Cookery Book (1913)

These people do not understand that there are men in the business who have made an effort to increase their stock by forced means.
