William C. Roberts Quotes

Human beings are not natural carnivores. When we kill animals to eat them, they end up killing us because their flesh, which contains cholesterol and saturated fat, was never intended for human beings, who are natural herbivores.

In reality, low-income people are overweight more often than other Americans.
