Tweetable Quotes
"You know, if people are really concerned about equity and you know, fairness and social justice topics, but yet they're advocating for a vegan diet, particularly within these like low-income groups, they're going to look back 20 years from now and this is going to be like giving pregnant moms thalidomide or something like that like they people are going to be horrified by this." - Robb Wolf
"If you cease to be able to ask the good questions. And so we will cease to make progress." - Robb Wolf
