This time in Who Said That! a quote from a Jewish writer who shared a harsh past with his people, but emigrated to America before things got really bad in Europe. Remember to  s c r o l l  down very slowly so you won’t reveal who said that ahead of time!

I did not become vegetarian for my health,

I did it for the health of the chickens.

And who was it again that said that?

This person was for the last 35 years of his life a fervant Jewish vegetarian. He wrote about the compassion for animals in many of his books and is best known as a writer of short stories, many of which have been translated from the original Yiddish that he always wrote in.

And the person is none other than

Isaac Bashevis Singer (1902-1991), the Polish-American writer who in 1978 received the Nobel Prize for literature.
