| "When I tell people that I don’t eat meat fish or dairy they always seem to ask the same question "What do you eat then?". As if they imagined me only eating grass. So I decided to make a song informing the people about the various foods vegans can eat. Here’s a Sample:" |

Other quotes by Macka.B:
| "it is not religious; religion is always trying to control people, I am advising and showing people that there is an alternative. Most people don’t relate the food on their plate to the living animal that it once was and most people could not kill the animal and then eat it, so deep down they know something is not right. At the end of the day it is their choice, but they are only given one side of the coin to choose from. That is where I come in, to show them the flip side of the coin, that is why I called the song 'wha ME Eat'." |
| "I have been to many countries where people eat a lot of meat and their country is abundant with so many fruit and vegetables it’s unbelievable, they don’t realise what is right under their nose. Also, some of the most nutritional food on the planet is in the sea (spirulina. kelp, dulse etc), but the people are not aware of it." |
| "my nickname was Macka and when I was looking for a stage name I put on the B because of the Maccabbes from the Bible who were holy warriors, but as wisdom and knowledge increased I realised that a lot of the Bible has been plagiarised. But sometimes your subconscious mind does things that your conscious mind is not aware of. So I was amazed to find out that in the Akan language of Ghana Macka.B (they spell it maka bi) means one who has his say and I truly have my say." |
| "I strongly believe that we are not really supposed to eat meat and that man only started eating it because of certain circumstances, and those circumstances do not necessary prevail today." |
