Quotes
[edit]- Vegetarianism is a most simple thing, and I suppose it is because of its great simplicity that there exist so many misunderstandings about it. It is not an ideal in food and drink; it is an actuality which has proved widely beneficial; it is a reality, something which can be practiced—not something which can only be looked at with desire from a distance; but vegetarianism is a system or diet which leaves its adherents absolutely free, with one exception, to choose from all the entire range of food products which the world offers. The exception is that section of foods which are obtainable only by loss of life.
