A Vindication Of Natural Diet (1884)

By Henry Stephens Salt, William Edward Armytage Axon, Shelley Percy Bysshe

Book Overview

""A Vindication of Natural Diet"" is a philosophical essay written by Percy Bysshe Shelley in 1884. In this essay, Shelley argues that a plant-based diet is the most natural and healthy diet for humans. He criticizes the consumption of meat and animal products, arguing that it is not only unhealthy but also unethical. Shelley draws on various sources, including medical research and ethical philosophy, to support his argument. He also addresses common objections to a vegetarian diet, such as concerns about protein intake and the supposed superiority of meat-based diets. Throughout the essay, Shelley emphasizes the importance of compassion and respect for all living beings, and he argues that a plant-based diet is not only better for individual health but also for the health of the planet and all its inhabitants. Overall, ""A Vindication of Natural Diet"" is a passionate and thought-provoking defense of vegetarianism and an important contribution to the ongoing debate about the ethics and health implications of our food choices.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
