Vegetarian America - A History

Klappentext The first complete history of vegetarianism in the United States, this story reveals the people, the organizations, and the events from the late 1700s to the present. Despite generally held notions that today's vegetarianism sprang from 1960s counterculture and that prior to that its only advocates were fanatics and fringe groups, the Iacobbos explore strong movements in other historical eras, whose proponents included esteemed physicians, socialites, and other notable members of the establishment. Until now, no one has chronicled the contributions that advocates of vegetarianism have made to the American way of life in areas such as general eating habits, preventative medicine, feminism, environmental awareness, and elsewhere. Zusammenfassung The first complete history of vegetarianism in the United States, this book shatters the myth that past advocates were fanatics or the movement sprang from 1960s counterculture.
