The Logic of Vegetarianism: Essays and DialoguesG. Bell and sons, 1906 - 116 páginas The Logic of Vegetarianism: Essays and Dialogues is a book written by Henry Stephens Salt in 1906. It is a collection of essays and dialogues that argue for the ethical and practical reasons for adopting a vegetarian lifestyle. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the moral and philosophical arguments for vegetarianism, while the second part focuses on the practical aspects of vegetarianism, such as nutrition and cooking.Throughout the book, Salt argues that the consumption of meat is not only unnecessary for human health, but also morally wrong due to the cruelty and exploitation involved in animal agriculture. He also critiques the arguments made by those who defend meat-eating, such as the idea that humans are biologically designed to eat meat, and argues that vegetarianism is a more rational and compassionate choice.The dialogues in the book are written in a conversational style, with Salt engaging in debates with fictional characters who represent different perspectives on vegetarianism. These dialogues provide a lively and engaging way to explore the various arguments for and against vegetarianism.Overall, The Logic of Vegetarianism is a thought-provoking and persuasive book that continues to be relevant today, as more and more people are turning to vegetarianism for ethical, environmental, and health reasons.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Página 60 - I like it, in which there is as much variety than in animal foods, so that the stomach need never be cloyed. I drink no wine nor any fermented liquors, and am rarely dry, most of my food being liquid, moist, or juicy. Only after dinner I drink either coffee or green tea, but seldom both in the same day, and sometimes a glass of soft, small cider. The thinner my diet, the easier, more cheerful and lightsome I find myself; My sleep is also the sounder, though perhaps somewhat shorter than formerly...
Página 55 - Slithered over bloody floor. Nearly broke neck in gore of old porker. Saw few hundred men slicing pigs, making hams, sausages and pork chops. Whole sight not edifying ; indeed, rather beastly. Next went to cattlekilling house. Cattle driven along gangway and banged over head with iron hammer. Fell stunned ; then swung up by legs and man cuts throats. Small army of men with buckets catching blood ; it gushed over them in torrents — a bit sickening. Next to sheep slaughter-house. More throatcutting...
Página 70 - All this talk about Vegetarianism being ' a matter of climate ' is pure humbug. The lust for flesh is a vicious habit everywhere, and nowhere a necessity, except where other food is not procurable.
