Publisher's Synopsis
A Vindication of Natural Diet is a book written by Percy Bysshe Shelley and published in 1884. The book is an essay in which Shelley advocates for a vegetarian diet as the natural and most ethical way of eating. Shelley argues that humans are not naturally carnivorous and that the consumption of meat is harmful to both the individual and society as a whole. He also discusses the environmental impact of animal agriculture and the mistreatment of animals in the industry. Shelley's arguments are based on ethical, philosophical, and scientific principles, and he draws upon the work of other thinkers such as Pythagoras and Rousseau to support his claims. The book is considered a seminal work in the history of vegetarianism and animal rights, and it remains relevant today in discussions about sustainable and ethical food systems.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
