Remember Graham crackers? Veganism is the old temperance movement, which was about banning alcohol *and* meat. It keeps coming back to life thanks to Madison Avenue which always promoted it: Harper’s Magazine, January 1880, page 190: https://imgur.com/a/9S7r6qG
“Graham died, by no violence, in 1851, having by his Lectures on the Science of Human Life made numerous proselytes, not yet extinct; and if he failed to establish his system of dietetics, he at least favourably modified the prevailing habit by showing that muscular strength does not depend on the consumption of meat, by popularizing the unbolted flour to which his name was given, and generally by paving the way for the use of the coarser grains which now regularly appear on the most refined breakfast tables. His rank as a benefactor will not seem slight to those who reflect on the gain to public health and wealth resulting from the enlarged use of fruit and vegetables, and that variety which so distinguishes the American from the European menu.”
Word-for-word the same message…
Incredible podcast. The story deepens…I greatly appreciate understanding the broader history of how we got to where we are now. I would love to know more, though. Can you please post links to more resources that were mentioned? Such as the blog post they cite, any books, other blogs, authors/writers, websites, that basically discuss what they were saying, but in greater detail, depth, and with sources? And are you considering making transcripts ever? Thank you! Recently started listening and love your podcast.
