Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Effect of a Strictly Vegetable Diet on the Spontaneous Activity, the Rate of Growth, and the Longevity of the Albino Rat
Vegetarianism as used by most people is a misnomer. The larger proportion of the so-called vegetarians partake freely of such animal foods as milk, eggs, butter, cheese and the like. A few, the fruitarians, live wholly on nuts and fresh fruits. Another small group live on nuts, fruits, legumes and vegetables, either in the raw or cooked state. The much larger number of vegetarians live on a mixed diet which dif fers from the ordinary mixed diet in only one respect - the absence of meat.
