Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a fascinating analysis of the history and concepts relating to diet and dietary practice. From the era of Pythagoras through to the writings of contemporary food reformers, the author traces the evolution of vegetarianism and its modern manifestations including the 'pure fruit diet' and advocates of 'vital foods.' The book takes an objective look at the fallacies of vegetarianism and the historical evidence of the benefits of animal proteins while examining the arguments of vegetarians with an even-handed approach, considering everything from the ethics of meat consumption to the scientific evidence for and against an exclusive plant-based diet. This book is a valuable contribution to the literature on nutrition and a must-read for anyone interested in the history of food and the ongoing debate about the optimal human diet.
