First published in 1849, this vintage book contains an exposition of vegetarianism, with chapters on its history, nutritional value, scientific evidence and observations, and much more. "Vegetable Diet" will appeal to existing vegetarians and those considering the lifestyle alike, and it would make for a fantastic addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "Origin of this Work", "Letters to Dr. North", "Remarks on the Foregoing Letters", "Additional Intelligence", "Testimony of Other Medical Men, Both of Ancient and Modern Times", "Testimony of Philosophers and Other Eminent Men", "Societies and Communities on the Vegetable System", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on vegetarianism.

<p>Where can students in health class and general readers turn for accurate, dependable, fad-free information? This two-volume reference examines the relationship between food and health on a historical, national and personal level. It analyzes how nutrition has affected quality of life, health and fitness in various countries at different times in history.

Dietary trends within various cultures are also covered, ranging from the consumption habits of Asian-Americans to those of Central Europe to those customary of Pacific Islanders. <p>The set is rich in biographies of influential figures in the fields of nutrition and medicine such as McDonalds founder Ray Kroc&#x3b; Sylvester Graham, the creator of the now-famous Graham cracker&#x3b; and William Stark, a pioneer in early research into balanced diets. Profiles of major organizations such as UNICEF, the National Academy of Sciences and the World Health Organization complete this world guide to health and nutrition.
