Excerpt from The Herald of the Golden Age, Vol. 11: The Official Journal of the Order of the Golden Age, Founded to Proclaim a Message of Peace and Happiness, Health and Purity, Life and Power; October, 1906 Science unhesitatingly affirms man's strictly frugivorous nature and constitution; History asserts his food to have been the fruits of the earth, and testifies to the efficiency and preponderance of his non flesh eating ancestors and contemporaries; Ethics point to the immorality of depriving sentient beings of life without the slightest necessity therefor; Art is not found in the shambles; Hygiene dwells far from the putrefaction of undestroyed corpses; Economics, whether political or domestic, have nothing to say in favour of pastoralism and butchers' meat; Humanity denounces the pitiless cruelty and degradation of all that is implied in butchery; and strange and terrible would it be if Religion championed a practice which all these former principles united in condemning. We can lift ourselves up to what we idealise and aspire unto. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
