“It is certainly preferable to raise vegetables, and I think,
therefore, that vegetarianism is a commendable departure from the
established barbarous habit. That we can subsist on plant food and
perform our work even to advantage is not a theory, but a
well-demonstrated fact. Many races living almost exclusively on
vegetables are of superior physique and strength. There is no doubt
that some plant food, such as oatmeal, is more economical than meat,
and superior to it in regard to both mechanical and mental
performance. [...] In view of these facts every effort should be
made to stop the wanton and cruel slaughter of animals, which must
be destructive to our morals.”
Physicist and inventor (1856-1943)
