With clear logic and entertaining dialogues, the author presents many reasons for a vegetarian rather than a "flesh-eating" diet, and his arguments for not eating meat are as compelling today as when they were written.
Henry Stephens Salt (20 September 1851-19 April 1939) was an English writer and campaigner for social reform in the fields of prisons, schools, economic institutions, and the treatment of animals. He was a noted ethical vegetarian, anti-vivisectionist, socialist, and pacifist, and was well-known as a literary critic, biographer, classical scholar, and naturalist. It was Salt who first introduced Mohandas Gandhi to the influential works of Henry David Thoreau and influenced Gandhi's study of vegetarianism.
With an insightful introduction by vegetarian advocate Vrnda Devi.
