THE VEGAN GREEN BOOK
The book begins by tracing the historical roots of vegetarianism, arguing that this knowledge is key to understanding the diet’s principles. It identifies ancient Egypt as one of the earliest origins, where certain religious sects avoided meat and animal products due to a belief in reincarnation.
The narrative then moves to ancient Greece, highlighting the mathematician and philosopher Pythagoras as a key figure. He promoted vegetarianism not just as a diet but as a moral imperative for being a good person and achieving peace.
Finally, the text provides a counterpoint by discussing ancient Rome, which rejected the Greek idea of vegetarianism. The Romans viewed animals pragmatically as sources of both food and public entertainment, establishing a cultural contrast that has persisted through history.
In essence, the book frames modern vegetarian cooking within a long-standing historical debate about ethics, morality and humanity’s relationship with animals.
