Product Description
Vegetarianism is not a diet trend, or the flavor of the month. Instead, vegetarianism is a philosophy and practice with roots in antiquity. Vegetarianism has existed for centuries in much of the world as a social movement and subculture. In the United States, this subculture has existed for more than 200 years. In this book, the Iacobbos bring this thriving subculture to life, including its businesses, organizations, events, scholarship, influence on the arts, and the vegetarians and vegans themselves, who hold a variety of perspectives on everything from animal rights to advocacy, politics, and religion. It is printed on recycled paper.
