The logic of Vegetarianism

"An examination of the structure of the human body leads to the conclusion that man is intended by mature to live on a vegetable diet. There is the closest affinity between the organs of the human body and those of the fruit-eating animals. The monkey, for instance is so similar to man in shape and structure, and it is a fruit-eating animal. Its teeth and stomach are just like the teeth and stomach of man, while those of carnivorous animals, as for instance, the lion and tiger, are entirely different."

Physiological Comparisons

Meat-Eater
- has claws
- on skin pores, perspires through tongue
- Sharp front teeth for tearing, on flat molar teeth for grinding
- intestinal tract 3 times body length so rapidly decaying meat can pass out quickly

Man
- no claws
- perspires through pores
- no sharp front teeth, has flat rear molars
- intestinal tract 12 times body length
- stomach acid 20 times less strong than meat-eaters

Herbivore
- no claws
- perspires through skin pores no sharp front teeth, has flat rear molars
- intestinal tract 10-12 times body length
- stomach acid 20 times less strong than meat-eaters

The Stamina of a Camel, The Strength of an Elephant, and The Beauty of a Horse are all sustained on a Vegetarian Diet.
