Some of The First Ever Magazines For Vegetarian Children
These were produced in London.
The London Vegetarian Society was the ?most vegan? group in the UK at this time.
Henry S. Salt & Ernest Bell were writing about 100% vegetable diets.
A ?vegan? recipe book was published in London in 1910 ? No Animal Food And Nutrition And Diet With Vegetable Recipes by Rupert H. Wheldon
A battered & bruised little item in our Ernest Bell Library.
Almost as rare as rocking horse s7!t!
The Children?s Garden ? subtitled ? Magazine of the Juvenile Vegetarian Movement, ? Nos. 1 to 12 ? Vol. 1 ? January to December 1900 ? The Ivy Leaf Society, London.
From Frances L. Boult?s 1906 introduction to this, the first ever magazine for vegetarian children (see update ? below).
~ The world is slowly beginning to recognise that Vegetarianism is no Fad, but a great Truth, the keynote of which is Love. We find the unperverted taste of a child is nearly always opposed to flesh food, and the daily experience of half the world at least, shows that it is not necessary for health and strength. A great scientist has said, ?The Future is with the Vegetarians,? and if this be so, the way thereto is surely through the children.
We plead, therefore, for the purer and more humane diet for the young. We desire to show parents the danger of stimulating food and drink in fostering evil passions. ~
?The Future is with the Vegetarians,? ? this is a famous quote from Professor Rudolph Carl Virchow (13 October 1821 ? 5 September 1902) ? a German doctor, anthropologist, pathologist, prehistorian, biologist and politician, known for his advancement of public health. Referred to as ?the father of modern pathology?, he is considered one of the founders of social medicine.
