"The flesh of warmblooded animals is not essential as a diet for the purpose of maintaining the human body in perfect health... We have many substitutes for meat which are free from the deleterious effects of that food upon the animal economy—namely, in the production of rheumatism, gout and all other kindred diseases, to say nothing of cerebral congestion, which frequently terminates in apoplexy and venal diseases of one kind and another, migrain and many other such forms of headache resulting from the excessive use of meat, and often produced when meat is not eaten to excess."
