They vilify their own body by such harmful living habits that no wild animal will perpetuate against itself. Like the Temperance Society, the vegetarians, by harping on only one theme, defeat their own purpose. For, unless mankind is revolutionised into changing his whole mode of life and living mentality, morally and physically, a partial reform will only fail ultimately. Respect either for animals or humans, together with reverence for life, can only come if there is self-respect . Natural Hygiene embraces a vegetarian diet, believing that the natural diet of man is based on man being classified as a frugivore, but it goes beyond and embraces all other primordial requisites of life and health, which an ordinary vegetarian does not.
Vegetarianism goes so far and no further.
Giving up one kind of stimulation for another is a bad practice. Diet alone will not give us spirituality. Health and wholesomeness go together, physical health coupled with emotional and moral wellbeing, and together with intellectual and mental excellence, spell perfect manhood. This then is the fine contrast between the promise and the fulfilment.
