LIFE BEGINS
AT .FORIY
BY Robert Peterson

AS one who relishes steaks
and chops, I've often wonder
ed what gives with the vege-
tartan set. So / grabbed the
chance the other day to talk
with Symon Gould, sc, who
was in the press last fall as
the Vegetarian Party's candi-
date for the u. S. Presidency.
Many people become vege-
tarians for humanistic reason" ="
said this slender, pink-cheek-
ed man who has the quiet,
scholarly mien of a philosop-
her. "They turn to this way OF
life when they contemplate
the vast, incredible slaughter
of innocent animals which
goes on daily to meet the de-
mands of the meat eating
population.
Others become vegetarians
for health reasons. They may
have read about the values OF
vegetarianism or they may
have personally discovered
that they feel better when
they restrict their diet to
fruits and vegetables. I've
been a vegetarian ever since /

asked in what respects
vegetarlans find meat harm
1ul. We believe the uric acids
In meat are harmful to human
tissues, that meat is more diff
1lcult to digest and eliminate,
that it places an unnatural
ouroen on the organs, that it
causes residues to accumulate
IN the body which lead to
chronic diseases, and that it
IS a causative factor in various
forms OF heart disease.
It's well-known, of course,
tnat vegetarians are largely
immune from high blood pres
sure and rarely suffer coron-
ary attacks.
Some people believe that
meats are essential to a bal
anced diet. But this is definite
ly untrue vegetables and
fruits provide all the elements
required for bodily needs"

ed fruit -- preferably fresh
fruits in season such as blue

For dinner I have a bowl OF

vegetables, such as lettuce,

beans. eat the vegetables raw
or perhaps boiled in water
with no butter.

fast. Once a year | retreat to

This gives Nature a chance to
roll up its sleeves and conduct

wonderful time to think and
write. When you are fasting
your body requires little sleep
and exercise, and your mind
becomes astonishingly clear.
In a century or two most
humans will be vegetarians."
he concluded confidently. Tn
creasing numbers of studies
are showing the values of a
vegetarian diet.
And with an expanding pop
ulation vegetables will event
ually become the primary
form of food. Each year pas
ture lands diminish and it is
matter of record that an acre
of animal pasture can produce
ten times as much human food
if planted in vegetables"
