WWII Era Peaceful Humorous Veggies – American Vegetarian Party – The American Vegetarian Magazine

We love eccentric vegetarian folk! Here is a post remembering E. L. Pratt, John Maxwell & Symon Gould – 3 very focused US & British veg-evangelizers – active in the 1930s, 1940s & 1950s. Wonderfully extreme! They each exhibited / practiced full-on veg-enthusiasm. Plus we will share 3 related circa 1947 Cinderella stamps promoting vegetarianism. They are being lovingly cared for in the Ernest Bell Library. …… “Many meat-eating persons…

“Light in Dark Places: Anti-Vivisection from the Victorian Era to Modern Day”

In this post I really wanted to ‘expand’ the famous 1913 photo – just having names underneath was not enough for me – these were incredible personalities & they have been almost forgotten – some don’t even have their own Wikipedia pages yet. Bob Ingersoll & his team / family members greatly influenced Henry S. Salt & Ernest Bell & ………..so many others. Lizzy Lind af-Hageby was quite remarkable. The…

Donald Watson Article – Spring 1948 – The Vegan Magazine

The Ernest Bell Library has a passion for sharing excellent quality vegan articles / items – making them easily available to 21st C folk. Most early books & magazines on veganism were originally only published in the hundreds or in the low-thousands of copies. Wars, weather, insects, careless humans, etc. have combined to make many of them very hard to find. Photo – Donald Watson reads the 1st ever copy of The Vegan…

LIVING THE SIMPLE LIFE – By Dugald Semple – Vegan 108 Years Ago

~ Personally, I began rather drastically over 50 years ago by cutting out not only all meat or flesh foods, but milk, eggs, butter, tea and coffee. Cheese I have never eaten; indeed I hate the very smell of this decayed milk. Next, I adopted a diet of nuts, fruit, cereals and vegetables. On this Edenic fare I lived for some ten years, and found that my health and strength…

Gracias Madre Takes Root in WEHO

Gracias Madre embodies the true nature of this earth: giving, feeding, nurturing, loving, and is a reminder of how beautiful creation is. Los Angeles gratefully welcomed the long-awaited extra heat to their palates in mid-January with nearly 600 people clamoring to get a taste of cuisine inspired by the kitchens in Mexico with locally sourced, organic ingredients. Not to discount the abundance of incredible Mexican street food, this health conscious city has a love for…

Asenath Nicholson – ‘Vegan in New York’ in the 1830s – Missionary, Philanthropist And Traveler

I add bold red to some text to emphasize vegan-ness. J ___________________________________________ ~ “My reason for objecting to every species of matter to be used as food, except the direct produce of the earth – as maybe seen in my last publication – is founded on the broad ground that no other matter is suited to the organs of man. This applies then with the same force to eggs, milk, cheese, and fish,…

“This is My Rutabaga…It’s Very Special To Me”

“This is my rutabaga…It’s very special to me…” this pronouncement from 7 year-old Joe, one of my 2nd grade boys, made in the usual trailing interrogatory prosody of “sharing time,” our version of show-and-tell. The typical array of items carried carefully into school by the hands of doting parents or shoved in the bottom of backpacks ranges from trophies and vacation pictures and art projects to more exotic artifacts like…
