Coles A Vindication of Natural Diet: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Percy Bysshe Shelley's Vindication of Natural Diet is a fervent, wide-ranging defense of vegetarianism that joins science, moral argument, and visionary idealism. Framed by an editor's account of the pamphlet's rarity and significance, the work reveals Shelley as a committed vegetarian for much of his life and a thinker who saw diet as inseparable from health, ethics, and social reform. He argues that the human body is naturally suited to a simple vegetable diet, and that meat-eating, alcohol, and other "civilized" appetites distort both physical well-being and moral character. Shelley extends this case through myth and history, tracing disease, vice, inequality, and tyranny to humanity's abandonment of natural living, and recasting Prometheus as a symbol of the fatal invention of flesh-eating. The pamphlet is enlivened by quotations from Shelley's poetry, which imagine a future free of bloodshed and cruelty, where humans and animals live in harmony. Historical examples, religious references, and personal testimony reinforce the claim that vegetarianism offers longevity, vigor, and a more humane society. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
