VZ 075: A Brief History of Vegetarianism
If you think vegetarianism is just a “hippie” movement from the 1960s then you’re way off! Â Vegetarianism developed as a philosophy as long ago as the ancient Greeks, as you’ll hear in this episode of the Vegetarian Zen Podcast. Â We’ll discuss the first vegetarian societies, the influence of nineteenth and twentieth century writers and food manufacturers, and more.
