"God's Dietary Will"

The vegetarians get a history of our own. Says the New Yorker: "Evidently on the side of history’s herbivores, [the writer] “outs” vegetarians as canonical thinkers who occasionally reduced their meat intake or advised others to do so; he judges the number of Enlightenment vegetarians to have been “incalculably large”; and he celebrates vegetarianism as the leading edge of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century thought."

I am on the leading edge of nineteenth-century enlightenment! What!
