Shelley also wrote about how a vegetarian diet is better for the environment, noting: “the quantity of nutritious vegetable matter, consumed in fattening the carcase of an ox, would afford ten times the sustenance if gathered immediately from the bosom of the earth.”6 It is interesting to see how, despite being so long ago, Shelley touches on many of the modern arguments for a vegan diet.
