Vegetarianism has existed for centuries in the world as a social movement and subculture. This book presents this thriving subculture, including its businesses, organizations, events, scholarship, influence on the arts, and the vegetarians and vegans themselves, who hold a variety of perspectives on animal rights, advocacy, politics, and religion.

The first complete history of vegetarianism in the United States, this book shatters the myth that past advocates were fanatics or the movement sprang from 1960s counterculture.
