Vegetarianism

Book Description

In the distant past, making food choices was easy—people ate whatever food was available. When and where food became more plentiful, people were able to be more discerning about what they wanted to eat. Personal ethics and preferences guided people’s dietary decisions. They still do today, but a host of factors—including technology, farming methods, and environmental issues—make the decision of what to eat much more complex. Moreover, vegetarian and non-vegetarian groups have splintered into countless subgroups that support various specialized eating philosophies.

书名：素食主义

在遥远的过去，选择食物是很容易的–人们吃任何可用的食物。当食物变得更丰富时，人们能够更清楚地辨别他们想吃什么。个人道德和偏好指导着人们的饮食决定。他们今天仍然这样做，但包括技术、耕作方法和环境问题在内的一系列因素使得吃什么的决定变得复杂得多。此外，素食者和非素食者群体已经分裂成无数支持各种专业饮食哲学的子群体。
