[30] “Scientific Basis of Vegetarianism,” p. 20. As a matter of fact, all the work in the world is done by vegetarian animals—the horse, ox, camel, elephant, etc.

[31] Cf. Genesis i. 29, where man is distinctly told that he is a fruitarian; and not only that, he is told the character of fruit he must eat. “And God said. Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.” The seed-fruits are here clearly indicated, as well as man’s originally frugivorous diet.
