When we think of bad people we don’t think of hippies eating lentil stew, nature lovers with their allotments or motorway protestors with holy jumpers – More a feeling of passive love and kindness to both people, animals and motorways (maybe that’s nature too).
I’m sure it’s not me but in History we have always been lead to believe meat eaters are the ones more likely to be aggressive, think of lions, bears, sharks and piranhas – they’d all love a bit of our bums.
While vegetarians are redeemed more passive, more likely to duck out of a confrontation and more likely to give us a cuddle.
It’s a simple case of cavemen versus cute fluffy rabbits – one hunts for its prey and one forages for its greens.
Anywho – without putting the whole of the vegetarian mass into a rabbit hole (I mean a fictional pigeon hole – both of which are off the menu), I thought has there been any unlikely vegetarians – well yes the biggest was ?????? wait for it.
The man who commanded the termination of 6 million jews, who executed children with fits, mentally handicapped adults, gypsies, people of colour and basically anyone who didn’t fall into his agenda.
Hitler was a vegetarian. In fact he shot himself between courses after a starter of unknown contents, while his chef was cooking him fried eggs and mash! (or in other readings spaghetti and tomato sauce) Him and his 2 day wife were no more. She with a lethal dose of poison and him with a single almost cowardly shot to his temple & no doubt as a narcissist he made sure Eva Braun was dead first. (Brawn was off the menu too)
Leonard de Vinci – although this hasn’t been proven, it’s been hinted that our Leo (not De Caprio = a vegan) did not like the thought of animals being sacrificed for consumption. He enjoyed a simply diet of olive oil, bread, vegetables, fruit and wine. Interestingly enough he was also ADHD and dyslexic (like me) – I’m not saying he was bad but more than likely naughty, like the rumours that the Mona Lisa was pregnant with his baby, as she was holding her tummy with a secretive smile on her face all while being married to the man next door.
Mary Shelley – the female author of Frankenstein a monster made out of different parts, possibly from the slaughter house. He was a horrific character of the Victorian days, one to be feared and shocked, causing quite the commotion in the day.
Maybe she was confessing her disgust for meat eaters in the way she wrote and it wasn’t unusual that the romantic writing sorts of that era did not like the idealisms of meat, killing and blood.
Pythagarus – was an ancient Greek philosopher and all-round know it all. Choosing for a diet of bread, honey, beans and vegetables for himself and all his followers. He believed that all living creatures have souls, so eating them was simply not on, so it was a true ethical reason and not a healthy one.
John Harvey Kelloggs – more shocking that he was a vegetarian was the fact he was a doctor who thought a balanced vegetarian diet took people away from sinful lust and masturbation – thus cornflakes and granola were invented. He advocated biological living and as a religious American Evangelist he lived until age 91 fathering 11 children – that’s what happens when you eat cornflakes instead of wanking !
It’s also been claimed he invented peanut butter – so despite loathing ‘you know what’, he had lots of children (obvious!) and his inventions in food are still around today (much like wanking!)
And lastly (of course there is tons of em)
Bill Clinton – despite grooming an office junior in to indulging in his meat and two vegetables, he is a vegetarian. So while he has a Nutty Roast his wife and the brains of the duo knocks herself up a steak. Allegedly.
Please note – the author of this piece, me Zena Leech-Calton is not a vegetarian, but a weekend lustful meat lover however I do not condone in anyway life choices, apart from those that indulge in shitty processed foods and crappy beige 70’s poop.
