American Vegetarianism Has a Religious Past

[Anomalocaris]

Vegetarian meat substitutes weren’t always as easy to find in restaurants and supermarkets as they are today. But here's a fun fact you might not know: the religious men who invented the graham cracker and corn flakes also popularized veggie burgers in the United States, Ernie Smith writes for Atlas Obscura.

Here is the college humor take on circumcision and deals with Kellogs

My religion says pass the steak sauce.

My religion says pass the steak sauce.

My religion says if it used to be alive, eat it.

I think what a person chooses to eat or believe in (religion) is a personal choice that others should not seek to control.

Interesting read and thanks for sharing. Pretty neat how the Kellog's cereal was discovered.

I see some humorous irony with John Kellog. Goes vegetarian for religious reasons and yet made fake meats from wheat gluten which is a huge problem for modern people with celiac disease or people with grain intolerances. I realize this was long before celiac disease was discovered, but as I said I do find it humorously ironic.

Personally, religion has always played a great part in my attitude towards vegetarianism. Upon being attacked by a host or hostess thrusting a platter of garden clippings under my nose, my usual response is prayer! (Not exactly prayer.....more like "Jesus Christ, what is that c--p?")

If, for some reason you want to know if a person is a veggie or not.....just engage them in conversation. It usually take about 12 seconds before they tell you.
