Myths about Vegetarianism

MYTH: Hitler was a Vegetarian

FACT: No Hitler Wasn't

No Hitler wasn't. Not in the traditional sense of the word. Hitler occasionally reduced his meat consumption because of digestive problems.

If you want to call that vegetarianism, you might as well say that all meat-eaters are vegetarian for the eight hours they're asleep each night and not eating meat.

Of course, educated people will understand that it's irrelevant that Hitler was vegetarian, but non-vegetarians delight in repeating this myth as though they've made some sort of point.

Return to Myths about Vegetarianism

The Meat Free Zone (MFZ) campaign is intended to make the MeatFreeZone logo as recognizable a symbol as the "Smoke Free Zone". The idea was originally conceived when The WARM Store in Woodstock, NY, was in operation throughout the '90's (Woodstock Animal Rights Movement). The store was truly a meat free zone as it was the first cruelty-free, Vegan, socially conscious animal rights store in the United States. Now that the Vegan and Vegetarian movements have been growing so rapidly, more and more people are showing concern about the food in their diet and their overall health and nutrition. Many people are giving up eating fish, chicken, beef, pork (pigs ), dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, ice cream) and eggs. Headlines of Mad Cow disease, E-coli and salmonella are in the news with greater frequency. Vegan and vegetarian recipe cookbooks are standard now in all bookstores and many restaurants have added Vegan and Vegetarian options to their menus. We hope you will help us with the Meat Free Zone campaign by putting the signs up in your homes and workplaces and by spreading them to all the vegetarian and vegan restaurants that you know and frequent. And someday we will have true "meat free zones" in establishments that serve meat. (d-4)
