like Pythagoras, Leonardo da Vinci, and Mahatma Gandhi abstained from eating
animals. Plutarch wrote, “When we clog and cloy our body with flesh, we also

food, the mind becomes confused and dull and loses its cheerfulness. Such minds
engage in trivial pursuits, because they lack the clearness and vigor for
higher thinking.”
