"A Vindication of Natural Diet" by Percy Bysshe Shelley makes a case for vegetarianism as the best diet for people, both for ethical and health reasons. The book, written in the early 1800s, claims eating meat and drinking alcohol are bad for society and health. Shelley uses science, history, and personal stories to say that humans are naturally made to eat plants. He thinks that changing what we eat can make people healthier and improve society as a whole, blending his own observations with philosophical ideas.

Summary
About the AuthorPercy Bysshe Shelley was an English writer who is considered one of the major English Romantic poets. A radical in his poetry as well as in his political and social views, Shelley did not achieve fame during his lifetime, but recognition of his achievements in poetry grew steadily following his death, and he became an important influence on subsequent generations of poets, including Robert Browning, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Thomas Hardy, and W. B. Yeats. American literary critic Harold Bloom describes him as "a superb craftsman, a lyric poet without rival, and surely one of the most advanced sceptical intellects ever to write a poem."
