Episode 4 - More Natural to Man · Vegetarianism and Occultism

  Section four more natural to man. Third, because man is not naturally made
• 0:08
  to be carnivorous, and therefore this horrible food is not suited to him.
• 0:14
  Here again, let me give you a few quotations to show you what authorities
• 0:19
  are ranged upon our side of the matter. Baron Cuvier himself writes, the
• 0:26
  natural food of man, judging from his structure, consists of fruit, roots,
• 0:31
  and vegetables. And Professor Ray tells us certainly man was never made to
• 0:37
  be a carnivorous animal. Sir Richard Owen f R c. S. Writes,
• 0:45
  anthropoids and all the quadrumana derive their alimentation from fruits, grains, and
• 0:52
  other succulent vegetable substances, and the strict analogy which exists between the structures of
• 0:59
  these animals and that of man clearly demonstrates his frugivorous nature. Another fellow of
• 1:06
  the Royal Society, Professor William Lawrence, writes, the teeth of man have
• 1:11
  not the slightest resemblance to those of carnivorous animals. And whether we consider the
• 1:18
  teeth, the jaws, or the digestive organs, the human structure closely resembles
• 1:23
  that of frugivorous animals once more. Doctor Spencer Thompson remarks, no physiologists would
• 1:33
  dispute that man ought to live on a vegetarian diet, and doctor Sylvester Graham
• 1:38
  writes, comparative anatomy proves that man is naturally a frugivorous animal form to subsist
• 1:46
  upon fruits, seeds, and farinaceous vegetables. The desirability of the vegetarian diet
• 1:53
  will, of course need no argument for anyone who believes in the inspiration of
• 1:57
  the scriptures, For it will be remembered that God, in speaking to Adam,
• 2:02
  while in the garden of Eden, said behold, I have given you
• 2:07
  every herb bearing seed which is upon the face of all the earth, and
• 2:13
  every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed. To you
• 2:16
  it shall be for meat. And it was only after the fall of man,
• 2:22
  when death came into the world, that a more degraded idea of feeding
• 2:24
  came along with it. And if now we hope to rise again to eat
• 2:30
  in it conditions, we must surely commence by abolishing unnecessary slaughter performed in order
• 2:37
  to supply us with horrible and degrading food. End of Section four
