** On an added note, Hitler was not a vegetarian. He consumed meat on many occasions(his "vegetarianism was for medical reason, and certainly would not be for ethical). If Hilter is considered a vegetarian, than Jefferson must be as well, since his diet was very similar(however many meat eaters would say Jefferson was not since he consumed meat on occasion). I love how people think putting Hilter as a vegetarians is a way to try and negate the dietary choice. The fact is, there were many more meat eating mass murderers than vegetarian, which goes to show that diet has nothing to do with it, and is irrelevant.

Answer 3

Albert Einstein

Abraham Lincoln

Mark Twain

Sir Isaac Newton

Vincent van Gogh

Answer 4

Adolph Hitler was supposedly a vegetarian. Hmm...didn't he have radical religious beliefs and fanaticism and helped in killing 2 to 6 million people not too long ago? Hmm. In addition to his hatred of the Jews, which is very well known, he was a bundle of "anti-" attitudes - anti-democratic and anti-Republican. He was an ardent Social Darwinist, which means that he believed that the process of survival of the fittest by natural selection should be artificially sped up by the government, for example by killing 'incurables' and various 'undesirables'. His beliefs were as convoluted as vegetarian beliefs.

Answer 5
