Religious Roots and the Moralization of Vegetarianism
The historical campaign against red meat is traced back to 19th-century religious movements, specifically the Swedenborgian Church and the Bible Christians. Ellen White and the Seventh-day Adventists promoted vegetarianism as a means of spiritual purity and the suppression of "sexual lust." Figures like John Harvey Kellogg and Sylvester Graham integrated these religious beliefs into medical discourse, eventually influencing the American Dietetic Association and framing meat consumption as a moral failing.
