types of movements, and each movement has its own characteristics and origin besides all
the movements existing all-round the globe.

Movements are meant to share and idea which many people follow or believe in, these
movements try to get bigger by getting more people knowing them and joining their ideas
but also sharing them to other people, these ideas can be bad or good depending on every
person mentality of the topic.

movements, movements usually publish articles and photos on social media to expand their
movement and letting know other people about it, so it gets bigger and bigger and gains
notoriety to obtain the objectives the movement is looking for.

Even if some movements articles can be fake, many movements have an official profile in
social media or articles from experts which is a better source of information than just wikis

Vegetarian Movements

The vegetarian movement is another of the many famous movements we have in 2023,
despite the vegetarianism has been a practice since Egyptians and some other cultures the
recent movement started in around in 1940 in New York.

In the 19th century, the vegetarian movement gained momentum with prominent figures
such as Sylvester Graham and William Alcott. They focused on health and ethics by
promoting a plant-based diet. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the International
Vegetarian Society was founded to spread these ideas.

The term vegetarian replaced Pythagorean on September 29, 1847, in Ramsgate, England
when the first vegetarian society was formed. Three years later, a similar group known as
the American Vegetarian Society was founded in New York City by William Metcalfe,
Sylvester Graham, William Alcott, and Russell Trall.

In the 20th century, vegetarianism became connected to countercultural and health

movements. Environmental awareness incorporated into the reasons for adopting a
vegetarian diet. Figures like Mahatma Gandhi advocated for plant-based eating.

As the 20th century progressed, vegetarianism diversified with variations such as veganism,
focused on the total exclusion of animal products. This movement has continued to grow,
influenced by ethical, environmental and health concerns.

Vegetarian movement most relevant information source is the official page of the
movement, or even vegetarian people wikis. This is because in the wikis we have opinions
from people who have been vegetarian and the vital information about the movement is in
their official pages on internet, opinions help us to know how being a vegetarian is and how
it can affect your body or diary life.
PEOPLE IN VEGETARIAN MOVEMENT.
¿How are the vegetarian people?
Vegetarian people do not have any economic or social class as they are normal people as
everyone, the vegetarian people are of all colors and kinds there are older vegetarians,
young vegetarians, blonde vegetarians, etc. etc.

Of course, vegetarians avoid eating meat from any type of animal and are pretty like the
vegans who avoid eating any food coming directly from an animal, because of this people
have become vegetarian for many reasons such as getting fit or just because of their caring
for animals.

CAUSES OF THE MOVEMENT

The vegetarian movement started around two thousand years in India and Asian societies as
a philosophical awakening of those times, this means the vegetarians do not really have an
initially cause but many reasons to be vegetarians and to make a bigger movement.

GOALS AND DEMANDS OF THE MOVEMENT

The vegan movement wants to encourage more people to become vegetarians and to live in
a world where humans do not exploit animals or non-humans’ life beings.

They are also looking for a world where the resources are used in a sustainable way and to
take care of our planet in general.

Increase the amount of people that believe in:

 Animals have the right of freedom.
 Animal exploitation also affects humanity.
 Animal farming is not sustainable and damages the environment.
 Balanced vegan nutrition is healthy.

mathematician. He contributed significantly to the advancement of Hellenic mathematics,
geometry, and arithmetic.

eating any type of meat, beans, or eggs.
He ate a modest diet of bread and honey and vegetables for dessert. He was repelled by
butchers and butcher shops. He drank some wine but preferred water.

Thomas More
Thomas More was an English lawyer, thinker, theologian, politician, humanist and writer,
poet, translator, professor of law, judge of civil affairs and lord chancellor to Henry VIII,
revered as a saint.
In his book Utopia he abolished the slaughter of animals with the utopian mandate that says
that citizens "should not kill animals through sacrifice, nor should they think that God
views blood and slaughter favorably because he gave life to animals with the sole purpose
of so that they could live.

He wrote against the slaughter of animals and against those who eat meat but also criticized
those who waste barley making alcoholic beverages. He drank wine.

Mahatma Gandhi

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was the most prominent leader of the Indian independence
movement against the British Raj - for which he practiced non-violent civil disobedience -
as well as an Indian Hindu pacifist, politician, thinker, and lawyer.

Occasionally, when fasting, I drank insignificant amounts of fruit juices.
He never wanted to eat eggs or drink cow lidie because he said, "they excite the passions."

CONCLUSION
The vegetarian movement has become one of the biggest movements of all having many
official courts and “sub movements” around the world, it is now incorporated to many
famous companies and with each day passing becoming partners with more countries to
promote the vegetarian consume of food and resources.

Ignoring the bad things of vegetarianism such as the bad nutrients consume or even the
deformation of the bones with the “vegan” food which haves lots of chemicals, being a
vegetarian is eco-friendly and a cool habit if you know how to live with it and to control a
balanced diet.

It is actually a cool movement with good community, but some people can also be very
extremist with the vegan consume of aliments or with the caring of the resource’s
mentality.
