Hitler got it right.

No I’m not advocating the holocaust, but it is a little known fact but Hitler was a vegetarian, from the age of 22 to when he died he was a vegetarian, he made a few slip ups by the sound of it, but Hitler is known to have been against the killing of animals and wanted “a continent without slaughterhouses.” - bare in mind that statement means he would have to take over Europe first (which is bad), but well you get the picture.

Hitler said, “One may regret living at a period when it’s impossible to form an idea of the shape the world of the future will assume. But there’s one thing I can predict to eaters of meat: the world of the future will be vegetarian.” - I actually agree with this.

Food writer Bee Wilson writes that Hitler’s diet was “free of flesh,” describing that his strict vegetarian regime and notes, “It amused him to spoil carnivorous guests’ appetites… As they put their forks down in disgust, he would harangue them for hypocrisy. ‘That shows how cowardly people are,’ he would say. ‘They can’t face doing certain horrible things themselves, but they enjoy the benefits without a pang of conscience.’”

Now of course, Hitler is the hypocrite here with all the terrible things he eventually did, but he himself is the eternal enigma, I mean did he really agree with everything he was doing? Perhaps he was surrounded by people who made him believe the way he eventually believed… maybe the explanation is simple that Hitler was insane, but I must say, when it came to his moral stance on food, I agree. I don’t plan on using him as the example I use to sell people on vegetarianism though.
