Biography


In 1875, Schlickeysen attacked meat-eating for causing militarism and a "roaming, savage and warlike life".[1] He argued that Germans should embrace a fruit and grain diet, appropriate to their natural home in the forest.[1] He has been described as an "early propagandist of vegetarianism."[2]

Schlickeysen was a fruitarian who proposed the use of "fruit medicine", he believed that raw fruits were "sunlight nutrition".[3] He authored the book Fruit and Bread: A Scientific Diet, which advocated an uncooked diet of fruits, grains and nuts. It was translated by Martin Luther Holbrook.[4] In 1877, Francis William Newman President of the Vegetarian Society criticized the book for condemning beans, lentils, honey, tea and all cooked foods.[5] Newman considered Schlickeysen a "pernicious foe to our society" and the book fanatical.[5]
