The
Vegetarian Society is a
United Kingdom registered charitable organization established on 30 September 1847 with the aim of promoting understanding and respect for
vegetarianism lifestyles.
History
The first recorded meeting of the Vegetarian Society was held at Northwood Villa, a vegetarian hospital in Ramsgate,
Kent in 1847. Its first full public meeting was held in Manchester the following year. In 1848, the society published the first issue of its magazine
The Vegetarian.
The Society claims to be the oldest society in the world promoting vegetarianism, though there are number of religious organisations in the East, some of them very old, which also promote abstinence from meat and prohibit harming any animals. Before the Society was founded, vegetarians were known as "
Pythagoreanism". Although is it often claimed that the word "vegetarian" was coined on 30 September 1847 at the first meeting of The Vegetarian Society, the Oxford English Dictionary cites two earlier usages, in 1839 and 1842, though the OED asserts that the widespread use of the term is due to the founding of the Vegetarian Society.
Current work
The Society's current work is geared primarily towards the provision of advice and education to individuals, educational establishments, and community groups. The Vegetarian Society also acts as a
pressure group with the aim of influencing food producers to remove non-vegetarian ingredients such as
gelatine from their products. This pressure is also exerted in the form of a stamp of approval for goods that are suitable for vegetarians, and a regularly-updated list of products which are not.
Notable members
Notable members of the Vegetarian Society have included Isaac Pitman, Mahatma Gandhi, George Bernard Shaw,
Paul McCartney, Linda McCartney and Stella McCartney.
Other societies
There are numerous other vegetarian societies in various parts of the world, notably in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, though these are not directly linked to the Vegetarian Society.
