Examples

“"The sight and smell⟳ of raw meat are especially odious to me, and I have⟳ often thought that if I had had to be my own⟳ cook⟳, I should inevitably become⟳ a vegetarian, probably, indeed, return⟳ entirely to my green and salad days."”

“Vegetarian Society […] A society […] formed at Manchester in 1847, to promote⟳ the use⟳ of cereals, pulse, and fruit, as articles of diet; and to induce habits of abstinence from fish⟳, flesh, and fowl, as food.”

“vegetarian […] One who abstains from animal food, living exclusively on vegetables, milk, eggs, and the like⟳. The more strict vegetarians eat⟳ vegetables and farinaceous food only, abstaining from eggs, butter, milk, and in some cases, honey.”

“I went in for all books available on vegetarianism and read⟳ them. One of these, Howard Williams' The Ethics of Diet, was a 'biographical history of the literature of humane dietetics from the earliest period to the present⟳ day'. It tried to make⟳ out, that all philosophers and prophets from Pythagoras and Jesus down to those of the present⟳ age were vegetarians.”

“Many vegetarians abhor the thought of killing animals to feed⟳ themselves and also the methods by which animals are slaughtered.”

“Heh heh. You hit like⟳ a vegetarian!”

““I must preface this essay by the confession that I am myself a Vegetarian, and that I mean⟳ to say⟳ all the good I can of the principles of Vegetarianism.””
