“What will be the food of the future?” “Fruit and grains. The time will come when meat will no longer be eaten. Medical science is only in its infancy, yet it has shown that our natural diet is that which grows out of the ground. The people will gradually develop up to the condition of this natural food.“

– ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, cited in Julia M. Grundy. “Ten Days in the Light of ‘Akka”, rev. ed. # 41 Health, Healing, and Nutrition compilation
