I honestly have no clue who’s out there spreading misinformation, but seriously—just do yourself a favor and type "Life of Nikola Tesla" and "vegetarianism" into Google to see the facts for yourself 😉
Albert Einstein (1879-1955, American physicist, winner of the Nobel Prize 1921):
"A vegetarian lifestyle could have an incredibly positive impact on the destiny of mankind—simply by how it physically affects human temperament."
"Nothing will do more to improve human health or increase the chances for life to persist on Earth than making the switch to a vegetarian diet."
"Our mission must be to liberate ourselves... by expanding our circle of compassion to include all living beings, all of nature, and its inherent beauty."
Tesla was a vegetarian
In the Life of Nikola Tesla, John J. O'Neill writes: “During his mature years, Tesla gave up meat. He replaced it with fish... Later, he almost entirely eliminated fish and transitioned to a vegetarian diet.”
Tesla was a fierce advocate for vegetarianism—viewing it as an ethical, environmental, economic, and health-conscious choice—which really solidifies his reputation as a visionary "prophet" of sorts. Back in 1900, he even noted: “The intention to increase livestock numbers to produce more food seems... correct, yet such a multitude can only be fed for a brief moment. It is far more important to cultivate vegetables and grains; furthermore, I believe vegetarianism is the recommended starting point for renouncing ingrained, barbaric habits. Many nations that live almost exclusively on a vegetarian diet demonstrate greater strength and physical readiness. Certain crops, such as oats, are more cost-effective than meat and better for both mental and physical health. Every effort should be made to halt the gluttonous and cruel slaughter of animals, which can be detrimental to human morality. To free ourselves from animalistic instincts and impulses, which degrade us... we must make a complete break in our dietary habits. All other [philosophical] musings regarding food are unnecessary.”
