 y over 130 years ago.\n\nVegetarian Ideas and Vegetarian Food in Nineteent
 h Century America . . . Through the Civil War\, the vegetarian movement fo
 cused on social and political reform\, but by the late nineteenth century 
 the movement became a path for personal strength and success\, which led t
 o greater acceptance of vegetarianism within mainstream society.  Adam Sch
