Salt is a collection of essays and dialogues written in the late 19th century. The text explores the rationale and ethical arguments for vegetarianism, engaging with various counterarguments typically raised by advocates of meat consumption. The book aims to present a comprehensive and logical framework for understanding vegetarianism as not just a dietary choice, but a moral and humane philosophy that challenges common societal norms. At the start of the work, Salt outlines his intention to clarify the concept of vegetarianism, distinguishing it from misconceptions and critiques he aims to address through dialogue. He introduces the idea that while vegetarianism has gained traction as a movement, many misunderstand its core principles and ethical implications. Salt critiques the responses he received from opponents in the past, highlighting their flaws in understanding the arguments for vegetarianism, and emphasizes the necessity to engage with both the moral implications of meat consumption and the logical fallacies often employed by detractors. The opening sets a tone of intellectual rigor and establishes vegetarianism as a viable and ethically sound lifestyle choice to be defended against prevalent misapprehensions.
