It's been too long since I read this to recall the specifics, but I had a strong impression that many historical claims in the book were unfounded or at best poorly sourced. As well, some significant vegetarians or possible vegetarians such as Johnny Appleseed (John Chapman) are ignored or overlooked. However, the book at least draws attention to the reasons behind the vegetarianism of many historical figures, reasons which sometimes go ignored even in their biographies.
