In previous episodes, we learned that the cornerstone of major spiritual faiths and philosophies of the world is benevolence towards all beings, including our animal co-inhabitants. The concept of animal rights, however, was not treated explicitly until respected English philosopher Henry Salt published his 1894 classic, "Animals' Rights - Considered in Relation to Social Progress," in which the erudite social reformer expressed his hope for an end to animal mistreatment.

In part two of our series, we saw that vegetarianism enjoyed a resurgence in Europe during the Renaissance period, an influential time for the arts, culture and intellectual thought. Closely following the Renaissance, the Age of Enlightenment from the 17th to the 18th century, was a time in Europe marked by an emphasis on empiricism, which is to say, reason and scientific methods as a way to true knowledge.It was a new era in Western thought that saw significant advances in such ideals as individual liberty, democracy, women’s rights, and the separation of church and state. Eminent Enlightenment philosophers such as Voltaire of France and Genevan Jean-Jacques Rousseau, spoke about the sentience of animals.

Refreshing and fragrant strawberries are one of the typical fruits that ripen in the springtime here in Korea. A favorite fruit that can be enjoyed on its own, used in salads or made into a wide range of desserts. Strawberries are rich in anti-oxidants, packed with vitamins C and K, fiber, folic acid, manganese and potassium that are all highly beneficial for our health and well-being. In addition, the heart-shape and attractive, bright red appearance make the strawberry a popular choice in food decorations and in desserts.

In part one, we saw that vegetarianism has its roots in the world's ancient spiritual traditions. It should be of no surprise that vegetarian and religion are so closely associated,considering that the cornerstone of virtually all major faiths and philosophies in the world is the universally recognized golden rule, to treat others kindly, which is the underlying tenet of vegetarianism and veganism." Do unto others as you would have them do unto you."-Lord Jesus Christ. This perhaps is the most famous principle that Lord Jesus Christ conveyed during His Sermon on the Mount. We would like to honor Christianity, the world's largest religion, be exploring the various existing written records and other information that suggest Lord Jesus and the early Christians were vegetarian or vegans.

Far from being a new phenomenon, vegetarianism and veganism have enjoyed a long and diverse history since the beginning of our sojourn on Earth. The term vegetarian was not coined until the 1800s, and the tern vegan not until 1944.Before these words were invented and popularized, a vegetarian diet was referred to as the "vegetable diet," or the "Pythagorean diet," after the preeminent Greek philosopher Pythagoras.Generally, the further back in time, the less certain it is whether a particular historical figure was vegetarian, lacto-vegetarian, ovo-vegetarian,or vegan.

As many of our Earth-loving viewers may know,raising cows for their milk is very unsustainable and requires vast amouts of resources such as water, land and food.

One pionneering start-up is Perfect Day, a San Francisco-based company in California,USA, taht is developing a yeast-derived milk. Started in 2014,Perfect Day,which was originally called Muufri, is now led by Mr.Ryan Pandya and Mr.Perumal Gandhi, who have assembled a team to create milk, exactly as many people have known it, but without a cow.
