Vegetarianism

Adam, Eve, and their first generation children practiced a vegetarian diet, abstaining from consuming animal flesh and opting for fruits, nuts, cereals, and vegetables instead. 74:6.3 76:3.7 76:4.4

The combination of a vegetable and meat diet marked a significant improvement in the health of ancient peoples. 81:1.8

Many Adamites were nonflesh eaters, but over time their descendants typically gravitated towards omnivorous diets, resulting in varied anatomic blends reflecting their herbivorous and carnivorous origins. 52:3.8-9

The practice of vegetarianism dates back to the times of the Caligastia 100, influencing the eating habits of many surrounding tribes and groups. 66:4.7
