Porphyry On Abstinence From Animal Food is a philosophical treatise written by the ancient Greek philosopher Porphyry in the 3rd century AD. The book is a defense of vegetarianism and argues that humans should abstain from eating animal products. Porphyry presents a range of arguments, including ethical, environmental, and health-based reasons for avoiding meat. He also critiques the practices of animal agriculture and the harm caused to animals in the process. The book was translated into English by Thomas Taylor in the 18th century and is considered a classic work in the history of vegetarianism.
