The four
Fillmores actively advocated the practice of vegetarianism during
their lifetimes beginning with Charles Fillmore's original
article, "As To Meat Eating" published in
the October, 1903 issue of Unity Magazine. Lowell added the
New Thought Diet section to Unity Magazine in
1906 and there were two special vegetarian issues of the magazine
in February, 1911 and June, 1915. John Fillmore was editor of The
Vegetarian column, which was added to Weekly Unity
beginning with the October 25, 1911 issue. The Vegetarian
column continued until 1931. Lowell Fillmore was North American
Vice-President of the International
Vegetarian Union from 1953-55 and 1960-67. Besides the written
articles and publications, the Fillmores started the Unity
Inn, the Unity Pure Food Co., and the Unity Farm as practical
manifestations of vegetarianism in the early 20th century. |
