Eminent vegetarian Albert Einstein (1879-1955), said, “Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for survival of life on Earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet.”

On a similar note he stated, “Our task must be to widen our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
And on the day he became a vegetarian, Einstein wrote in his diary, “So I am living without fats, without meat, without fish, but am feeling quite well this way. It always seems to me that man was not born to be a carnivore.”

Sir Isacc Newton,
“the father of physics,” and Leonardo Da Vinci, a part-time physicist who made major discoveries in hydraulics, optics and mechanics were both vegetarians.
In fact, Da Vinci was so fervent about vegetarianism that he would buy caged chickens and set them free.
In addition, Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920), considered the greatest mathematician of the last 1000 years, was also vegetarian.
