    • 1898, Josiah Oldfield, “The Dietary of the Twentieth Century”, in The New Century Review, page 308:
      The dietary of the coming century shall be in harmony with its aspirations and the human race will vegetare.

      What you have to realize is that brazilians in general do not understand the concept vegetaring and thus would include chicken, fish and even small amounts of beef in their definition of a vegetarian dish.
