EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from the International Vegetarian Congress held in Berlin, Germany, in 1932, a sea of bearded and long-haired vegetarian delegates gathers in a wholesome and earnest atmosphere. The image, published in The Sphere magazine, raises an intriguing question: "Does Vegetarianism increase the growth of hair?" The 1930s, a period often associated with the Great Depression, saw a growing interest in vegetarianism as a healthier and more economical alternative to meat consumption. The vegetarian movement gained momentum in Europe, and Germany was no exception. The International Vegetarian Congress in Berlin was a significant event that brought together vegetarians from various countries to discuss the benefits of a plant-based diet. The photograph captures the unique character of the congress attendees, many of whom sported long beards and flowing locks. The image has led some to speculate that vegetarianism might indeed have contributed to the abundant growth of their hair. However, there is no scientific evidence to support this claim. Despite the lack of concrete evidence, the image of the bearded and long-haired vegetarian delegates has become a symbol of the health and vitality associated with the vegetarian lifestyle. The photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the dedication and camaraderie of the vegetarian movement during the 1930s in Germany. The International Vegetarian Congress in Berlin, 1932, was a testament to the growing popularity of vegetarianism as a health and ethical choice. The photograph not only captures the spirit of the movement but also raises intriguing questions about the relationship between diet and physical appearance. Regardless of the answer to the question posed by The Sphere magazine, the image remains a powerful reminder of the enduring appeal of the vegetarian lifestyle.
