which is cited in John Toland�s biography of Hitler, Dr. Kalechofsky comments: "This is consistent with other descriptions of Hitler�s diet, which always included some form of meat, whether ham, sausages, or liver dumplings."6

Hitler was not a vegetarian

But he was weird in other ways, right?

In an argument over ethical vegetarianism on this board, it was brought up that Hitler was vegan. I have seen this attempt to discredit ethical vegetarians many times before. Just wanted to reveal it for the myth it is, for my fellow infidels

Okay, but plenty of evil people are vegetarians:

Henry Ford
Bill 'The Mutilator' MacDonald (serial killer)
Richard Wagner
Alfred Packer (after he ate people)
Michael Jackson
Kirk Cameron
Piers Anthony
Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham
Bob Barker
Corey Feldman

And Hitler did believe in astrology and that Nostradamus crap, right?

Yes, it is factually in error to say that Hitler was a vegetarian. But it is fallacious reasoning to say that something must be evil because an evil man did it. Hitler was, I am told, kind to children (of the "appropriate race"); would anyone therefore claim that it is wrong to be kind to children, and that one should be cruel to them instead? Really, you must be arguing with halfwits.

Hitler also wore pants all the time, and never enagaged in public nudity.

Hitler was a straight-edger.

I don't believe any of the 'halfwits' like me were insinuating that '...somethng must be evil because an evil man did it.". In repeating the old saw about Hitler being a vegan (and a believer in astrology and Nostradamus), I was just piling on.

The fact that Hitler WASN'T a vegan is a point in his favor. And obviously the Nazis were evil, regardless of their chosen diet(s).
