Hi all - Although I would LOVE to believe this, I've researched Einstein for many years. He was not a vegan or vegetarian until later on in life when he took ill. Then he decided a plant based diet would be best for his health. I have not found ANY information on him being vegan though, ever. Sorry -just thought the info here should be correct.

Yeah, your right, he did support vegetarianism though, and said that it would be the single best thing that humanity can do for survival on earth.
