An Essay on Abstinence from Animal Food, as a Moral Duty is an 1802 book by English antiquarian and writer Joseph Ritson. It advocates for ethical vegetarianism and animal rights. Drawing on moral, physiological, and philosophical arguments, the work contends that the consumption of animal food is unnatural, unnecessary, and ethically indefensible. It is among the earliest publications to present vegetarianism as a moral obligation rather than solely a matter of health or religious doctrine. The book was influential in the development of the modern vegetarian movement and shaped the views of later figures such as Percy Bysshe Shelley.
