Emerson preferred a vegetarian diet, but there is dispute over how zealously he practiced it. He abhorred slaughterhouses, and tried to stick to a vegetarian diet primarily, as did Henry David Thoreau, although Thoreau did enjoy eating fish.

Answer 2

There is no definitive evidence to suggest that Ralph Waldo Emerson was a vegetarian. He did, however, have a strong appreciation for nature and the environment, which may have influenced his dietary choices.
