Albert Broadbent Шаблон:Postnominals (15 February 1867 – 21 January 1912) was an English food lecturer, writer and vegetarianism activist.

Biography

Broadbent was born in Hollingworth; he later married Christina Harrison. Broadbent became the secretary of the Vegetarian Society in 1895. He represented the International Congresses at Paris, Dresden, St. Louis and London. He was an active member of the Vegetarian Federal Union and attended all their meetings from 1893.

Broadbent was Secretary of the Vegetarian Society (1895–1912) and was succeeded by Henry Brown Amos. He lectured extensively on food reform. Broadbent was a Fellow of the Statistical Society and the Royal Horticultural Society. He was editor of The Vegetarian Messenger and Health Review.

Broadbent's book Science in the Daily Meal argued that a vegetarian diet is capable of providing the body its highest state of physical development. Broadbent listed one hundred Uric Acid free recipes. The book promoted the consumption of plasmon but this food was controversial as not all vegetarians advocated its use. In 1903, J. P. Sandlands wrote a rebuttal to Broadbent's book entitled Science in the Daily Meal Criticised, or Plasmon Confounded. Broadbent published an abridged edition of Howard Williams' book The Ethics of Diet, in 1907.

Broadbent started vegetarian eating establishments in Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Leicester, with the intention of bettering the social position of women, by providing them the opportunity to earn a living wage. The meals were also provided at a low price, so that poorer people would be able to access vegetarian meals; this enterprise ended in failure and, as result, Broadbent suffered a significant financial loss. After experiencing a complete nervous breakdown, Broadbent died on 21 January 1912.
