What did Ben eat?
Ben decided to become a vegetarian when he was 16 years old. He prepared his own meals, and mentions eating boiled potatoes, rice, hasty pudding, bread, raisins, and water. Quickly finishing his simple meals gave Ben more time for reading.
Ben later gave up vegetarianism; during the voyage from Boston to Philadelphia he ate fish.

Ben was a vegetarian.
False. Evidence suggests young Franklin was averse to killing animals for food. He also figured vegetables cost less than meat, so he could spend more of his earnings on books. His diet wasn’t completely free of meat and fish, though.

Hi to vegan&proud
No, he was not. The Dalai Lama is also a meat eater. Adolf Hitler however was a vegetarian.
No Benjamin Franklin was not. He even had gout which can be caused by meats and fish and many other foods. He also wrote about a fighting with gout. It was called "Dialogue Between Franklin and the Gout."
No Benjamin Franklin was not a vegetarian.
Although Franklin tried to follow them himself, he sometimes went astray from his good intentions.
For example, in his Almanack, Poor Richard (Franklin) gave the advice:
"Be temperate in wine, in eating, girls, and cloth, or the Gout will seize you and plague you both."
Meanwhile, Franklin was known to relished his food, womanize and sometimes dress to impress people. His food and wine-drinking habits led him to be plagued with the gout for much of his life. But still, the positive intentions were there.
No and neither was Einstein, nor is the Dalai Lama. But all of them support(ed) vegetarianism (which is kinda contradictory).
Personally, I think we should not look for role models in dietary choices.
he was a non-vegetarian like me.
even Dalai Lama is a non-vegetarian
yes . i read it in the internet and so is leonardo da vinci, buddha and Mahatma gandhi.
i never have known that in benjamin franklin's time vegetarian has already existed. that's soo cool. adolf hitler being a vegetarian? much cooler. but in the other hand, it's also very suprising to know that these man of wisdom supports vegetarianism. how cool is that?
"My refusing to eat flesh occasioned an inconveniency, and I was frequently chided for my singularity, but, with this lighter repast, I made the greater progress, for greater clearness of head and quicker comprehension" "Flesh eating is unprovoked murder." -Benjamin Franklin
I say he was..he could have gotten gout from butter or too much cake
Having gout does not mean someone eats meat. Though some foods aggravate the disease. It's an Auto-immune disease kind of like arthritis.
no he was a vegetarian. i am though
nonono
