    It's unknown when Adolf Hitler adopted a vegetarian diet, as there are reports which indicate that he ate meat
    at the age of 48, in 1937. By 1938 Hitler's public image as a vegetarian was already being fostered and from 1942
    he self-identified as a vegetarian. People who knew him indicate that meat was not a part of Hitler's diet during
    that period. The exact reasons why Hitler became a strict vegetarian are unknown, but there are several theories.
    Some modern day analysis has supposed that Hitler's vegetarianism may have been due to Richard Wagner's
    historical theories, or even a psychological reaction to his niece's death rather than a commitment to animal welfare.
    On the other had, there are reports that Hitler was often distressed by images of animal suffering, as well as being
    an antivivisectionist

    Thursday night the Milwaukee Brewers beat the Atlanta Braves in Miller Park. The Brewers scored at least 1 run in every inning
    in which they batted. That's only the 16th time that has happened in the history of Major League 'Baseball. Even rarer than a
    perfect game, of which only 23 have ever been pitched.
