A legendary sight along Oxford Street for decades until his death, Stanley Green marched up and down the high street with a homemade placard decrying Protein. Yes, that’s right, Stanley Green ran a one-man campaign against eating or consuming any form of protein for the aggression and anarchy ingestion of the substance wrought upon mankind. By the way, sitting is bad for you too.
Now housed in the Museum of London, Mr. Green’s cardboard and wood placard stands as a silent testament to the highly principled, but slightly unhinged mind. It simply states “Less Lust. By Less Protein. Meat, Fish, Bird, Egg, Cheese, Peas, beans, Lentils…and Sitting”. Daily, under power of a small broiled egg and porridge, Mr. Green would ride his bicycle into London and march up and down Oxford Street with the placard held high, warning the world of the dangers of eating protein. He postulated that the energies within were responsible for most, if not all of the evils of the modern world, and it was his job to educate everyone about it, and he did so daily for twenty-five years.
Visitors to London might miss such an unusual exhibit piece if they were stuck on a weekend schedule, forced to race around the town seeing all of the cliché sights. For visitors however, who utilize short term rentals London opens itself up, and they can see all of the things that lay off the beaten path. For visitors who stay in a holiday apartment London can offer greater savings over staying in a traditional hotel.
