Stanley Green, the Protein Man - Oxford Street

Stanley Owen Green (February 22, 1915-December 4, 1993), known as the Protein Man, was a human billboard who became a well-known figure in London, England, during the latter half of the 20th century. For 25 years, Green patrolled Oxford Street in the West End, carrying a placard that advocated Less Passion from Less Protein: Less Fish Meat Bird Cheese Egg Peas Beans, Nuts and Sitting. Arguing that protein made people lustful and aggressive, his solution was protein wisdom, a low-protein diet for better, kinder, happier people.
