Inventor of Salisbury Steak:

Dr. James Salisbury, a physician, and medical researcher, was a microscopist and a painstaking investigator who researched the germ-causation theory of disease. He published a myriad of medical articles, but perhaps he is best known as the Salisbury Steak’s inventor.
James Henry Salisbury was born of Welsh descent in Scott, New York, on October 13, 1823, to Nathan and Lucretia Salisbury. After receiving his early education at the Homer Academy, he graduated with a Bachelor of Natural Science degree from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1844. He joined the New York Geological Survey as an assistant chemist. In 1849, he was promoted to a principal chemist, serving until 1852.

He believed that humans were meant to eat meat and sought to limit vegetables, fruit, starches, and fat to the diet.
