Even Ronald McDonald Won’t Eat A Big Mac

Crowds Gather For Macy's Annual Thanksgiving Day Parade

The Bostonist featured an article discussing how several celebrities have brought vegness into the spotlight.

Some of the famous discussed included Oprah’s famous 21-day cleanse when she abstained from lots of things, animal products being one of them, Russell Simmons, Kansas City Chief’s Tony Gonzalez, and Ronald McDonald.

Geoffrey Giuliano was one of the actors who played Ronald McDonald in the past. Apparently he was so disturbed by the idea of factory farming, he had to give up his job to keep a clear conscience.

In an interview, he was quoted as saying, “There’s no question that I was manipulating these children. I was a highly paid, highly trained, highly polished actor. Every show was a performance and I had a mandate to get that message out there, and yeah, it was not too hard – anybody can manipulate a child. I just went home one night, and I said, ‘I cannot do this, I can’t live with myself if I continue to do this.”

An accomplished actor and author, Giuliano has written over 30 best-selling books and has worked as an actor, producer, and director.

It appears good things can happen when you quit the right (or shall we say wrong) day job.

Hip hop mega mogul Russell Simmons rides a bike after yoga

Russell Simmons gave an interview to CNN in which he spoke about veganism, yoga, and his support for Obama.

Some of his motives for going vegan included less harm to the planet. He said his friends have also reported he’s looked better over the years since his meatless adventures started.

Turns out, he originally got into yoga to check out the hot chicks! He soon learned there was much more the meditation could do for him (with hot chicks being a bonus).

Go here to watch Russell, learn about his book, and hear him talk about the hot yoga chicks.

Alicia Silverstone’s Dogs Don’t Need Beano Anymore

I am Alicia Silverstone and I am a vegetarian. My dog is also vegan and has stopped farting tremendously.

Ok, so maybe we made up the last line or maybe…it was edited before the photo went to press.

Not long ago, Alicia Silverstone said in an interview with Graham Norton that she switched her dogs to a vegan diet and since then, they don’t have nearly as much gas.

While starting a veg diet may do the opposite for humans until they adjust, Silverstone’s dogs have done quite well. “All four of my dogs are vegan, they don’t fart anymore,” she said.

Silverstone has been very passionate about spreading the veg news, including working with Peta.

Note: While dogs can do well with vegan diets, it is not recommended for cats, since essential nutrients they need, such as taurine, are found in meat products. Cats are carnivores at heart. We also don’t advise giving your dog Beano unless a vet’s ok’d it. This was brought to you today by Vegetarian Star Public Service Announcement for Cat and Dog Health.
