Vegetarian Star

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.
