We at Vegetarian Star know how much you like snooping in celebrities’ grocery bags, so we thought we’d bring you more voyeuristic fun, this time with Bryan Adams.

Adams, longtime vegetarian and supporter of Peta, allowed Dr. John Briffa to examine the contents of his grocery bags. Dr. Briffa is known at The Guardian, for putting celebrity favorite foods under scrutiny. Here’s what Adams had to say:

Adams: I became a vegan for my health 20 years ago. I abide by the rule that if it looks like it’s going to clog your system, it probably will. People don’t understand about me being vegan, but I’m not a preacher, I simply have my view on what works for me.

I start my day with fruit juice and a mixed fruit salad. Dinner is salads or, if I’m not on a raw-food diet, then pasta or something veggie that’s cooked. If I’m in the studio then the food tends to be garbage for the most part, unless you’re lucky enough to have it catered in. I have been known to bring avocados to the set with lemons.

Here’s what Dr. Briffa had to say:

Avocado

Avocados are rich in monounsaturated fat, which has a variety of heart-healthy properties. They also offer up a decent portion of protein, especially for a fruit, which helps sate the appetite.

Dried fruit and nuts

Nuts will provide protein which can be deficient in the vegan diet. They are also rich in monounsaturated fat and other nutrients beneficial to the cardiovascular system. Dried fruit is also relatively healthy – not just for vegan rock stars, but other mortals too.
