Vegetarian Star

Actress Daryl Hannah grows her own produce and thinks bio-fuel is still a better option, despite some blaming it for the rise in food prices, since the production of ethanol uses food crops.

“I’ve personally witnessed the devastation in the Amazon that the oil companies have wrought upon these indigenous communities. There are open, unlined waste pits, rainbow oil slicks on the streams, high cadmium and lead poisoning in the children and wildlife. When you see these crimes, you have no choice but to speak up,” she said.

“In the case of ethanol and corn production. it is partly responsible” (for food price rises),” Hannah admitted in an interview.

But she insists that there are other sources that bio-fuel can be harvested from, including, “garbage, hemp, algae, moringa, jatropha, cellulose waste and prairie grasses.”

The vegetarian once told a source that she found it very upsetting to eat a lobster on the 1984 Movie, “Splash.”
