Aisha Tyler Rebelled By Eating Meat When Parents Weren’t Looking
Written by Vegetarian Star on September 9th, 2008 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.
As an adolescent, how did you rebel? Break curfew? Dress trampy and date the bad boy? How about eat meat behind mom and dad’s back? Aisha Tyler of Fox’s 24 and Ross’ girlfriend, Charlie, in Friends, was a very, very bad girl. In an interview with Britain’s Night and Day magazine:
“I love food. I’m not someone who has ever been able to survive on lettuce leaves. My parents were vegetarians and I went to school with sandwiches with tofu and greens. None of the other kids wanted to trade their lunches with me. It forced me to be funny and make friends. I had to assimilate with the other youngsters even though I felt like an outsider. When other kids were rebelling by smoking and drinking, I was going out and sneaking meat on the side. It sounds crazy but my idea of rebellion was to buy a turkey dinner and eat it without mum and dad knowing.”
Bad Aisha. Bad, bad, bad. That’s an act punishable of at least a year’s worth of grounding. And who said anything about surviving on lettuce leaves? Didn’t Tyler’s parents know about Morningstar Farms?
