Vegetarian Star

Cicely Tyson isn’t a woman who takes to lying in bed too well. So she does everything she can to stay healthy, which includes following a strict vegetarian diet.

While talking to the Pittsburgh-Post Gazette, the subject of diet came up for the 75-year old actress who’s played roles in The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman, Roots, and Tyler Perry’s Madea. She’s set to star in the Hallmark Channel original movie, Relative Stranger this weekend.

Q: I understand you are a strict vegetarian, and you keep yourself fit.

A: That’s mainly because I am not a good patient. (Laughing.) I do not like not feeling well. We have a tendency to give all the love and care to material things. I mean, if you have a Rolls-Royce and you pull up to a gasoline station, you don’t put crud in it. You put the most expensive oil and gas in your car. You want it to be treated well in order for it to serve you well. We should start thinking that about this body of ours.

Awesome metaphor, Cicely!
