Quantcast Vegetarian StarAlicia Silverstone Couldn’t Stomach Eating Dog Or Any Other Animal

Stormbreaker - UK Film PremiereAlicia Silverstone has opened up about her early vegetarian days.

According to Starpulse.com, the actress tried being veg at age eight, but cheated from time to time until she got a little older and was able to think about where her food was coming from. After she realized meat came from animals just like the dogs she helped rescue, the vegan deal was signed.

“I started thinking, ‘Why am I saving one animal and still eating steak? How can I love these creatures so much… and keep eating meat?’ Ultimately I thought that if I wasn’t ready to eat a dog, I shouldn’t be eating meat at all.”

Why do you think we’ve become so accepting of eating some animals and not others? Is it the cute factor? Or a cultural thing?
