Meatless Mouthful: Christie Brinkley And Artichokes Go Way Back
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 17th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful, Models.
“For most of my life I’ve had a thing for the artichoke, because it was such an exciting vegetable. You could do so much with it. I first saw it on television, on “The Little Rascals.” I had my own artichoke plate, with a place for the heart to sit. To this day I still go crazy for them. But I also eat broccoli every day, it’s like taking a vitamin. And I like leafy green vegetables. But artichokes and I go way back.”
—-Model Christie Brinkley, at a fund-raising luncheon for the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York. Brinkley became vegetarian at 13 and convinced the whole family to follow her lead. She recently starred in a Got Milk? ad.
