Jeremy Piven Claims He’s Fish Free, Says “Don’t Blame Fish.”
Written by Vegetarian Star on June 20th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink.
After a bout with mercury poisoning last year, actor Jeremy Piven says he’s hasn’t eaten fish in 10 months.
“I’m a lot better,” Piven told PEOPLE. “What basically happens is when you work your whole life without stopping like I’ve done, you end up in the hospital. Basically, I had a cardiologist say your body is trying to catch up and it can’t. I had a resting heart rate of 47, something called arrhythmia, along with all the mercury poisoning.”
Piven claimed that years of being a “fish eating vegetarian,” caused him to get sick.
If Piven claimed to be a fish eating vegetarian before, but has dropped Flipper from the plate, has he picked up other animals instead? It would be great if Piven learned a lesson and is now following a totally vegetarian diet.
He alleged his illness caused him to drop out of a play production, Speed the Plow.
Piven gave a public service announcement about fish and wanted everyone not to blame them.
“By the way, for the record, it’s the not the fish’s fault. It’s a man-made problem. It’s all the mercury being dumped. Women shouldn’t eat tuna, especially when you’re pregnant.”
Goodness, he’s almost sounding like an environmentalist now.
