Steve-O has gone completely vegan, according to his website, steveo.com.
After toying with vegetarianism and pescatarianism, Steve-O, who’s real name is Stephen Glover, had made the official plunge into a total animal-free world.
“When I first became involved with PETA, it was on an “issue-by-issue” basis- they interviewed me in my old apartment about animal abuse in the circus as I sat on a leather sofa,” the Jackass star writes.
“At that time I was a meat-eater, and told them I believe that if anyone is going to wear the flesh or fur of an animal, they should at least have the decency to eat the meat of that animal. That comment led to my involvement in PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.”
Steve can currently be seen in PETA’s Cruelty Doesn’t Fly ad campaign where Pamela Anderson strips potential passengers of fur, leather, and wool.
“The following year I chose to stop eating meat (and stop wearing or purchasing anything made out of leather), however, citing reports that Jesus Christ fed lots of people with fish, I continued to eat fish. Most recently, for just over a month now, I’ve kept to a strictly vegan diet and I’ve not felt “hard-done-by” at all. I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods- and I plan on continuing to do so.”
Steve’s currently not out convert everyone to veganism, and says “a vegan diet isn’t for everyone,” adding “It’s not my choice to try to tell people how to live their lives (not anymore, anyway!).”
