Renee Olstead Learned “The Secret Life” Of Where Food Comes From (Video)
Written by Vegetarian Star on August 13th, 2010 in Actresses, Animal Issues, Videos.
Renee Olstead and her dog Ella Fitzgerald sat down with Peta2 and discussed vegetarianism, dog fighting and dissecting animals.
Olstead got motivated to go vegetarian on the set of a sitcom where a character’s lines reminded her of what she was actually eating when she sat down for a burger.
“I was on a sitcom when I was about 12. And they had this one line where one of the characters was vegetarian and she said, ‘No thanks, I don’t eat anything with a face.’ And I just turned white. From that moment I suddenly realized that what I was eating was alive and had a mother and breathed; and it suddenly became so appalling.”
The video of the interview with the Secret Life of the American Teenager actress can be viewed below.
