Howard Stern Considering Going Vegan Like Co-Host Robin Quivers
Written by Vegetarian Star on December 16th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Food & Drink, Radio Hosts.
Howard Stern is the perfect candidate for your next vegan.
He’s married to animal welfare activist and author of a book about caring for dogs, Beth. He’s got a co-host, Robin Quivers, who’s been vegan for half a decade and showed the world how it’s a great path to a trimmer waistline by losing 60 pounds from following the diet.
But, really, how does Stern feel about a diet of seitan and soybeans?
“I need to get involved eventually in this vegan shit, like Robin, cuz this is killing me,” he said on a recent show.
Stern was having a conversation with one of his employees, Richard, who discussed raising a calf that he grew to love as a pet, and how he felt about having it killed, then eating it. This Richard character may need some therapy, because apparently, the butcher gave the calf’s eyeballs back to him as a gift. How heart warming.
Adding to the reasons why he should stop eating them, Stern brought up the intelligence, personality differences and beauty of animals.
“They’re smart animals, they say they’re bright like 3-year-olds,” Stern said about pigs. He also commented on the recent New Jersey bear hunt. “They had this beautiful bear upside down on some guy’s truck.”
When referring to the calf Richard eventually ate, Stern said, “and he would follow you, and you would feed him, and lick you, and miss you…he had a personality.”
More details on the show can be found at vegan.com.
Yeah, we feel Stern should be getting into that vegan shit any day now. He just needs Robin to slip a little something into his next green drink.

Thanks for the article. I know many people don’t like Howard Stern but I absolutely adore him and have been listening to the show for many years. It’s been thrilling to me to have Robin Quivers on the air talking about her diet (even if Howard likes to tease her about it). Howard says a lot of things so there’s no telling if he’ll actually go vegan, but if he did – WOW. That would be huge – dude’s got millions of listeners.

I am around the age of Howard; enjoy listening when not too raunchy. His wife is young, and at first I wasn’t approving (thought he just married a trophy wife), but now I think she’s wonderful. Has done a lot of things on her own, and should be commended for her animal welfare work. Also, thank you Howard you spoke for so many of us!
