Michael Clarke Duncan PETA Ad For Vegetarian Diets (Video)

Michael Clarke Duncan, best known for his role as John in The Green Mile and currently Leo Knox on the Fox television series The Finder, has recorded a PSA for vegetarianism for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Duncan was plagued with several health problems before going vegetarian and recalls it was a birthday approximately three years ago that prompted him to change. That change included switching to plant-based proteins like beans and tofu and giving away all his Omaha steaks, fish and chicken entrees to the neighbors.
We hope he tries to give them samples of seitan every now and then too.
Besides health, being an animal lover (he owns six cats, two dogs and several fish), watching the film Meet Your Meat and reading Skinny Bitch and Skinny Bastard all helped seal the deal.
“I never knew what the process was from that animal to my plate,” Duncan says in the PSA.
“Once I looked at an animal like that I cleared out my refrigerator of about $5,000 worth of meat.”
“The best thing about being a vegetarian for me is number one I know I’m not harming any animals.”
At 54 years of age, Duncan’s physique is proof of the statement printed on the ad: “Going vegetarian can prevent–and sometimes reverse–our nation’s biggest killers such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, cancer and stroke. Muscle your way to better health. Go vegetarian.”
