Brendan Brazier

“It takes a bit of a time investment. For some people it may be just two to three weeks. For others, who’ve been eating a typical American diet for four decades, maybe six, seven, eight months.”

–vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier, in an interview with The News-Press, on how long it takes to get used to a plant-based diet if you’re used to a steady one of meat and potatoes. When you finally reach the moment when seitan works just as well as steak, “it doesn’t feel restrictive,” he added.

Clive Standen knows what it means to be a tough guy.

He plays the fearless warrior Rollo on the History Channel’s drama Vikings.

Vikings may fight, raid and do other seemingly barbaric activities, but the one thing this Norse hero won’t do is whale.

In a PSA for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, Standen explains why “Real Men Don’t Whale,” and regardless of what took place in ancient times, there’s no place for whaling today.

“I may play a merciless Viking on TV but there’s no place for such barbaric behavior in the 21st Century,” Standen says in the video. “Join me in making whaling ancient history once and for all.”

Lea Michele

“I was a vegan for two years, and I really enjoyed it. Then, I got to a point in my life at which I wanted to do something else, so now I’m a vegetarian. You should make your diet one that best fits you and how you feel. Listen to your body. The most important thing is to exercise, drink lots of water, and take really good care of yourself.”

Lea Michele, from a list of her most memorable quotes compiled after her recent birthday. The actress turned 27 yesterday and is looking better than ever, something she can probably at least partially attribute to following some kind of plant-based diet.

He Should Have Gone Vegan a Long Time Ago:
“Oh my God, if I was a vegan when I should have done this thing, man? I remember when I became a vegetarian and my game changed. I couldn’t imagine if I was a vegan back when I was playing. The thing about the NBA, any pro sport, is, guys don’t know how to take care of their body.”
