Vegetarian Star

“Eight years ago, I read [Eric Schlosser’s] Fast Food Nation. It brought my attention to the gigantic machine that abuses animals and the people who work in the industry. And my dad was vegetarian, so I didn’t grow up with the stigma people attach to it: that you’ll become anemic, or have trouble walking up steps.”

—Seamus Dever, actor who plays detective Kevin Ryan in the ABC series Castle, in an interview published in the September 2012 issue of Vegetarian Times.

Ben Stiller was a guest on Conan recently where he shared the fact he has embraced a vegan diet.

Giving up meat and dairy wasn’t the hardest part, though. The toughest obstacle to overcome was explaining his lifestyle choice to his parents.

“I had to tell my parents I was a vegan, I came out to them,” said Stiller. “They were a little bit confused at first, but now they’re supportive.”

Jesse Eisenberg has recorded a PSA for the Humane Society of the United States that advises against buying exotic birds in stores.

Eisenberg had the opportunity to voice the character of a Macaw in Rio, a film about the trafficking of exotic birds and the destruction of their natural habitats.

“If an animal’s natural home is in the wild, then chances are, that’s where it belongs,” Eisenberg said. “Unfortunately, the demand for these intelligent, complex creatures—whether captive-bred or wild caught—is decimating the wild parrot species.”
