Jillian Michaels has whittled down her animal intake to sustainable fish, citing her reasons to the Houston Chronicle as being for animal welfare.

“Personally I’m not eating chicken or beef right now. It’s not about health; it’s about the slaughterhouse practices. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, organic yogurt and eggs and a lot of beans and nuts. But I also eat things like dark chocolate.”

“Yeah, I’ve totally stuck with it. In fact, I’ve been on detox for about 2 weeks now, and I’m not taking any dairy as well. And I feel great, actually. I feel like, wow, this is cool. I’ve been reading a little bit, I had a debate the other week with a friend about the dairy industry. I said, I eat eggs, and he said, oh you can’t do that if you’re a vegetarian. And then I looked into it, and I found the dairy industry and the fact that they kill a lot of the male chickens because they’re useless, it’s quite barbaric.”

—Fran Healy on how his promise to Paul McCartney to go vegetarian has also steered him away from eggs and dairy.
