Jennifer Widerstrom from NBC’s Biggest Loser is teaching fitness by practicing what she preaches.

A former American Gladiators star, she’s known for her ripped physique and athletic skills. But she’s recently experienced an enlightenment that’s made her think as much about what she’s lifting with her fork as what she’s lifting on the barbell.

Seth MacFarlane gave an interview to PETA where he discussed the use of animals in the movie industry and the impact of animal welfare on his latest film, A Million Ways to Die in the West.
