In addition to being an accomplished freestyle swimmer, winning gold at the 1956 Melbourne and 1960 Rome games, Rose dabbled in acting, having an appearance in the 1964 film “Ride the Wild Surf,” and the 1968 action film “Ice Station Zebra.”

He did it all on a completely plant-based diet and described himself as being ahead of his time in an age that he claimed vegetarianism “wasn’t really cared for.”

Jessica Chastain

Watching what you eat is the equivalent to being forced to watch old videos of your parents “jive talk” dancing to the Bee Gees music of the 70s.

Yeah…not pleasant.

Award-winning actress Jessica Chastain has found a way to avoid such a pain by simply removing all animal products from her plate. Since going vegan, she claims she doesn’t have to watch her weight as much as the lifestyle naturally keeps her fit.

Craig Ferguson Comedian Has Vegetarian Compromise Plan (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, April 12th, 2012 in Comedians, Food & Drink, Videos.

Craig Ferguson hosted Minnesota comedian Bryan Miller who took the opportunity to make a few jokes about the vegetarian lifestyle. Miller’s wife is vegetarian. He is not. Cue the outrageous stories.

Vegetarians who live with/have close relationships with carnivores should consider Miller’s plan to open a “vegetarian compromise restaurant.”

“We’re still going to serve meat,” Miller said. “But only the parts the animals can afford to live without.”

Although he is still allowed to cook meat at home, Miller says wife insists they shop at the local co-op, paving the way for jokes about the price of goods that come with labels like fair trade.
