“I have a lot of fans in predominantly Muslim countries like Malaysia, where my preoccupation with pork surely did not go down well. I have a lot of vegetarian fans, and it’s a constant surprise and delight to me that they find me entertaining, considering my dubious view of their lifestyles.”

—Anthony Bourdain, on fans that do not necessarily agree with him. Yes, most vegans can forgive the comment that they are a “persistent irritant to any chef worth a damn” after learning that he actually believes meat isn’t necessary, some of Paula Deen‘s food isn’t fit for even a rodent, and places like McDonald’s are some of the scariest around.

“I went vegetarian when I was twelve, and I went vegan about a year and a half ago. I actually did a pilot for a show and there was this character that had a line: ‘I don’t eat anything with a face.’ I made the connection between life and what’s on my plate. Ever since then, I haven’t been able to eat meat.”

“These cute adorable baby calves jumping around, playing around, would be on someone’s plate someday. And I said, ‘Wait, so people can eat them?’ Mom just shook her head because she knew what was going to happen. I couldn’t eat those precious cows. They were my babies. I bottle-fed some of them. And now I knew where they went.”

—Carrie Underwood, during a VH1 Behind the Music interview on the lighbulb moment she experienced that prompted her to become a vegetarian.

‘I’m a vegetarian, although my husband isn’t. I’m not a fanatic, as that can put people off. I didn’t want anything to die so that I could live, it didn’t seem right. No matter what people say, animals face an appalling end, and somehow colluding with that makes me unhappy.”

—Joanna Lumley on her diet with The Daily Mail. During the interview she and writer Liz Jones also touched on the topic of rescuing cats and dogs.
