Vegetarian Star

“For years I was considered a goody two-shoes for being a vegetarian and avoiding wheat. But I don’t do this for vanity, it’s to feel good. I don’t talk about it. I think it makes people feel rubbish if you constantly talk about your eating habits. I actually find it quite vulgar.”

—Sadie Frost, on being the less vocal vegetarian these days. Does discussing your diet too much make you sound vulgar? Keep a clean mouth by stuffing it with plant-based goodies. Occasionally, offer to share some without offending.

“As a New Jersey native I was delighted to learn from my friends at The Humane Society of the United States that our state could be the first in the country to enact a ban on the importation and sale of ivory – a product of horrific cruelty to elephants and rhinos, who could very well become extinct within decades if we don’t act now. Governor, you have my full support and I hope you usher this critical bill through without delay.”

—Meryl Streep, in a statement addressed to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, urging him to sign bill S.2012/A.3128 into law, prohibiting the sale and trade of elephant ivory and rhino horns in the state.

“Spiritually being a non-vegetarian was blocking me. It was hard to leave and I won’t say that I don’t crave it, but you can do it with your will power. Eating just vegetables and food without blood or flesh, is so nice. My skin, face and how I feel as a person has changed. And I feel it’s a small price to pay for so many things.”

–Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, on how she benefited from switching to a vegetarian diet.
