Vegetarian Star

“I became a vegetarian at the end of the Pyromania tour [in 1984]. I wanted to do it for ethical reasons…I didn’t like the idea of eating slaughtered, tortured animals. The vegan thing was more of a health thing, getting clogged-up dairy stuff. Most cows who are still alive, and some of them have an okay life and are [milked] properly, they’re tortured as well—just slammed into these pens in these pretty nasty things.”

–Def Leppard’s Phil Collen on what motivated him to go vegetarian.

“The fact is, most people in the U.S. eat way more meat than is good for them or the planet, but even knowing this, the chances are little that we are all going to become vegetarians, much less vegan. Asking everyone to go vegetarian or vegan is not a realistic or attainable goal, but we can focus on a more plant-based diet and support the farmers who raise their animals humanely and sustainably. This is why I am such a big believer in the Meatless Monday Movement and the Environmental Working Group’s Meat Eaters Guide to Climate Change and Health.”

—Mario Batali, on the Environmental Working Group’s site that helps potential part-time vegetarians learn how to reduce their footprint. The guide discusses both the environmental and health benefits that are gained from reducing one’s intake of animal products.

“I’m a life-long vegetarian. I’m a mother of three kids, two of whom are quite young and I’ve got to be able to ski, snowboard, surf, kayak, paddleboard and all that stuff and dancing has now become a major way to be in shape for all of that. Definitely my body has been in shape since I took on this role so I’m going to be doing the Honey Rag, every day.”

“I went with a friend to [California’s] Santa Monica Pier. We were idly watching a guy fishing; he reeled in a fish, and the poor thing was gasping and writhing. I thought, I’m going to take a break from the animal-killing thing. I still think about the fish, and wish I could communicate to that spirit how many lives it saved.”
