Vegetarian Star

“I’m not trying to make the world vegetarian or vegan, but if most people ate vegetarian or vegan 70 percent of the time, that would be a huge change in our health, that’d be a huge change in our environment, we’d have some huge, lasting changes.”

–Ultramaronthoner Scott Jurek, during an interview with Colorado Daily where he talked about fueling his multiple mile run wins with only plants.

“[Being vegan] changes everything. First of all your looks. You don’t need any expensive creams anymore because you skin, hair and fingernails just look better. And you lose weight – without the yo-yo effect.”

“Before I became vegan I didn’t even know how good I could feel. I don’t have mood changes that much anymore and I am much fitter. You became more sensitive in a good way and you pay more attention to your body.”

—Alicia Silverstone, during an interview with the German edition of Grazia magazine. You’ve heard Alicia’s story. Now it’s your turn. How has going vegan changed your life?

“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

—Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

“Industrial animal production destroys everything it touches. It destroys the animals, it destroys the workers, it destroys the communities, and it destroys the people who consume the animal products… Unfortunately, the people who produce meat, the people who produce dairy, and the people who produce eggs – they’re lying to you. So do what you can, educate yourself, know where your food comes from, and then make the ethical choice.”

—Moby, in a PSA against the large-scale industrial production of animal products for food.

“Years later I went to a Farm Sanctuary event and I saw these cows. Their utters were so enormous that they were dragging down the ground that they were limping and falling down. And this is happening because I eat cheese! I said never ever again. That was it!”

—Rory Freedman, co-author of the best selling Skinny Bitch books, in an interview with Global Grind on what made her change from vegetarian to vegan. Because cows on farms are forced to produce unnaturally large volumes of milk–often with the assistance of machines–they’re likely to have breasts sorer than what you’d experience after a usual mammogram. A bacterial infection in the udders, mastitis, is very common in dairy cows but they are also prone to developing Bovine Leukemia Virus, Bovine Immunodeficiency Virus, and Johne’s disease (the human counterpart to Crohn’s disease).

“Yeah, I like being vegan, I think it’s good for my health. But honestly, one of the main reasons I’m vegan is because I’m ethically lazy. My friends who eat meat or who eat eggs have to sometimes wrestle with the ethical consequences of their actions. By being vegan, I take the easy way out.”

“Caring about what you eat and trying to make it tasty and educate the public is not some kind of fringe activity of tree huggers but, a matter of fundamental survival and continued vitality of our society starting right here with my family and my employees.”

“Eco-friendly fashion is something I’ve always felt strongly about. You have to create demand so the customer base will grow. We’ve been doing organic for years in my own collection, in my lingerie and with the Adidas collaboration. We touch on it across the board. I think it’s a bit more sincere to do that. It’s part and parcel for us as a brand.”

—Stella McCartney, who recently opened a store in Saks Fifth Avenue in New York. In addition to not using fur or leather in her collection, McCartney has used some of her prints to raise awareness and money for her family’s Meat-Free Monday campaign in the UK.
