“The vegetarians are a little mad at me because I said all the fat people should eat them. Of course I love all people, and I found a lot of vegetarians have a really good sense of humor. So they get it, and we all get along.”

–Comedian Loni Love, on her jokes made about vegetarians. Hard to say which is worst, the cannibalistic fat people joke or the one about your pet pig one day providing dinner. Maybe she should leave the veggie humor to vegan comedian Myq Kaplan.

“Yeah, I’ve totally stuck with it. In fact, I’ve been on detox for about 2 weeks now, and I’m not taking any dairy as well. And I feel great, actually. I feel like, wow, this is cool. I’ve been reading a little bit, I had a debate the other week with a friend about the dairy industry. I said, I eat eggs, and he said, oh you can’t do that if you’re a vegetarian. And then I looked into it, and I found the dairy industry and the fact that they kill a lot of the male chickens because they’re useless, it’s quite barbaric.”

—Fran Healy on how his promise to Paul McCartney to go vegetarian has also steered him away from eggs and dairy.

“It’s certainly putting veganism, veganity we call it in this movie, the vegan lifestyle is put out there. Todd isn’t necessarily the nicest promoter of the vegan lifestyle but it speaks well of it to say that you get the power of telekinesis and superpowers because you’re more clear, you’re more healthy, all of those things. So I think that they all have a good sense of humor.”

—Brandon Routh, on how he thinks vegans react to the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World movie in which he plays a vegan ex boyfriend who uses superpowers the diet gives him to fight Scott Pilgrim.

“One of my favorite dishes is roasted vegetables–I just put the veggies in a pan, then toss them with some olive oil, garlic, and salt before roasting. And I was never a fan of avocados, but now I love to slice them open and add a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar, or honey and salt.”

—Vanessa Lengies, sharing some of her favorite plant things to Vegetarian Times in the September 2010 issue.

“Most of the girls that I date are vegetarians . . . They always leave me, but stay vegans.”

—Russell Simmons to the New York Post at the Bold Native premiere he hosted. According to Peta’s president’s opinion, he’s doing his job right. Ingrid Newkirk once said vegetarians and vegans should date meat eaters…and dump them once they’ve converted to start working on another person.

The women in Russell’s life must be very eager to break away from him to spread the vegan news.
