Vegetarian Star

Look, it’s a naked man. No, it’s a PETA ad. No, it’s a prostate and testicular cancer prevention ad.

Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine is posing in UK Cosmo nude in order to bring attention to prostate and testicular cancer and remind men to check for signs and symptoms. The photo shoot, on behalf of the organization Everyman, UK’s prostate and testicular cancer campaign, isn’t something unnatural for Levine, as he claims he’s always naked.

“I often have to be told by the people around me that it’s inappropriate to be as naked as I am,” Levine revealed. “But I live in California, where it’s always warm, so why not.”

VegNews magazine interviewed Maroon 5‘s bassist Mickey Madden and learned about his journey to veganism as he gradually gave up animals products, starting in high school. These days he finds it easy to keep up what he started as he says all the band members are supportive of his diet, making it easy to eat well on the road. Oh, and that Tweet sent by Adam Levine on aiming to be a vegetarian after the steak indulgence–it probably doesn’t happen too often, as Madden says Levine is 85% vegan.

“We’re all extremely health-conscious and everyone is really vegan-friendly. Adam [Levine], the singer in the band, in particular will eat, I’d say, about 85-percent vegan for health reasons. All the band members are meat-eaters, but they’re not close-minded and [they] understand the principles of veganism. It makes a big difference. It’s so strange, I obviously have reasons that relate to the world at large for my veganism, but it’s so much a personal choice and a matter of personal preference that I’ve never understood the reaction to it that some people have.”

Some people mistakenly call eating chicken or fish or only abstaining from red meat vegetarian. Adam Levine calls vegetarian what he promises to do every time he comes home from the steakhouse.

During a recent Tweet, Levine wrote, “Being a vegetarian usually consists of eating a steak and promising that tomorrow I will start being a vegetarian.”

Mmmm…And who doesn’t have a sweet tooth for him?

Adam Levine and the rest of the guys in Maroon 5 held a Halloween party that was completely vegan.

They called upon the expertise of raw food chef and author Ani Phyo to cater dairy free treats such as Happy Halloween Chocolates and Apricot Kream Filled Acai Tartlets.

According to Ani’s website, most of the guys in the band are vegan.

You can look at a picture of Adam’s costume, along with some of the other star guests who attended, such as Adrian Grenier from Entourage who went as Oliver, from Oliver’s Twist, on Ani’s blog.

If delicious pics of the guys don’t satisfy you, try making one of Ani’s recipes.
