Vegetarian Star

Rise of the Planet of the Apes is coming to a theatre near you this month, but don’t expect to watch any real apes while you’re munching on popcorn.

The film uses computer generated imagery to create realistic images of animals without having to subject them to the potential stresses that might occur if they were actually on the set.

“We wanted to tell our story without using live apes for any number of reasons,” said director Rupert Wyatt. “It would be a cruel irony to tell the story of the exploited and repressed and use live apes to do so.”

What’s a parent to do? You’re a vegetarian, trying to bring your kids up that way, but all the screaming munchkin is asking for is MEAT.

If you’re Ziggy Marley, you give in from time to time.

And Erykah Badu thought she had it bad just because her daughter wouldn’t stop begging for vegan snacks.

Ziggy, musician and son of legendary Bob Marley, spoke with Celebrity Baby Blog and said that although he is very picky about food and tries to keep his children on a vegetarian diet like he is, sometimes he gives in.

“I’m kind of cool — I let them eat some meat,” Ziggy said. “It’s all good.”

There’s always the debate over whether to raise a child vegetarian from birth.

Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis won’t do it. Diane Keaton’s not too enthusiastic either. 

Some say it isn’t fair to enforce any lifestyle on a child until it’s old enough to decide. Looks like Ziggy’s kids know what they want. But should he give it to them?

With the range of fake meats on the market, there’s nothing little Daniel, Justice, Zuri, Judah, and Gideon can’t ask for that doesn’t come in an animal-free variety.

What do you guys think? Is it “all good” for a vegetarian parent to give into a child’s meat wishes occasionally?

Andy Serkis is one of those fish eating vegetarians (thanks to playing Gollum while filming Lord of the Rings in New Zealand), who used to be completely vegetarian, but like Diane Keaton, isn’t forcing the lifestyle on his children.

“We [he and his wife] tried to bring our children up vegetarian and it was fine until they start mixing with other kids and going back to the houses and having hot dogs,” he told Babble.

“Rather than kind of going “You’re not going to eat hot dogs,” we said they can wait until they can make their mind up and let them decide where they want to go. It’s kind of pointless to push them at this point. I know that there are great parents who are very good and manage that side of it well, but that’s not the way it’s gone for us.”

At least he and his wife won’t have to worry about raising any Aisha Tylers.

The actor plays a villain named Capricorn who escapes the fantasy world of storybooks and enters reality in his most recent movie Inkheart.
