Ben Stiller was a guest on Conan recently where he shared the fact he has embraced a vegan diet.

Giving up meat and dairy wasn’t the hardest part, though. The toughest obstacle to overcome was explaining his lifestyle choice to his parents.

“I had to tell my parents I was a vegan, I came out to them,” said Stiller. “They were a little bit confused at first, but now they’re supportive.”

Christine Taylor

Christine Taylor and Ben Stiller are trying to raise their children on a plant-based diet, but Taylor admits it’s a little harder once they’ve been introduced to animal products.

“We have friends that are vegan and their kids came out vegan,” Taylor told People. “I’m so jealous that they had the information and they started the kids early because now to go back, it’s a little harder.”

The information on raising healthy, vegan kids is available from dozens of reputable sources, including Lisa Dorfman, board certified sports dietitian, registered dietitian, licensed mental health counselor, director of the Masters in Nutrition for Health & Human Performance Program in the Department of Kinesiology & Sport Sciences at University of Miami, and author of four books on nutrition including the The Vegetarian Sports Nutrition Guide.

Natalie Portman Mocks Ben Stiller, Meat Plant At Oscars

Comments Off on Natalie Portman Mocks Ben Stiller, Meat Plant At Oscars

Besides donning her lovely vegan shoes and ethical jewelry at the Academy Awards recently, vegan Natalie Portman also took a stab at a meat processing plant. 

She and Ben Stiller presented an award together, and Ben decided to imitate the recent makeover, or shall we say unmakeover, of vegan Joaquin Phoenix, sporting a long scruffy beard and matching unkempt hairdo, complete with weirdo behavior.

Portman said, “You look like you work in a Hasidic meth lab.”

Many are speculating Portman was referring to a 2008 federal raid on a Hasidic-owned and operated Agriprocessors meat processing plant in Postville, Iowa.

Authorities discovered several infractions, including equipment for producing methamphetamines.

This is the same plant at which PETA secretly recorded a video on its controversial slaughter practices. 

Other allegations included rabbis insulting workers while throwing meat at them, undocumented and illegal workers, and various health and safety issues.

Will Ellen And Portia’s Compassion Rub Off On Samantha Ronson?

Declare Yourself Rebirth of Citizenship Inauguration Kick-off Event in Washington

Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi threw a big birthday bash for themselves this weekend.

Both ladies’ birthdays are very close together, Ellen turning 51 on January 26 and Portia turning 36 on January 31.

Lots of celebrities were on the invite list, like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox and her husband David Arquette, Drew Barrymore, Sacha Baron Cohen and Ben Stiller.

A vegetarian meal was served, of course, and DJ Samantha Ronson, girlfriend of Lindsay Lohan, provided the tunes.

Yes, THE Samantha Ronson, who was upset because Californians voted to approve Proposition 2, a measure to improve the conditions of certain farm animals, but also voted to approve defining marriage as between and man and a woman only.

She had blogged about the results:

“I guess people care more about farm animals than they do their fellow man, that’s really sad to me.”

“Yes, i am glad that the chickens will have more room and better conditions as they wait to die, but i just think it’s frightening that people show more compassion for tomorrow’s dinner than for the chef.”

“Yup, miss piggy and chicken little may rest easy, but gay people in florida and california can no longer get married…”

Ouch! PETA wrote to Ronson asking for her support for animals just as much as they would continue their support for equal rights for gays and lesbians.

Ellen and Portia are both vegans, have expressed their concerns for animal rights, and were supporters of Prop 2.

Hopefully, if Sam continues to rub elbows with the happy vegan couple, some of that compassion might rub off on her.
