Vegetarian Star

Celebrities are taking full advantage of Twitter these days, serving as their own paparazzi.

Amber Benson, the actress best known for playing Tara Macclay in the TV series, Buffy The Vampire Slayer, recently Twittered (or is it Twitted?) what she was chowing down on to get her strength up before a book signing event.

“Eating veggie udon to get my strength up before the 4 o’clock signing at the Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore in San Diego.”

Yes, this gal is multi-talented. Actress, writer, film director, and film producer who considers herself one of those “pescetarians,” although she was full time vegetarian for 14 years. 

Amber’s recent Twitter entry makes a little more sense than vegetarian screen star Russell Brand, who humorously claimed to be an inhumanely farmed animal who milked himself, the ingestion of cheese made from his own products rendering him not fully vegan.

“Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Dollhouse” actress Eliza Dushku angered animal rights groups recently when she announced on the “Jimmy Kimball Show” she took an Elk hunting trip to Oklahoma.

“A lot of people eat meat…and I eat what I kill,” she said in defense when the audience reacted negatively.

PETA responded to her in a statement, “Slaying bloodthirsty vampires on Buffy is brave, but slaying innocent animals where they live and raise their families is cowardly and cruel.”

Plus, it’s more environmentally friendly to slay and eat the vampires on Buffy.

Most of us vegetarians would obviously cringe at Miss Vampire Slayer’s actions, but you can probably bet most people in Kimmel’s audience weren’t vegetarian. And even some vegetarians don’t have problems with the theory of only killing what you need to eat in the wild, as long as it’s done quick and humanely. It’s mass factory farming and its destruction of the environment they’ve got a beef (pun intended) with.

No, most of them drive (or hopefully at least walk sometime to reduce their carbon emissions) to the grocery store and pick up meat that originates from an animal that wasn’t allowed to roam freely, pumped with more steroids than a pro bodybuilder, and slaughtered in the most inhumane way possible.

If killing animals for food worked similarly to misdemeanors, Dushku’s actions are Class C while the majority of meat eaters carry Class A on their records. Hunting for your own food and preparing it, in all its natural blood and guts, makes it impossible for someone to detach themselves from the origin of their food, something most meat eaters have long been able to do.
