Jillian Michaels has whittled down her animal intake to sustainable fish, citing her reasons to the Houston Chronicle as being for animal welfare.
“Personally I’m not eating chicken or beef right now. It’s not about health; it’s about the slaughterhouse practices. I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, whole grains, fish, organic yogurt and eggs and a lot of beans and nuts. But I also eat things like dark chocolate.”
Those who avoid red meat but still eat chicken may want to know that, according to the Humane Society of the United States, about 95% of land animals in the United States slaughtered for food are chickens, which undergo painful deaths to get to the plates of Americans.
