Vegetarian Star

So there are different beliefs on what constitutes being a vegetarian or vegan. Obviously, eating a hamburger makes you no sort of vegetarian, but can you be a true vegan and still have honey? And does wearing leather shoes make you a hypocrite?

Corey Feldman doesn’t think so and is fed up with media being critical when he does so. Especially when he didn’t buy the item he’s being criticized for.

“People always want to point a finger at you,” he said, in an interview with Ecorazzi. “You know I did this show years back called “The Surreal Life” and the number one thing was people giving me shit all the time because of some edited scene where I’m fighting with Gabrielle Carteris saying, “Oh well you’re wearing leather shoes,” and they never got my argument into it.”

“…if somebody gives you a pair of shoes, say for Christmas, what are you gonna do throw them in the trash because they’re leather? No, you have to honor that animal that died for it. But I’m not going to purchase it.”

Actually, that does sound reasonable. Even PETA donates fur coats to the needy, because it makes “the best of an awful situation,” after those who bought the fur decide it’s no longer ethical to wear it.

Actress Daryl Hannah has stated she only wears leather when it’s a gift, after being questioned about a pair of suede shoes she was wearing.

Moral dilemmas never have easy solutions. How do you or would you handle one like this? Do you wear wool or leather if given to you? Do you pass it along to charity? Let us know, and help everyone else make a better decision as well.
