Emily Deschanel “Bones” Character Is Vegetarian For Health

Does anyone remember Emily Deschanel‘s character, Dr. Temperance Brennan, announcing she was a vegetarian early on the show? Deschanel didn’t want a mirror image of her own self in Brennan, so she preferred the forensic scientist not go vegan. Deschanel told Vegetarian Times in the September 2010 print issue:
“I can’t remember if it was my idea or not. I didn’t want her to become vegan–and she’s vegetarian for health reasons, not because of animal rights. It’s important to keep a separation between actor and character. I do always ask for episodes touching on animal rights in the same way. And I ask that there’s a character to present the case for animals in every episode.”
Since Dr. Brennan is a scientist, it’s completely reasonable for her to eschew meat for environmental reasons too. Plus, handling so many human bones would turn anyone away from animal flesh.
Deschanel says that while she used to have an addiction to seitan piccata, now she’s into soups.
