Isabel Lucas was spotted heading for breakfast with a male friend at the Alcove Cafe & Bakery in Los Feliz, California.

Who knows what the Transformers actress ordered, but Lucas has gone veggie since watching Earthlings, so she may have taken advantage of the cafe’s curried tofu.

Seen in more than one dish at the vegetarian friendly restaurant, including the curried tofu benedict with sesame seeds and spinach, or tossed into the vegan wrap with hummus, grilled portabello mushroom, arugula, cucumber, tomato, radish and avocado in a spinach tortilla.

Isabel Lucas has been voted Australia’s Sexiest Vegetarian in a contest held by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Lucas beat competitors like Missy Higgins, Imogen Bailey, Andrew G and Xavier Rudd.

Lucas went vegetarian after watching the documentary about the use of animals in the food, fashion and entertainment industry, Earthlings.

Isabel Lucas is a vegetarian and animal rights activist who’s views have even gotten her arrested on occasion, such as the time she protested against the dolphin slaughter in Japan.

Years ago, she wasn’t as outspoken about her beliefs.

Until an incident with a frog changed that.

When she was 10, Isabel saw a boy torture a frog to death.

“I was shocked and upset with myself for not saying anything,” Isabel said. “I felt so guilty and furious afterwards.

“From then on, I thought if anything like that happens again, I’m going to say something. I’m grateful to him for that experience – that’s how you learn, through your mistakes.”

“I do feel I am in a unique position where I can use my public status to draw attention to things that matter to me and hopefully a lot of other people as well.”

Isabel Lucas may have two men to thank for her going vegetarian.

The actress stopped eating meat after watching Earthlings, a documentary narrated by Joaquin Phoenix at Red Hot Chili Peppers front man Anthony Kiedis‘ home.

“I don’t feel limited by not eating meat. I eat lots of veggies and pasta and nuts, tofu and soups,” she was quoted by Popsugar as saying.

Being the environmentalist she is (she climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise awareness of the lack of clean drinking water in many areas), it’s no surprise Isabel would take the natural step by not participating in something that largely involves the very earth unfriendly practice of factory farming.

“Looking after the environment and doing things in nature was really an integral part of my life growing up. I love the environment and I want to be able to protect it.”

Isabel Lucas has pulled out of an animal rights documentary titled Rights Revoked, after not being able to get along with her co-star Elissa Sursara.

Wow.

It’s like save the whales, but you can’t use my markers to make your poster.

According to bscreview.com:

“The 24-year-old booming actress cites brewing on-set tensions and personal discomfort for her decision, while Sursara remains on board for the project, something fans of Lucas’ congratulate her for. Said one comment on a News.com.au subsite, ‘I commend Elissa for sticking to her passion for animals and not backing out like a baby.’”

If there’s any reason to get up in the morning to look at someone you don’t like, it’s definitely a higher purpose like animal welfare.

The Transformers star insists she is ensuring the document will be successful, as having many “anger” and “messy emotions” will get in the way of the production.
