Vegetarian Star

What’s better than a pescatarian who only eats more sustainable wild caught fish? A former pescatarian who’s even better for the environment because she eats zero fish!

Kirsten Vangsness of Criminal Minds has given up Charlie for good and become a full time vegetarian!

It appears that the CBS series where Vangsness stars as the FBI’s top technical analyst put a temporary cramp in her vegetarian lifestyle and she started to consume fish.

“It’s been 10 years, except for at the beginning of the show when I got out of it and ate fish,” Vangness told Vegetarian Times in the January/February 2011 issue.

Kirsten Vangsness plays Penelope Garcia, the technical analyst of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit on Criminal Minds with a warm and quirky personality that has a knack for finding all the right answers quickly.

Vangsness told Mother Nature Network about her green activities on the set of Criminal Minds, which include installing a water filter instead of using plastic bottles. She is almost a full time vegetarian, eating wild caught fish occasionally.

Wild fish beat their farmed counterparts in many areas of nutrition and eco-friendliness. They have more usable omega-3 fatty acids, less fat, are packaged without the use of artificial dyes to the flesh and come with less pesticides and environmentally destructive chemicals found at  higher levels in farmed fish like endocrine disrupting flame-retardant additives.
