Vegetarian Star

Writer, producer, and actor Mike White, who’s film credits include Nacho Libre and School of Rock, has recorded a brand spanking new vegetarian testimonial.

Mike’s “piggy-looking” dog is one of the reasons he decided to stop eating meat and become vegan.

“I would look at him and I’d think, ‘You know, I cannot eat pig anymore’. And besides is my dog really all that different from a pig on a factory farm? They both have their own lives and big personalities and most importantly, the same capacity to feel pain.”

The Amazing Race has a history of not being a very kind race for vegetarians, and this season’s show proved no different.

Mike White was the poster boy for veganism on the show. His father and race partner, Mel, told Buddy TV.com Mike had a hard time finding vegan food.

“Mike is a vegan, and there was hardly any food that he could eat along the way and he didn’t compromise, so there were times where he hadn’t eaten for two days, anything solid,” Mel White said.

Mike White is a successful writer, who’s credits include Nacho Libre and School of Rock.

Last year, vegetarian contestant Terence Gerchberg attempted to eat sheep in an eating challenge, but lost-both the contest and his ability to keep the food down.

A vegetarian last year. A vegan this year. Clearly this isn’t something novel to Amazing Race, nor is a meatless eater novel to reality TV. Is it time the producers of these shows make reasonable accommodations for contestants with dietary preferences?
