Vegetarian Star

The March/April 2009 issue of VegNews features an article titled, “20 Under 30,” about young activists who are the faces of vegetarianism.

Nicole Lapin, CNN news anchor, made the cut!

The 24 year old has a program in which she too recognizes young people who are making a difference in the world, “Young People Who Rock,” which highlights “talented, motivated, don’t-take-no-for-an-answer leaders in politics, business, entertainment, and social activism.”

Nicole’s a vegan, but don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s high maintenance. She once mentioned how easy it is to make meals out of vegan items, and that she could eat anywhere, including a steak house or a gas station. 

Congrats to Nicole for making the cut. For the list of other notable young activists, including two awesome bloggers from Supervegan.com, pick up a copy of VegNews.

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a young journalist who anchors CNN.com Live and has appeared on CNN Headline News, CNN, and CNN International. She decided to go into the field after her parents banned her from watching coverage of the Gulf War because they thought it was too negative. What a way to rebel!

She attended Harvard University at only the age of 15 and eventually became valedictorian of her journalism class at Northwestern University.

She’s a vegan, but says no one would ever notice, as she’s not the picky type and can turn almost any situation into one that feeds her and suits the vegetarian lifestyle.

“I’m a vegan. But, no one believes it because when you’re out in the field, most of your meal options involve meat with a side of something fried. But, I’ve learned how to be creative and improvise and can eat anywhere — even a steak house or a gas station.”
