Vegetarian Star

Persia White has an exclusive interview with Radar Online where she dishes the dirt about vegan fashion.

The hardest part about going vegan was finding non-leather shoes at first, but Persia soon found out there are plenty of animal free alternatives to replace the ones she gave away.

“At first Leather was hard, because of giving away all of my shoes,” Persia says. “Lately, it’s changed. There is a world that is growing and expanding that is cruelty-free designers!”

Some of Persia’s favorite designers include Costume National, Melissa Plastic Shoes and Stella McCartney.

“I wasn’t born vegan. I became a vegetarian when I was 12 years old. I started eating a vegan diet nearly 10 years ago. I did it gradually—and it has changed my life. It’s all about a shift in perspective. The more I learned about the beauty of a plant-based diet, the more my mind and heart opened up. Your journey will help change the world. What you eat not only improves your health—it benefits the entire planet.”

—-Persia White, on her transition from eating meat to becoming vegetarian, and finally, becoming vegan.

Persia White co-produced the Joaquin Phoenix narrated Earthlings, a film about the use of animals by humans for food, fashion and entertainment.

Seems natural for a vegetarian gal like Persia to have such passion for a project, and Persia explained to Beauty Interviews how she joined forces with director Shaun Monson and Phoenix help create an award winning film.

“I met Shaun Monson the director and he was trying to put together Earthlings as project of passion. I was already involved in animal welfare. Getting involved in Earthlings was pretty intense because there were still a lot of things I didn’t know. To raise compassion and awareness is so necessary. The documentary is not just about animals it’s about how we treat each other as well. How we have empathy for the weak and we don’t abuse it. It exposes the truth. It is a very difficult film to get into mainstream because there are so many corporations that will hurt if their secrets revealed.”

“It was very difficult. Joaquin Phoenix is a wonderful actor, and like myself, a vegan. However, Joaquin is booked and away so much. He’s schedule was intense. But we did it. The music was donated by Moby.”

Thank goodness Moby‘s music was used versus Phoenix’s rap tracks.

“Thanksgiving is a time to reflect and express our gratitude for all that we have to be thankful for. In the true spirit of this holiday, take a moment to think about the importance of all life. By choosing a vegetarian diet, every one of us can take part in ending the cruelty animals endure on factory farms. Like cats and dogs, turkeys are intelligent, social, and sensitive beings who want to live. Give thanks this holiday and save a life.”

Although Halloween isn’t even here yet, Unturkey day will come before you realize it. Start planning your birdless day now for a happy and cruelty-free celebration.

Joaquin Phoenix has left the building. Well, the director’s building, that is. After over two decades of acting, the Golden Globe winner wants to concentrate on his singing career. His veganness may give him an advantage.

Many singers refrain from dairy before a performance, saying it creates mucous and clogs their pipes. Some in the medical profession disagree, but those who follow the practice would bet a record contract on it.

Vegan actress and singer Portia White (who co-produced an animal rights film Phoenix narrated, Earthlings) once remarked how she noticed less problems with sinus and congestion hindering her voice once she made the transition to completely vegan.

Wishing him well on his vocal endeavors, everyone take a deep breath and sing, “Do Re Mi Fa So La Milk No.”

“Yes, Yes, Yes for Prop 2 for every reason. It’s good for the animals, the planet, your heart, the environment – it’s so important. It’s sets a precedent that’s brand new, which is just that we’re gonna change a system that been in place for a long time, that’s so suppressive and so hidden, just because we think it’s wrong…and that’s beautiful! That’s like a shift in human consciousness. And everyone can be a part of it.”

—-Persia White, in an interview with Ecorazzi. Prop 2 is a California ballot measure that would prohibit some farm animals from being confined so that they cannot move around freely.
