Vegetarian Star

For all of you enjoying your Kind Diet book copy, you’ll be pleased to know another Alicia Silverstone work may be on the way.

But first, she has to announce she has a child on the way.

“Yeah, but I want to wait until I have kids and then write a book for children,” Alicia said, when asked if she planned to write another book.

“I have a lot to say about kids, but I don’t think anyone wants to hear that when you don’t have them! [Laughs.] So I want to have kids and go through, ideally, a whole natural-birth experience.”

Maybe Alicia and Erykah Badu could do some talking about natural birth together? Erykah could teach Alicia how to coherently Tweet while doing so.

Until Alicia puts a vegan baby on board, pick up a copy of That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals by Ruby Roth to teach your children about a vegetarian lifestyle.

“I was teaching art at an elementary school and the kids were all very curious about my veganism. I shared my point of view with them and they responded with incredible insight and clarity. Many of them, even being raised on meat and dairy, wished to go vegan, but there was no support system in their schools or homes. I looked, but couldn’t find a book on the subject that wasn’t based on a talking animal or vegetable — which I felt they were too smart for. I feel strongly that whatever you do, whether you’re a housecleaner, makeup artist, or a lawyer, you have the power to create change within your field. So I decided to write the book myself.”

—-Ruby Roth, author of That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals on why she wrote the children’s book, which has been praised by vegetarian and vegan celebrities like Rory Freedman and Alicia Silverstone.

Not ready to let your 5 year old watch an animal being skinned alive yet? No problem!

For any parent looking for a children’s book to introduce some arguments on choosing the vegetarian lifestyle, That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals, is a great start.

Author Ruby Roth uses a gentler approach (no slaughterhouse pics included) to teach children about the relationship between the food on their plate and animal suffering and even touches on environmental issues.

Roth also incites empathy for animals by letting readers know they experience pain, sensitivity, and happiness, which is another way children can relate.

The book is recommended for grades 3-6.

As expected, several notable vegetarians have praised the book, including actor Ed Begley Jr.

“In a time when we are all working to go green, I am thrilled that That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals makes the connection between food and the environment, inspiring children to be aware and involved.”

Primatologist Jane Goodall had this to say:

“This is a powerful and important book. Farm animals have emotions similar to our pets and this is conveyed in Roth’s enchanting illustrations. It will make children – and their parents – think. But it will not lead to nightmares, rather respect and compassion for the creatures whose wellbeing is in our hands.”

And actress Alicia Silverstone added:

“Like many people, I knew as a child that I didn’t want to eat animals. That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals would have offered me the guidance and inspiration I needed to understand those instincts. This book is a must-have for anyone who loves animals.”

That’s Why We Don’t Eat Animals was released in May, and can be purchased online.
