Vegetarian Star

Stephen Glover, aka Steve-O “Jackass” is featured in the latest edition of Campus Talk magazine.

It may as well been called the Stephen Glover Veggie Files, because Steve’s interview is all about his vegetarianism.

Now that’s what we call an education.

Here are a few excerpts:

On Eating Meat and the afterlife:
In 2008 I came across a YouTube video that basically scared me into believing I was going to go to Hell if I kept eating meat. After that I became a pescetarian and the only meat I ate was fish. I figured if Jesus was down with eating fish then I could too. I’ve since become completely vegan.

On Not So Animal Friendly television stunts:
I remember PETA having an issue with the first stunt I ever did for Jackass where I swallowed the Goldfish and then puked it back up. There were actually a few situations on Wildboys that compromised my morals but for the most part we made sure Wildboys was a very animal-friendly show.

TMI about that Cruelty Doesn’t Fly Video:
The commercial for the fur campaign was really a lot of fun. Not many people can say they’ve been stripped searched by Pamela Anderson. The crazy thing is when we were shooting I had a big poop stain on my underwear which was kind of embarrassing.

Oh, Steve. You could have spared that last bit of information.

Now that you’ve seen Steve-O’s Anti-Dissection PSA, take a look at the video showing both footage from the shoot and Steve-O sharing his thoughts on dissection.

“We shouldn’t make kids dissect animals,” Steve says.

“They should have the choice to say, ‘On a moral level, I’m not into that.’”

As a student, did you (or do you still) have problems with being able to refuse dissecting in class?

Steve-O, the MTV Jackass star who’s real name is Stephen Glover, is the kind of mentor everyone needed in high school.

He’s joined forces with PETA in an anti-dissecting campaign that advises kids to “Cut Class Not Frogs.”

And who said the jackasses in class never amounted to anything when they grew up.

According to peta.org, “Every year, nearly 6 million animals, including frogs, rats, pigs, and cats” are dissected in classrooms.

Many alternative animal models exist, including frogs and pigs, and science literature indicates that these alternative methods, such as computer software, have been proven either equivalent of superior to the use of live or dead animals to help them understand biology and anatomy.

Steve-O has gone completely vegan, according to his website, steveo.com.

After toying with vegetarianism and pescatarianism, Steve-O, who’s real name is Stephen Glover, had made the official plunge into a total animal-free world.

“When I first became involved with PETA, it was on an “issue-by-issue” basis- they interviewed me in my old apartment about animal abuse in the circus as I sat on a leather sofa,” the Jackass star writes.

“At that time I was a meat-eater, and told them I believe that if anyone is going to wear the flesh or fur of an animal, they should at least have the decency to eat the meat of that animal. That comment led to my involvement in PETA’s “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign.”

Steve can currently be seen in PETA’s Cruelty Doesn’t Fly ad campaign where Pamela Anderson strips potential passengers of fur, leather, and wool.

“The following year I chose to stop eating meat (and stop wearing or purchasing anything made out of leather), however, citing reports that Jesus Christ fed lots of people with fish, I continued to eat fish. Most recently, for just over a month now, I’ve kept to a strictly vegan diet and I’ve not felt “hard-done-by” at all. I have been really enjoying making a project out of seeking out an extremely healthy diet of raw, organic, vegan foods- and I plan on continuing to do so.”

Steve’s currently not out convert everyone to veganism, and says “a vegan diet isn’t for everyone,” adding “It’s not my choice to try to tell people how to live their lives (not anymore, anyway!).”

Steve-O, born Stephen Glover, was known for pulling  dangerous junior high pranks on the MTV show “Jackass.” Now, he’s back on television, this time doing the rumba, waltz, and other dances with professional partner Lacey Schwimmer on the ABC television series, Dancing With The Stars.

And according to various sources, including his sister, Steve-O will be one vegetarian dancing with the stars.

Several reports from the web, like Steve’s blog, mention that he became vegetarian over the recent years.

He did an anti-fur ad for PETA back in 2007. If your memory fails you, here goes…

You can see why we chose the picture at the top to start the post off with. Save the PG-13 materials for later.

Hope Steve is sticking with his veggie diet. Wishing him best of luck on the show.
