Joanne Rose is featured in Supreme Master TV’s “Vegetarian Elite” video series.

Joanne is an author who’s written both a vegan children’s book, Tommy Tofu Saves The Day, and a sketch comedy called “Date A Vegan.”

“Date A Vegan” humorously exaggerates how vegans behave.

“I became a vegan in 1994,” says Joanne in the video. “I was raised a meat eater. But that’s not through anything else than just conditioning. That’s what we’re used to. Then it was in a cooking class in high school that we learned what a vegan was. We heard about a vegetarian and a vegan. And they said that a vegan just eats plant food. And I was sitting there in the kichen in the cooking class thinking, “Eats plant food?!”  But then it was only a matter of time I was vegetarian. I knew to make that decision-the direct link between animal cruelty and killing of animals.”

Watch the video to see Joanne’s kitty Remy and learn more about Joanne’s passion for veganism.

Who doesn’t love a little Daryl Hannah?

Vegetarian, eco-friendly, and cute all in the same package, this actress was recently profiled by Supreme Master TV as one of their “Vegetarian Elite.”

Daryl made the decision to go vegetarian at only 11 years of age because she couldn’t stand to bite into animal flesh, but soon found benefits beyond her personal taste. As an environmentalist, her lifestyle made a bigger impact on the planet than she realized.

“I became a vegetarian at 11 years of age because I could no longer associate the food I was eating from the creature it had been,” she said. “And I just couldn’t gnaw on the flesh of creatures anymore. It grossed me out. The health and environmental benefits turned out to be a bonus. Often I find when I do something from a purely compassionate place, aspects I never considered seem to benefit as well, illustrating how we are truly connected to all life.”

Watch the video to learn how Daryl played on the boys’ soccer team in school, because there wasn’t one for girls!

Ellen DeGeneres And Portia de Rossi Host Yes! On Prop 2 Party

Yes, most of us dropped a tiny tear at the news of Bambi’s mother dying, but other than that, unless you grew up vegetarian or on a farm or ever worked in a meat market, you were probably shielded from the horrors of learning how the food on your plate got there.

In contrast, when “Bones” actress Emily Deschanel was growing up, she heard pigs slaughtered regularly.

“I was about 10 years old on an island and they killed the pigs right behind where we lived. And you could hear them screaming. That was a pretty terrible thing to hear when I was so young. And that just kind of sort of started [me] thinking, ‘How can people treat another animal that way and if we can live without doing that then why wouldn’t we live that way?'”

The video of her discussing her experience is featured at SupremeMasterTV
