Vegetarian Star

Ingrid Newkirk’s story proves even the most carnivorous human can change.

The president and co-founder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has recently revealed she didn’t always care for animals-unless they were on her back or plate.

In her new book, The PETA Practical Guide to Animal Rights, Newkirk writes, “There was nothing I loved more than my fur jacket. In my 20s, I was eating my way through the animal kingdom, and what I didn’t eat I wore.”

Wow. PETA queen was the queen of pork and mink?

Who would’ve thought?

PETA’s co-founder and president, Ingrid Newkirk, sat down with green gossip website Ecorazzi.com over a vegan bacon cheeseburger for an interview.

Ingrid’s latest book, The PETA Practical Guide To Animal Rights, has just been released and offers tips for everyday folk to get involved with protecting animals.

Ingrid said one of the most important things an activist can do is to arm themselves with answers to some of the most commonly asked questions.

She, like Russell Simmons, also said Barack Obama should stop publicly going out for cheeseburgers and opt for healthier, vegetarian choices instead.

So many are talking. Think Mr. President will get the message?

Watch the video to hear what Ingrid had to say about Michael Vick and other topics.
