Quantcast Vegetarian StarThe Secret Life of the American Teenager

Renee Oldstead

Renee Olstead and her dog Ella Fitzgerald sat down with Peta2 and discussed vegetarianism, dog fighting and dissecting animals.

Olstead got motivated to go vegetarian on the set of a sitcom where a character’s lines reminded her of what she was actually eating when she sat down for a burger.

“I was on a sitcom when I was about 12. And they had this one line where one of the characters was vegetarian and she said, ‘No thanks, I don’t eat anything with a face.’ And I just turned white. From that moment I suddenly realized that what I was eating was alive and had a mother and breathed; and it suddenly became so appalling.”

The video of the interview with the Secret Life of the American Teenager actress can be viewed below.

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood Daren Kagasoff–Fur Real Or Fur Fake

Daren Kagasoff's Girlfriend Wants You to Notice Her!

Jacqueline MacInnes Wood and her Secret Life of The American Teenager boyfriend Daren Kagasoff were spotted at Madeos in Beverly Hills during a romantic dinner night out.

If Jacqueline knew the secret life of the average fur factory farm, where animals are kept in cramped cages and skinned alive for their pelts, she might think twice before donning a real fur vest and opt for a Rachel Zoe faux vest instead.

Of course, she may already be wearing a fake…

What do you think?

Is Jacqueline faking it? Or is she fur real?

Wyntergrace Williams Veg School Lunches Ad Hits Primetime

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, August 25th, 2009 in Film & TV, Food & Drink, Videos.

Do you tune into The Secret Life of the American Teenager?

If so, you might have caught Montell Williams’ daughter, Wyntergrace Williams, in a primetime ad meant to urge Congress to ensure vegetarian options are always available in school lunches.

Wyntergrace is now giving dad a run for his daytime talk show money!

The campaign brought to you by the folks at the Physicians’ Committee For Responsible Medicine, is an effort to get changes made to the Child Nutrition Act, which sets the standards for school lunches.

Other vegetarian names like actor Tobey Maguire and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone have lobbied Congress for these changes as well.

See what happens when you follow us on Twitter. We write a post about you.

We’re just tickled pick that actor Larry Sullivan reads us. And even more tickled that we found out about him.

Sullivan, who Tweets @larrysullivan, is a vegetarian who’s had roles on “24,” “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation,” (wonder if he shared a veggie snack with Jorja Fox) “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” and “Grey’s Anatomy,” to name a few.

According to Vegan.com, after seeing one of PETA’s Kentucky Fried Cruelty’s billboards, he went on the Internet to do his research and realized he couldn’t possibly not be a vegetarian.

“Hours later, I was still at the computer crying like a baby realizing what I had been a part of for so long. I made the decision right then that I was going vegetarian. The timing was perfect. What better New Year’s Resolution than that! So New Year’s Day 2006 was the day my life (and the lives of many animals) changed for the better!”

Awesome Larry! Congrats for being in the exclusive Hollywood veggie club.
