Vegetarian Star

Sure, she may be the queen of dispensing advice on eating right on a vegan diet, but Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman used to be a junk food lover, as she reveals in this latest video during an interview with PETA.

“I’m the girl who used to eat fast food every single day of my life,” Freedman says.

Veganism should be about health, but that doesn’t mean it always needs to be the brown rice and kale Freedman is getting cozy with in the camera. Veggier versions of desserts and vegetarian fast food restaurants are popping up around the globe.

Ah, would you like to recommend Tofurky Jurky to the office jerky who everyone tries to avoid?

That might not be such a bad idea as Boston Celtics legend and NBA Hall of Famer Bill Russell said being vegetarian made him more friendly and cooperative.

From a recent interview:

Q: Your book talks a lot about male friendship. You thought your intense competitiveness made it difficult for you to have friendships. Are you competitive about everything?

A: No. When I was playing I was, extraordinarily so. But after I retired I was a vegetarian for a couple years, and it’s probably silly but I thought carnivores were very competitive. I thought if I was vegetarian, I would be more co-operative than competitive.

Q: Did it work?
A: Yes, and I was better able to exercise friendship.

Of course we already know being vegetarian doesn’t interfere with the competitive edge of being an athlete, given the highly successful veg men and women out there.
