Vegetarian Star

Carrie Underwood‘s VH1 Behind the Music bonus clip has the country music superstar explaining how her life growing up on her parents’ cattle farm prompted her to go vegetarian.

“My whole life we always had cows,” Underwood said. “Everybody had cows. People had sheep, people had everything,” she continued, referring to the farming community she lived in.

“I’d eat my hamburger and we’d have like spaghetti or baloney or hot dog or whatever and I just never thought about it. Never crossed my mind what that used to be.”

Kathy Freston is featured in the October issue of Tails Inc., a magazine devoted to all things pet-friendly for pet owners.

All pet owners and anyone who loves animals should be attempting to go vegetarian or vegan, or at least reduce their intake of animal products.

Farmed animals like pigs, chickens and cows are just as smart, loving and compassionate as your own pet. And unhealthy byproducts of the meat industry often end up as pet food, a practice potentially both dangerous and unhealthy.

“I had a little Chihuahua who I was in love with,” Freston explained about one of her motivating factors to go vegan. “She was lying on her back, and I was rubbing her belly. She had a smile on her face, and I could tell how happy she was. I was thinking to myself how much I loved animals. Then a little voice inside my head said, “If you love animals so much, why are you eating them?”
