Vegetarian Star

“Eight years ago, I read [Eric Schlosser’s] Fast Food Nation. It brought my attention to the gigantic machine that abuses animals and the people who work in the industry. And my dad was vegetarian, so I didn’t grow up with the stigma people attach to it: that you’ll become anemic, or have trouble walking up steps.”

—Seamus Dever, actor who plays detective Kevin Ryan in the ABC series Castle, in an interview published in the September 2012 issue of Vegetarian Times.

“For people who are actually repulsed by meat, they’re not going to like this. The first reaction I had was, I know this is a meat analogue but if someone were to serve this to me in a restaurant I would have said ‘I think this is a mistake. There’s something about the mouth-feel, the fattiness. It feels fatty and muscly and like it’s not good for you when you’re chewing it. For a long-time vegan, it’s a little bit freaky.”
