Mike Tyson

Mike Tyson is quite fond of his tiger friend in The Hangover.

In real life, he’s just as enamored with the big cats and he recently said during an interview that he’s owned several of them and curls up with them in bed just like many do with a kitty from the shelter.

“My impulse came from a documentary about rastros, which is what they call slaughterhouses in Mexico. And in this documentary, you could see the cruelty that the animals suffered and the way in which they kill them and how they leave them to bleed out.

Ruben Albarron, in an interview with PETA, explaining his reason for going vegetarian. The singer of the popular Mexican musical group Cafe Tacvba struck a pose in one of its ads promoting the meatless diet, Revolucion Vegetariana.

Cicely Tyson

Cicely Tyson is a true spokesperson for what the vegetarian diet can do for longevity.

Almost into her 80s, the actress once compared putting the right foods into your body much like running a luxury car on the right fuel.

When Washington Post food editor Joe Yonan was invited to a summer cookout, he warned the host in advance he was veggie.

The host had no problem–just advised him he’d be cooking his own dinner.

Catherine Guidici

When Catherine Guidici agreed to become engaged to Bachelor Sean Lowe, part of her reason had to be his sense of humor.

Apparently, Catherine is a champ at speed eating beef.

Michelle Pfeiffer is gracing the cover of the October 2013 issue of Ladies Home Journal.

Looking better than ever, the 55-year old actress partially credits her looks her good fortune to the vegan diet she currently follows, but she hasn’t always been a model for good eating.

Contrast her plant-based diet to the one she ate in her 20s, for example.
