HLN anchor and journalist Jane Velez-Mitchell says she’s not opposed to dating a non vegan woman–if the woman was serious about getting her veggie act together!
“If they were on the way [to veganism]!” Jane said, according to The Scavenger. “One of the great things of meeting new people is to be able to expose them to an alternative way of living.”
But watch out, any woman who expects to date the vegan queen on CNN–remember what PETA’s president said about dating non vegetarians and dumping them once they come to the other side?
A few other highlights from the interview:
On how others react to her vegan diet and lifestyle:
People are curious. I don’t bring it up as much as people bring it up with me. So I’ll be in the makeup room and something will come up and the conversation will turn to me being vegan. It’s a radically different world in terms of how people view veganism even from five years ago. It’s much more mainstream and accepted.
On what prompted her to go vegan:
I’d always had compassion for animals but never really followed through. I was this sort of vegetarian that ate shellfish. Then I met Howard Lyman, the author of Mad Cowboy who was on Oprah. I did an interview with him and he asked if I ate dairy and I said yes and he called it ‘liquid meat’. From then on I went vegan in that moment and have never looked back. It radically transformed my health – the colds I had every year went and my energy levels went up.
