AFI Visits fuse TV's "Distortion"

“I really think for the good of this world that, if I could have it my way, the whole world would be vegan and straightedge. So that’s why I feel it’s important to create an awareness of this lifestyle, create an awareness of the choices people make. To bring awareness about those lifestyles can bring a positive change, if only on the level of an individual.”

Rodale Hosts Launch Party for Al Gore's New Book - Red Carpet

Al Gore has finally come clean about his thoughts on meat consumption and the environment.

“I’m not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,” Gore told ABC Television from New York.

Gore had been criticized in the past for claiming to be an environmentalist, but not discussing the effects of the meat industry and global warming, especially in his narrated documentary on the environment, An Inconvenient Truth.

“It’s absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis – not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process.”

“You could add in the health consequences as well.”

Gore advocated eating more fruits and vegetables, but is not quite ready to go vegetarian or tell anyone else to, for that matter.

“I’ve made those changes, and while I don’t go quite as far as Nick saying everybody should become a vegetarian – partly because it’s difficult enough to get the agreement without adding that on top of it – it is a legitimate point of view.”

Ah, come on, Gore.

Don’t be such a faux wiennie. Just cut the animal out of your dietary equation, okay?

Author Jonathan Safran Foer was on The Ellen DeGeneres Show recently to talk about his latest book, Eating Animals.

Jonathan touched on the fact that most people aren’t aware of the conditions of factory farms.

“Unfortunately this image that we have of a farm has created a distance between our values and our actions,” Jonathan says.

“We continue to believe that the meat on our plate comes from these idealyc places. I wish that it did, but it doesn’t.”

Watch the entire video to feel the veg vibe as the two vegans chit chat.
