On Saturday while working out, I turned on the TV, went to MTV and the movie Beauty Shop was on. It had Queen Latifah in it so i knew it was going to be good. But there was also another actress i've seen before. You know that girl from the Scooby Doo movies and obviously Clueless, Alicia Silverstone.
Vegans aren't so called "hippies", "too-healthy" or even aneroxic, they are people who know what they're talking about. Now, she's got the brains and she's sticking to what she knows, and what tastes good! In her new cookbook The Kind Diet, she gives amaazing recipes and tips for becoming vegan. Why kill other animals to satisfy your hunger? Not only will it be hard to digest, but brutally infesting your body with growth hormones. Yeah, some will ask "Where do you get your protein?", well if you haven't known already, the well-known vegan food quinoa is a complete protein. You'd be surprised how much protein tofu, tempeh and seitan have!
Here's some quick interviews with Alicia about being a vegan;
Now on the other hand, Ellen DeGenerous. Can't. Stop. Watching. Her. Show. Not only is she hilaarious, she's vegan! (Same with Portia) I just found this out after all these years of watching her show. Now, i love her even more! She became vegan mainly for the economic benefits to help the environment, save water and live a cruelty-free lifestyle, while getting the health benefits from it tooo!

I just learned that Chelsea Clinton is vegan last night! Super cool. I love Ellen, too! She's the best. I just wish she wasn't a spokesperson for CoverGirl, since they test on animals... But hopefully she just won't renew her contract with them, and maybe sign on with a cruelty-free company instead! :)
ReplyDeleteDrew Barrymore, however, is not vegan. I believe she used to be - or at least vegetarian - but she definitely isn't anymore. Bummer.
I never knew she was until I saw magazines everywhere that had articles on her vegan wedding! But, the thing is.. her cake wasn't vegan! They used eggs in it.. sadly. But Bill Clinton's becoming vegan to support his daughter, aww how sweet and smart of him!
