Oscar award winning actor, Forest Whitaker, puts on another superb performance in his latest movie, The Butler, where he personally serves our U.S. presidents, spanning the decades from Eisenhower through present day, with the Civil Rights movement heating up as a historical backdrop and context for the story.  Fans may not know that he is a committed vegetarian and has been for many years. He is quoted as saying that “life is full of choices and….it was one of the best choices [he's] ever made.” His reasons for adopting a plant-based diet are simple:

•To improve your health  (A vegetarian diet can help you to lose weight and avoid health problems such as heart disease, diabetes, and several types of cancer.) 
•To help the environment 
•To save animals 

Forest’s daughter, True, joined him in filming a public service announcement explaining why they are both saying no to meat. Children see it so clearly—True says, I love animals!” More about Forest Whitaker...

Alanis Morissette has declared that she now eats about 80% vegan and the other 20% is mostly seafood and “a lot of fish.” She may be taking some flack for moving in a backwards direction, slipping away from veganism, but her beliefs are still strongly rooted in food as healing medicine. In the magazine, Energy Times, she praises the benefits of eating a plant-based diet and important books such as “The China Study” and “Eat to Live.” More about Alanis Morissette...

Irish born model and 2003 Miss World, Rosanna Davison, is featured on PETA’s most recent European ad campaign where she promotes their new slogan “Vegans are Red Hot.” Laying nude on a bed of red chili peppers is sure to draw attention from vegans and non-vegans alike as Davison proudly showcases more than just her veganism. Read more about Rosanna Davison
