You're In Good Company!


Alicia Silverstone, 2006

Alicia Silverstone

The actress, 29, who had an organic wedding with Christopher Jarecki, was voted the world's sexiest female "vegetarian" (Vegan) in 2004. She says it is the best thing she has done in her life:

"My body just got so healthy and skinny, and my skin became so radiant, that I started looking fabulous anyway."

Last year, the actress, who starred in Clueless and Love's Labour's Lost, suggested that she would like to take her vegan lifestyle one step further: "I'd love to raise a family on a farm and grow my own food, and grow my hair down to my ankles and be a kind of punk-rock hippy." (2005)

Woody Harrelson

Woody Harrelson, 2006

Harrelson, 44, the bartender on Cheers!, has not eaten meat for 15 years. Not only is he vegan, but he also eats a 90 per cent raw diet. At opening night parties, he grazes on vegan canapes and regularly fasts, taking up to a week off from solid food. During one fast he lost 15lb. He has declared dairy to be one of the great evils of the world.

"Yeah, milk does a body good - if you are a calf," he says. "It is evil to your body to put something in there that's designed to make an animal go from very small to very big in a short time." (2005)



Benjamin Zephaniah, Slovenia, 2006

Benjamin Zephaniah

The poet, whose favourite restaurant is Chawalla's in East Ham, is a "militant vegan" who would not sit on a chair made of leather. When asked what he would eat if he was in a desert with no food in sight except a cow, he said: "I'd find out what the cow was eating and join it."

He became vegetarian at the age of 11 and vegan at 13:

"I was disgusted by the taste and texture, and the thought of having flesh and blood against my teeth," he said. "Think of the fierce energy concentrated in an acorn! You bury it in the ground, and it explodes into an oak! Bury a sheep, and nothing happens but decay." (2005)

Moby

Moby, March 2006

The singer, 40, a "vegan fascist" for nearly two decades, owns Teany, a café in New York, which has spawned a vegan soft drinks company. Moby, born Richard Melville Hall, feasts on vegan focaccia with roasted onions.

"When I think of the fact that literally tens of billions of animals are killed nearly every year for human purposes, part of me wants to go out and join the Animal Liberation Front," he has said.

He admits that some people are filled with "ridicule" at the idea of veganism. But he says that it is "second nature" to him. (2005)
