Vegan Celebrity I Love: Ben Stiller


I just love this actor and was really interested to find out that he had recently gone vegan...well almost. He still eats fish but whatever he`s doing, it`s working! He`s feeling great and looking fit and handsome. Here is the article I saw about him on Ecorazzi: http://www.ecorazzi.com/2012/07/28/watch-ben-stiller-comes-out-as-vegan-to-his-parents/

While promoting his new movie “The Watch” on Friday’s Conan, Ben Stillerexplained how he was able to perform action-heavy sequences without a stunt double: his conversion to veganism.
Stiller discussed his recent dietary changes, which include giving up coffee as well as animal-based foods. He also mentioned the hardships that can accompany the lifestyle. “I wanted to have ribs,” he told O’Brien, “but I had kale chips.”
Yet the greatest challenge for Stiller was telling his parents. “I had to tell my parents I was a vegan, I came out to them,” he said to much laughter. “They were a little bit confused at first, but now they’re supportive.”
Stiller isn’t quite a full vegan. He has yet to give up fish, but with other meat, dairy and eggs out of his diet he is almost there.
