Alicia Silverstone combines the crazy-eyed passion of a true zealot with the pasty-skinned waifishness of a true vegan. I admit I've never met a vegan who I would describe as someone who *looks* healthy. Maybe it's the lighting, but neither does Silverstone. Is that just me?

And it was filmed under crappy fluorescent lighting, where no one looks good.

I know tons of radiant-looking vegans, such as my wife, who has become the model of health by eating plants.

Hey, if I'm wrong, I'm wrong. I'm sure you can have a non-meat diet and successfully cover all your nutritional bases, although I'd imagine it's easier for flexible vegetarians than for hardcore vegans. I don't know... Maybe a lot of the vegans I've met aren't doing it right. They always seem to have an underweight and hollow-eyed look I have a hard time incorporating into my concept of "healthy."

One thing that is really important to remember is that this is not a religion. It's not the TRUE way of happiness, health and wisdom. What I admire about her is that she found something she truly believes that it's good and she's promoting it. She's showing the way she found herself and sharing so maybe other people are inspired. That's always a beautiful thing to do.

The only reason these people can get away with eating vegan and/or vegetarian is because we are wealthy and have enormous choices when it comes to food items. When the zombie apocalypse hits, you'll be feasting on red meat along with the rest of us.

A young Hollywood actress selling her diet book is not science by any stretch of the imagination. The claims she makes for this book, which also appears to be a political manifesto, may belong on an infomercial. It does not deserve to be categorized as science on this website.

the Zombie feast came already, after getting the death diagnosis I went vegan and got really strong. The rest of us power balling mother fuckers roll vegan. Occasionally I eat hamburger...Why? Cultural Joy...
