Alicia Silverstone has stripped naked to promote vegetarianism.

The 'Clueless' actress - who was voted sexiest female vegetarian in 2004 -
bared all for the 30-second TV commercial for the goveg.com campaign
launched by PETA.

The clip begins with Silverstone sensually pulling herself out of a swimming
pool, carefully protecting her modesty with her arms.

It follows with soft shots of the blond star perched at the edge of the
pool with her back to the camera revealing her butt and close-ups of her
face.



The 30-year-old actress says over the film, "I am Alicia Silverstone, and I
am a vegetarian", before claiming, "There's nothing in the world that's
changed me as much as this. I feel so much better and have so much more
energy. It's amazing."

The PETA ad' - which was directed by Dave Meyers, who has previously worked
on videos for Missy Elliot - airs on Food Network, Lifetime and E! in
Houston, Texas, on Wednesday, before being shown across the US.

Silverstone also appears in a poster for the campaign, in which she is seen
sprawled on the ground in front of the pool, under the words: "I am Alicia
Silverstone, and I am a vegetarian."

Im having some steak tacos for lunch!  Thanks Alicia!

<3 her

I think that it is everyones own personaly choice whether or not they are vegetarians or not. I respect ones choice. However, i just hate the notion that meateaters are cruel and hate animals. I love animals. Seriously, everyone in my family dont understand why im not a vegetarian because i cannot handle even hearing about an animal being hurt, i ball my eyes out.
But im reastic in the sense that God made alot of animals for us to eat. Its a part of life. And the way that a peta person thinks is just not feesable. To eliminate meat for every peron is impossible. It simply just is. I mean think about it. And like i said, i respect a persons desicion to not eat meat but please dont act like thats one less cow being killed because believe me its not making a difference like that. The only difference it is making is them not eating meat and feeling good baout it, which is fine.

If giving up meat was as easy as stated in that message, then more people would do it. I thought about not eating meat and tried many times but when you drive past a steakhouse and smell the delicious aroma of grilled cow…i can’t resist. lol that probably sounded gross but come on, it’s good. It does suck when they slaughter the animals in a cruel way just to feed people but killing anything is cruel anyways right? I saw this one clip called meet your meat (thnx colostomy) and that was one of the most horrible clips i’ve seen because of how they treat the animals in the warehouse places. It made me not want to eat meat but….didn’t happen. If you don’t eat meat, you are good.

Love it, Citizen Strange! 
Being Vegetarian does NOT help you loose weight! I know plenty of people who are and are not skinny people with great skin, so spare me!

By the way, I saw Alicia in person, in NYC, without makeup and her skin is NOT glowing!  COme to think of it, she looked like shit!

If you are what you, THEN I CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT SHE’S BEEN EATING!

If you are what you eat,...

I wish I had the willpower to never eat meat again. The spirit is willing but…:(

If we weren’t supposed to eat animals…God would have made them poisonous.  LOL That’s my theory any ways.  And why would he have made them smell so damn good when we cook them if we weren’t supposed to eat them?  Hmmm…

I love steak and she has an ugly mouth so I’d be afraid to not eat meat for fear I’d end up with a mouth like that.

The line I love best is, “If God didn’t mean for us to eat animals, he wouldn’t have made them out of meat.”

You are what you eat, and I don’t want to be a “vegetable” LOL

I don’t eat a whole lot of meat & could probably be a vegetarian if I truly wanted to.  But like AgentHollywood said, steak is soso good.  And chicken.  And bacon.  </3 fish, it’s sorta ick.

colostomy,
I believe you that you are an animal lover, but your actions don’t match your feelings.  If you cry everytime you think about an animal being hurt, you must be a hard person to eat with.

Being vegan takes willpower but after awhile i stopped seeing animals as food.  Now it’s easy.

And guess what- animals are posionous- you can only find cholesterol in animal products- that’s right the cholesterol that clogs arteries, causes heart disease, stroke and heart attacks and contributes to obesity- then there’s all the problems stemming from being obese.

If you want to use the God argument- you think there is a god who said these are the animals to pet, aren’t they cute and fuzzy and these are the ones you should keep locked up in cages and eat??!!

I applaud Alicia for speaking out and hopefully some people with a little more intelligence than the people who have posted above will see the ads and be inspired.

we have short digestive tracks because we are meant to be herbivores! that’s why meat can get “stuck” in your system for up to seven years.

Go, Alicia!  I have been a vegetarian for 21 years and a vegan for 5 years.  I believe everyone has the right to eat whatever they want, but I have more respect for hunters (not trophy) than I do for those who eat fishsticks and not think twice about where their meal came from.

wow. lets trade the exploitation of animals for women.  great.

You know, using this whole “sex sells” thing is not doing it for me, speacially when it is Alicia Silversomething!  Wasnt clueless a show from the 90’s? 

Whatever!!!!!!!!!  Go eat a cow!

I personally made the decision in 1994 to not eat meat.  I am not one of those radicalls who make others stop eating meat, or talk down to.  Hunting for deer, turkeys, ducks..  keeps the animal population down, also it help keeps them from runnng into our cars.  I am completely against slaughtering baby seals, or other animals just for there fur or skin.  I believe the whole animal should be used, not just waisted.  To be honest, you do loose a little weight - I lost about 10 pounds- and you don’t feel “so heavy”.  For her to say “animals should not be used for wool” by taking the wool off the sheep, this keeps the body cooler in the summer.  It’s like shaving your dog in the summer.

That seven years thing is a myth.  I’d like to see your research.  Unless you have diverticulitis or something…  Some animals are cute and fuzzy and we might hunt them too if it were socially acceptable.  Oh wait..don’t they eat dog and horse in other countries?

If becoming a vegetarian/vegan means I get to look like her, I’ll take my chances with the hunk o’ cow flesh, tyvm.

But, I guess it’s perfectly okay to talk about being cruel to animals, yet ignore the plight of millions of starving people all around the world.  And hey, when you’re a member of an organization that supports terrorist groups such as the Earth Liberation Front, you really are the last person on the planet who should be talking about harming innocent creatures.

Anyway, back to steak…

Beef is whats for dinner

Alicia Silverstone is not relevant anymore..uh, when was she relevant?
Get a life and have a pork-chop.
Enjoy!

Yet another rich celebrity running at the mouth for PETA…nothing more than propaganda aimed at people who simply do not understand biology. Cholesterol is poisonous? Without cholesterol we would not make any steroid hormones, among other things. How about genetics, don’t they play any role in health (try over 50%)? Any nutritionist worth their salt will tell you: there is NO such thing as a BAD food, but you can certainly overeat. Humans also have NO carbohydrate requirement…a nutrient found in plants (not that plants aren’t good for you, too). How did humans develop larger brains than other animals?? Hmmmm animal protein and fat anyone?? And look at an amino acid profile of a plant versus an animal…animal protein is of better quality (for humans). And, most livestock in the US are treated much better than many many people in the rest of the world…don’t anthropomorphize, people! They aren’t humans! Life isn’t a carnival!

i am sure she is a good person & all, but i never really found her to be the least bit attractive or sexy. great hair, though… she has always just seemed so dull, not charasmatic at all.

Sheep NEED to be sheared.  Animals can have safe and humane “haircuts”.  These fibers are spun in to yarn.  Not everyone uses harsh practices in obtaining wool and fibers from these amimals.  The way you PETA people lump all things together is just as sick to me as the idea of eating meat is to you. 

If you want to have a cause that is worth something, what about third world countries that have small CHILDREN picking cotton in the fields?  These kids are starving, not paid and have no education.  Their tiny little hands are cut, blistered and raw, but, I guess in your minds, that’s okay, because they are not animals.  It sure is okay to hurt children as long as it’s not a bunny or anything like that?  And it’s not wool, right?  (Yes, that is sarcasim)  Opinions should be shared - not forced on others. 

I am going to sit on my leather chair, knit a mohair scarf and have ham sandwich.  But I will put some lettuce and tomato on it as well.

If you don’t want to eat meat - fine.
If people want to eat meat - fine.
It is what makes the world go around.  And we all have to live with the choices we have made or will make.

go eat a cow - then have a heart attack. Everyone knows red meat is not a wise choice.

What do you think killed Atkins of the diet fame.

Why are all you meat eaters so angry? Why don’t you like it when you see a fantastic looking woman who is vegan?

Debbie, there are a lot of meat eaters who look fabulous too.  And there are a lot of vegetarians who look like crap.  Vegetarians and meat eaters alike run the gamut, looks-wise.

marianne, you’re an idiot.  If I name an extreme vegetarian who died, does that prove vegetarianism is unhealthy ?  Everyone who has a brain knows that humans are by nature omnivores.

If you are opposed to eating meat for some personal reason, then by all means don’t eat it.  But don’t just make up sh*t to try to convince everyone else to abstain.  It makes you look dumb.

Try reading Diet for a Small Planet and you’ll see arguments for a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle.

Rag-no-mo’ got no_mo_brains from it.

i’d like to be a.. fruitarian. but i love my chicken.

and yeah, they eat dogs in korea. it’s a delicacy. well, that’s what my buddy that went to the army said. *shrugs* he said he ate it and it tasted like deer. they hang the dogs up and shock them. he said at his base when they ran every morning, they ran past where they killed the dogs and you could hear them howling. then they threw the “scraps” into the stream nearby for disposal. he said it was absolutely disgusting. don’t know what to believe anymore but.. yeah.

I feel sorry for all you people who, like a post before said, get all angry when vegetarians talk about their reasons for not eating meat. It’s like you automatically assume your lifestyle is better than mine or Alicia’s. You use arguments like “humans are natural meat eaters” (sorry but, look at the teeth of a cat and then look at the teeth of a horse what’s more similar to ours) or “sheep NEED to be sheered” and you compare that to humans who have their hair cut…that’s complete idiocy and you apparently know nothing about sheep or wool. with that argument you’re I’m afraid next you’re going to tell me that geese need to have their beaks shorn off and force feed so we can have our fois gras…Has anyone ever told you that some things are just more important that your own personal comfort (should chemical companies be allowed to dump toxins into a lake just because it’s easier??)...I’m sorry bust most of you all seem like ignorant fools unable to see the other side of the coin, which in this case is a healthy humane way of living which, if it were as bad as you all seem to think, than there wouldn’t be thousands of people turning to veganism and vegetarianism. You say things like “radical vegetarians”, like not eating meat is so radical only the insane would want to be vegans, it’s nothing new folks!, plenty of famous historical figures didn’t eat meat…ever heard of Jesus??? And here’s a quote from Leonardo Da Vinci one of the most visionary men to have ever lived “The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” No one is forcing you to do anything, but before you pass judgments why don’t you educate yourself and maybe talk to a vegan or vegetarian, or look at how the rates of consumption of meat (and dairy) has grown dramatically (gee don’t you think profit could be involved in this). And try looking at some objective facts…meat eating has increase at the cost of our health…and as a teacher who works in a poor school in the inner city I can tell you I’ve seen first hand girls in 3rd grade prematurely growing breasts which I have been told is the result of the fast food and hormones in the meat and dairy. I became vegan because I didn’t want to support factory farms that are nothing more than torture factories (ever seen where meat comes from??) I also experienced enormous health benefits and as the commercial said, more energy. I don’t miss meat at all, and you couldn’t pay me to go back, and for those of you who say it’s too hard, but there’s a larger issue too, American’s eat way too much meat and most people would stand to benefit by decreasing their intake of animal products, and that’s not radical in the least bit, it’s common sense…besides have you ever heard of will power??...for those of you who have ever given up anything in the past, yes may be hard at first, but after awhile the desire dissipates, I’m talking about the millions of people who have given up smoking, or who have just stopped purchasing products that have been tested on animals, or changed from a hairspray containing CFC’s to less damaging ones…For starts, nothing makes it more difficult to do something than when you say “I can’t” or “I could never…”

Hey, Nicole…thanks for the novella.

Now let’s set a few things straight here.

One, the only one purporting any lifestyle to be better than any others happens to be the one who calls being a vegan “less cruel” or “more humane”.  Blah blah blah.

You want to be a vegetarian?  Go right ahead.  I’m sure as hell not going to force a piece of steak down your throat anymore than most of the meat eaters here would.  HOWEVER, organizations such as PETA have tried and will continue to try to FORCE people such as myself to follow a vegetarian lifestyle.

You want to talk about cruelty to animals?  How about we talk about the tens of thousands of acres of Brazilian Rainforest that have been destroyed to plant soy crops for products such as Tempe and Soy Dream, thus destroying the habitat of millions of creatures, many endangered, many undiscovered? 

How about we talk about the millions of animals that die each year due to pollution from factories that produce faux products to appease anti-fur and anti-leather consumers?

How about we talk about the countless children whom are starving right now who could have been fed on the money spent on just THIS PETA ad alone?

But, since you’d rather talk about the meat eating in this country, let’s talk about how almost HALF of the meat grown in this country is exported to other countries, which in turn helps pay for some of the things that most people, vegetarian and omnivores alike take for granted, like JOBS?

How about we talk about how the teeth of a human looks more like that of bears (fellow omnivores) than those of horses, and that to try and use horses and cats as comparison is poor spin, but spin nonetheless?

How about we talk about how quoting Leonardo Da Vinci, please be sure to use correct ones, for this quote wasn’t by him, but was attributed as such by a novel ABOUT him.

How about we talk about Jesus, who ENCOURAGED the consumption of animals such as fish?  (John, 21:11)

How about we talk about the fact that for as long as time can remember, there have been girls (my mother included) who have started puberty at as young an age as 9, and some even younger?  To blame it on fast food is ridiculous and unfounded.

How about we talk about the fact that you CLAIM to be a teacher, yet your diatribe is filled with fallacies, lies, improper punctuation, misspellings, spin, and above all else, simple lack of common sense?

Bottom line is this:  Eat what you want to eat, but don’t DARE try to guilt trip anyone into being just like you and then say that THEY’RE the ones forcing their beliefs on you or anyone else.

If you like to eat meat, then enjoy.  I’ll just stick to my vegetarian diet.

I hope there are more of these ads to come, like maybe a Joaquin version.

Perhaps you are one of those people who think Iraq was the “cause” of 911 and whatever other lies you are told on TV and believe because you don’t educate yourself. Perhaps you think killing and the death penalty are humane, perhaps you even call yourself humane and think war is good. I don’t know who you are or what you do with your life, but you sure come across as very ignorant. I can tell you this I doubt you have ever been in the type of schools I have been in and actually seen third graders with breasts (third graders in case you don’t know are a bit younger than 9 years old) and going through puberty at 9 is actually within normal range - I’m talking about 6 and 7 year olds (or did you just selectively skip that part) perhaps you would like to go visit a factory farm and see for yourself? Then again if you think the definition of “humane” is to Rodney King someone than this whole paragraph is probably pointless. It’s funny you talk about the rain forest in terms of it being bulldozed for tempe and tofu…do you even know how much space (and carbon) it takes to make a package of tofu vs. a steak. Why don’t you go read up on some of this stuff…I don’t mean to make these comments at the expense of your ignorance but I’m sorry you’re just not making sense and certainly not being very factual (oh wait you said I’m the one not making sense and being factual). I’ve never heard the depletion of the rain forest being blamed on the production of tofu (considering most soybeans that we eat come from the U.S.) And I you’re walking up a slippery slope by referencing the bible as fact, personally I don’t believe Jesus ever existed,  but I know that the bible was highly “edited” by the church, had many authors, and thus there are many contradictory statements made, aside from all that you’re entitled to your own view on religion and the bible and when I say that keep in mind that (like you believe soy is ruining the rain forest) there are many people who believe Jesus didn’t meat…by the way you can still serve someone meat and not eat it yourself…
You want to talk about advertising money spent by Peta and how many children could have been fed by that ad?? I’m sure a lot of children could be fed by a lot of stuff that we frivolously spend our money on, you want to go down that road…I’m sure that every time you turn on the TV or look at a paper you say to yourself “Stupid Microsoft! Damn you Dunkin Doughnuts! you could have spent that money on food for kids!” If you have been up on your reading you would have known that many of the organizations that do provide food to the poor especially in Africa have been moving away from doing a hand out and actually going in and getting farm co-ops started and teaching people these skills…article in the NY times science section last Tuesday( you know the whole give a man a fish he eats for a day, teach him how to fish he eats for life?) So why don’t you write a letter to all the advertisers and tell them to stop advertising and instead donate that money to charity….I can’t believe I’m responding to your so called “logic”...As I said…why don’t you try reading next time before shooting your mouth off about how tofu is the bane of the rain forest…And yes I am a certified teacher…but you can say it’s not true and believe what you want in you’re own head, if it makes you feel better about yourself. As with any issue, there are going to be people who agree and people who disagree…so despite the fact that you claim I’m spouting fallacies if you actually read (and understood) what I said and then researched some of it, you will find that there are many who agree including doctors, scientists, nutritionists, including objective data which shows trends on obesity, diet, hormones, and the like. But as long as you disagree with it that means it’s not true right? Well, don’t worry you’re pretty little head about any of it anyway, you don’t need to read or educate yourself, let the vegans who are are polluting our planet and causing death and destruction see the error of their ways, they’ll see the truth when they just realize how tasty cows are and how good and benevolent large corporate owned farms are…“ignorance is bliss” and the sky is yellow. I’m done.

You are all a bunch of self centered cunts….I grew up eating meat ... loved it…especially anything from a pig…and I gave it up 20 years ago…all u a holes are doing is rationalizing killing innocent animals…people for the most part are selfish pieces of shit

wtf

Damn didn’t know this was a meat vs veggie thread. Most people eat meat and some don’t, what’s the problem?

I don’t understand why people have to get mad when vegetarians or vegans speak about not eating meat…it doesn’t create harm to speak out about not eating meat…if anything it’s less harm than speaking about eating meat. In the end I respect everyone’s choice of what they choose to eat. I myself am not a vegetarian I was for a year but I admit it’s not always easy you have to have a lot of will power. I rarely do eat meat anymore and I will continue not to. In the end that’s my decision I just don’t understand why people get so angry about it.

I agree with you Sara, I don’t understand it either. Historically though people are wary of things that are different than they. I don’t eat meat and I choose to do so for health, moral, and environmental reasons, but it’s a personal choice. I don’t think people should just assume that it’s wrong just because they aren’t vegetarian themselves.

Why all the haters? I am not vegetarian but both my children are. People ask me why I “put up” with them being vegetarians. I tell them that I want my kids to be healthy and this IS a healthy lifestyle. With all the childhood obesity, diabetes and other diseases related to lifestyle we should encourage our kids to eat less meat and everything else.

I think it’s just great that Alicia is a vegetarian, but it’s unlikely that any amount of manipulation by PETA will stop people from eating meat. Chickens,cows,pigs,etc. have been raised as livestock as far as recorded history goes back. BTW, these photos must have been “photoshopped” to the extreme. We’ve all seen paparazzi photos of her without makeup or perfect lighting and she has not aged well since her “Crazy” video days. She also showed what a small minded little wench she was by refusing to acknowledge Hasselcrack while appearing on the View.

rag, and ok, good points.
Vegans are much more angry and militant than any average eater(ie: meat,and all)
Alicia does have awful skin as well as it hanging rather loose than being supple or toned. Red meat like many other things in any diet, has benefits as well as drawbacks.
This pic was photoshopped and airbrushed beyond belief.
She hasn’t been attractive since Clueless.

I do not eat meat, just fish at this point in time. 

Why all the outrage over this ad?  Alicia is an attractive celebrity who is speaking for a good cause?  G-d forbid some people think twice before stuffing their faces with chicken, hamburgers or hot dogs?  What’s more important, enjoying a steak or the life of an animal?  G-d did not put animals on earth for humans to massacre.  Sorry.  There’s no need to eat meat.  You can get all the protein required and enjoy tasty food without the slaughter of cows, chickens, pigs, etc.  I’m not an extremist.  Don’t attack me.

Finally, who could be against this ad?  I’d love to go on a date with her, or swimming!

So do you consider people on Atkins, South beach and other diets “militant” contessamemily? Because they do things different than you? Or because you don’t agree with them?...Like Mike said, God forbid someone thinks twice before stuffing their face full of chicken and burgers. Please think before putting a whole group of people in a box, comments like these just come off as ignorant and intolerant - not to mention I find them insulting. And, yeah all ads get “airbrushed”, so what! she still looks good and healthy and I sense that people may be just more jealous than anything (upset because they don’t look like her or their girlfriend doesn’t look like her??) Whatever, I don’t really care why you all are such haters - that’s your prerogative. But, I agree with Mike, I’d go swimming with her any day and I don’t think I know a guy who wouldn’t.

peta is awful. meat is murder. i want to have sex with alicia silverstone.

The reason she has to strip is to counter the image that all vegetarians are wasted concentration camp victims. In fact, more than one in ten aren’t.

I Love Vegans…I won’t eat anything else.

First of all, Atkins did not die of cholesterol or heart attack, he slipped on ice and had a head injury and was in the hospital a while before dying.  (I don’t agree with lo-carb diets though)  Also, eating cholesterol does not cause elevated blood cholesterol levels.  Overweight, inactivity, overeating, and consumption of too much saturated fat does that.  One can eat meat and have very low cholesterol or be a vegan and high cholesterol - it depends on the quality of the diet and exercise.  I respect people’s choice to be vegetarian/vegan, but please son’t be holier than thou.  In terms of cruelty, beef is probably the least cruel choice because it provides the highest number of servings of food per animal - Hundreds of servings of beef from just one cow.  Broiler chickens are much more cruel as they are kept in tiny cages and only a few servings come from each bird.  PS - LEAN beefo or pork in reasonable amounts are no worse than poultry - in fact they are better by far than batter fried chicken for your health…

I’m on my way to stop eating meat, it is not that easy, but it is the right choice for me I love animals, so it is normal for me to give up eating meat. Being vegetarian cannot make you look better, reduce your fat and stuff like this, but it’s a fact that vegetarians have less problems with gastro-intestinal diseases and some kinda cancer.
The fact that God has created the animals to be eaten by us is not that right. Some people have doubts about existing of God, but the science gives us proofs that people are born vegetarians. The human teeths are not that good for eating meat, that’s why we have to cook it. Our intestines are too long, more like the animals eating only vegetables. But enough with this, everybody has the right to make own choices

Some facts:

1. Meat eating is an advertising gimmick that’s about 100 years old. Most cultures don’t eat much meat, because it’s too bloody expensive.
2. Meat eating is not natural, in the sense that our bodies are not equipped to digest meat properly. Dogs have become omnivorous in 10-20K years of evolution; humans have not managed to adapt very well to heavy meat diets because we’ve only had about 200 years to do it in.
3. Hatred of vegetarians is a cultural tradition more than 200 years old. Vegans are attacked by pseudo-science, ridicule, advertising, and even violence. Why? Well nothing gets a mob going faster than being wrong.
4. Factory meat is on the verge of poisonous. Factory animals are fed the remains of the dead, including the brain matter that is the sole cause of mad cow disease. They live in conditions that promote epidemic disease and are treated with antibiotics that build resistant diseases like Bird Flu (a factory farm disease, not a wild virus). The effluent of factory farms is the single largest and most intractable water pollution—huge concentrations of ammonia, just for starters.

After I saw video of pigs eating each other alive in “living conditions” comparable to a crowded subway, I pretty much gave up pork. After I heard the shriek a chicken makes when it is tossed alive into boiling water (a bit sloppy about the killing step, ‘cause the boiling’ll, like, kill ‘em anyway), I cut ‘way back on chicken. A calf with a broken leg left to die. A pig with a broken back trying to escape the baseball bat that broke it. A pig with a rear leg double its size swollen with pus, waiting his day to die and make meat for your mouth.

I didn’t need to be educated about veal or fois gras or live lobster with wasabi or live brain of monkey. Meat eating is a stupid, expensive habit. I eat meat, seldom, but I try not to forget what it really cost.

Meat eaters hide from the cruelty inflicted in their name. That is shameful. The ones who celebrate that cruelty are sad, sick people.

in regard to Mick McA on 09/20 at 08:39 AM

Unfortunately Mick, none of your “facts” are correct…it may make you feel better to sit on your sanctimonious perch and spout off about “meat-eaters”, but man has always been a carnivore and by most accounts is healthier for it….most doctors will tell you that although it’s possible to be healthy as a vegan, that’s it’s a lot more difficult to get all the nutrients that you need (especially the right kinds of protein. There are also many references in the Bible referring to consumption of meat and fish..many of the disciples were fisherman as well..and recently we have heard how PETA is now adding fish under their protective wing…here is actually one undisputable fact…if even 50% of the United States alone were to suddenly become vegans, we would run out of the food supply in less than a week….logistically, it not possible or practical to try and “convert” everyone to become vegans…...btw, nobody hates vegans, they aren’t some persecuted group, just ill advised ....

People, eat meat, but don’t use God for ecxuse. Go study biology and then you’ll learn that meat doesn’t help us so much like some people here want to explain. Actually some people have to stop eating meat just because of healthy reasons. Stop blaming factories who are making faux products, because making products from leather is also a process, which is not friendly for the nature. PETA is giving away money for ads that could feed alot of children ?! Well we see every day ads about clothing, food etc, and those ads are more expensive than those by PETA, because the actors there ask money to act. Does anybody mention how much food do all those animals need until they grow up, ready to die??? And Alicia is maybe not so nice and doesnt have very beautiful skin, but if she feels like this than it is ok !

gringo you are correct - Atkins did die as a result of a fall on an icy sidewalk.

Nick - absolutely. Vegans are stereotyped. I am certainly not a militant, though I was vegan for some time.  I also live in the real world not the forest.

So sad how ignorant people can be.

I’m a vegetarian…but come on!?

I wish PETA chose someone a bit more relevant like Natalie Portman or Anne Hathaway. I’m tired of Alicia Silverstone.

Eat veg
Eat Local

Live long

~Tally~

I have nothing bad to say about Alicia. Atleast she doesn’t live her life like Lohan or Britney. I would say she’s a good role model.

mike. Calm down. This is a rag site. If you offend easily or get injured from written/typed words that easily, maybe you should go to another, more regulated site. I was mainly referring to the vegans and the Peta people when I referred to the fringe percentage of people who seem to get the most worked up about their diet choices and wanting everyone else to agree and convert. Anything like that is a turn off.
I don’t like Bible guys knocking on doors to convert people and I don’t appreciate selling sex or one’s body to try to do the same.
Peta takes many stances that are often brash, unsubstantiated, and insulting. From comparing the human concentration camps to slaughter of animals for human consumption to proclaiming that people have no ‘right’ to say they are pro-life/anti-abortion if they eat meat…..In America, omnivorous humans have the right to stuff their faces with what they choose.
And until I see something with adequate studies and credentialsbacking it,I will do what has proven to work for me and mine.
Alicia looks fine in the pic. But in real life the skin hangs and is crepey. her teeth are bad and she has body odor.
No. not envious of that in the least. Besides, she is predisposed to weight problems. The minute she quits being vegan, she will be dough girl again.

How do you know what she looks in person, you live with her?

I have seen many celebrities in person. So, I can speak to what (the ones I have seen) look like.
And smell like if I had the misfortune of smelling them. When I had seen her,she was still bragging to people that she only showered about every 12 days or so and liked the way it made her hair ‘grungey’...this was a few years ago.

I agree entirely with Nicole.

DaisyFly, that is one of the most ignorant paragraphs I have EVER read.
You’re trying to say that vegans and their tofu comsumption is hurting the planet?
First of all, I RARELY eat tofu. I really do not like soy products, and most soy products do come from the US.
Also, what meat eaters are supporting is 100 times worse than this. This isn’t even something you can complain about because soy is just like any other plant you would grow, so what’s the big deal?

I don’t know what the fuck you’ve been smoking but HAVE YOU SEEN A BEAR’S TEETH? They have SHARP TEETH. You really are an ignorant bitch. I looked into a horse’s mouth just YESTERDAY. Seriously, do not speak about something you have no knowledge of. Our teeth look almost identical to horse teeth and anybody who disagrees is just blind or in denial.
We ARE natural herbivores. I do agree that OVER TIME we have adapted to an omnivorous lifestyle, but we still are NOT omnivores. We are naturally herbivores and our BODIES prove that. This is SCIENCE. We don’t have sharp teeth, we have teeth like horses not wolves. We have LONG and BUMPY intestines for a SLOW digestion. Carnivores, on the other hand, have SHORT and STRAIGHT intestines for a QUICK and EASY digestion because they have ROTTING FLESH in their body which they need to eliminate. We do not have claws. Also, carnivores have alkaline in their saliva, we do not.
Believe whatever you want, but those are SCIENTIFIC FACTS!

If it is so “natural” to eat meat, I’d like to see you KILL A COW WITH YOUR BARE HANDS. Yup, let’s see you kill a cow alone with your bare hands and then tear it’s flesh apart with your fingers and eat it RAW right THEN AND THERE. Nope, you wouldn’t be able to do that. So sorry, it’s not natural.

Eating meat, eggs, and dairy products is just not healthy and not natural. It has been proven that eating heavy protein can cause cancer, MS, and other life threatening illnesses. Don’t believe me? Research it online and you’ll find PLENTY of NON-BIASED websites containing alot of information providing FACTS backed up by SCIENCE.
You know, my mother’s friend has MS and her doctor suggested she should go on a vegan diet. Most doctors will recommend a vegan lifestyle if you are diagnosed with illnesses like that. Why? Because it’s been proven that eating heavy proteins can CAUSE illnesses like this. Still don’t believe me? Ask your own doctor.

You know what? Eat meat, but DO NOT bring up the bullshit saying that eating meat is natural and that you “need” meat to survive. Seriously, DON’T. That’s not a valid reason. Just admit that you’re a WEAK person and can’t go a day without feeding your fat ass a tasty burger. Just admit it.
I’m usually not mean and so judgemental, but I can’t stand fools like you making up reasons to try and justify your reasons for eating meat. Eating meat is not natural, and there is no reason to eat it. Don’t even BRING up the bible or religion. I hate religion and can’t stand religious people so that is not a valid excuse.
Even if we WERE carnivores or omnivores (which science pretty much proves we are not), it still would NOT be necessary to eat meat. We are living in a modern world in year 2007. Eating meat is primitive. It really is. He have so many foods that are very accessible. Go to the grocery store and you’ll find many vegan foods which are actually cheaper than non-vegan foods. Nuts, Beans, Grains, Bread, pasts, Vegetables, fruits, chickpeas and other legumes, etc. Those are all pretty cheap, easy to find, and very healthy. Those are all filled with protein, fiber, and calcium.
So there really is NO reason to eat meat. There is NO reason to make those animals suffer. They can FEEL pain and they did NOT consent to being killed. Those animals are equal to humans. Who said we were more significant? We’re not. Try living in the wild for a few days—you wouldn’t last all. You know why? Because bigger, stronger, and more significant beings would come along and kill you. That’s right, humans aren’t all that great and strong. We are all alive, can SUFFER, and are all worthy of life and equal.
There’s no excuse to eat meat in year 2007. Sorry, there just isn’t. So stop making excuses and just admit that you’re weak and need to stuff yourself with flesh. Yeah, it’s just so kind to have an animal suffer just so you can can satisfy your cravings—NOT.

You people make me sick.

sexcandy, apparently your reading comprehension skills are about as legitimate as your visual skills.

First and foremost, my comment about soy crops was in response to the inane and asinine statement regarding the feeding and raising of cattle for human consumption.  If you failed to see the fact that destroying tens of thousands of acres of endangered rainforests for ANY reason, INCLUDING growing a crop that is used primarily for the vegetarian/vegan/gluten free community, that’s on you, not me.  To claim that raising cows is destroying the environment while completely ignoring your own contributions thanks to your own demands is hypocritical, and thus nullifies any argument, regardless of the differences between the two.

Secondly, a bear’s eye teeth and front teeth may be sharper than a human being’s, however, their molars AND their incisors are comparable to a human beings.  Also take into consideration the fact that bears use their teeth and claws as weapons, which requires them to do something instinctual that humans do not: Sharpen their teeth on a daily basis by chewing on bark and twigs.  Spend some time volunteering for the national forestry service and you’ll pick up a few things that you won’t from “fotosearch.com”.

Thirdly, the human being is NOT a natural herbivore.  If you believe in evolution, that is a fact that cannot be denied simply because you don’t like it.  If you don’t believe in evolution, history itself proves that humans are not natural herbivores.

As for all the “non-biased” studies regarding “heavy” protein consumption, perhaps you failed the part in school where they teach you that moderation in anything is key, but let me inform you that anything, when taken in great quantities, is harmful to you.  Many of these “heavy” proteins that you claim, such as dairy, our bodies make themselves for the sustenance of other humans, i.e. our CHILDREN.  And yes, I have met MANY a vegan who are against breastfeeding children, before you go off on any tangents…not that you probably aren’t going to anyway.

Now we come to the crux of the matter.  NO ONE is forcing you to eat meat.  There are no laws, no legislation, no bills up before the house and senate that are FORCING you to eat ANY animal products.  However, there has been a great push by people whom share the same beliefs as you do to FORCE people to NOT eat any animal products.  So, if you’re going to complain about ANYONE pushing THEIR beliefs onto ANYONE, do start pointing all 10 fingers towards you and your ilk.

You want to talk about what makes people sick?  How about ads that compare chickens to victims of the Nazi holocaust?  How about people who tell you that skinning a dead animal and wearing its fur is cruel, but watching millions of animals die from pollution from petrochemical plants that produce the faux furs that are supposed to be the “humane” alternative is somehow justified?  How about the people who spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns featuring naked women talking about how they don’t eat meat, or wear fur, because it’s the more humane thing to do, all while ignoring the starving children in their own COUNTRY?  How about we talk about the people who say “think about how many people we could feed with the corn and grain we feed to cows” and yet don’t do a damn THING to help feed those very people?

Look, I have no problem with your diet, so and so’s diet, and so on.  That’s YOUR choice, YOUR belief.  You want to live on an animal product free diet, fine.  I’ll support you. 

However, don’t sit there and point your finger at ANYONE and call them ignorant and a bitch when your facts were pulled from the same ass that believes that vegetarians don’t harm the earth and that they’re the ones being attacked.

Any person who consumes ANYTHING on this planet, whether it be something they eat or wear or drive is harming this planet simply by existing.  To deny this is to perpetuate the most blatant lie in the history of the world, and that is irrefutable.

Oh, and regarding the Jesus/Biblical thing, if you (Nicole) are going to claim that Jesus was a vegetarian and was against the consumption of animals, then don’t be surprised when biblical scripture is brought up to refute it.  It has nothing to do with proving he existed, but merely a rebuttal.  Don’t like it?  Perhaps you should have left Jesus out of it, hmmmm?

right on sexcandy, people are such ignorant pricks. DaisyFly and others would do anything to justify their actions (or inaction) because they don’t want to see the REALITY of what they are doing. They refuse to see the harm they are doing and thus justify it…You can tell immediately when they start slinging these ridiculous statements…such as:

“How about people who tell you that skinning a dead animal and wearing its fur is cruel, but watching millions of animals die from pollution from petrochemical plants that produce the faux furs that are supposed to be the “humane” alternative is somehow justified? 

I’ve never had someone tell me this. Again I’m vegetarian and don’t wear fur…As far as I know vegans advocate AGAINST the killing of animals for fashion, I don’t think any vegan would justify the above or say it’s humane. Vegans are generally environmentally conscious folk, we know that those chemicals are horrible and polluting. Again, Daisyfly your not making much sense, what’s your point?

“How about the people who spend millions of dollars on ad campaigns featuring naked women talking about how they don’t eat meat, or wear fur, because it’s the more humane thing to do, all while ignoring the starving children in their own COUNTRY?”

I don’t think PETA paid Alicia for this ad…you want to talk about how Alicia is ignoring children? Well she also is a supporter of “Starlight Starbright Children’s Foundation”, I doubt you give as much money as her to a children’s organization…Or wait a minute are you saying that people are not justified in supporting various organizations because in your mind they would be ignoring hungry children? So unless they give to hungry children they are unjustified in giving to other causes (which apparently in your world is because they are not as worth while as giving to children.) Why don’t you look up some of the reasons for world hunger, especially in this country, and you will see where the real problems lie…and it is not with vegetarians or Alicia. Again, you’re not making much sense.

“How about we talk about the people who say “think about how many people we could feed with the corn and grain we feed to cows and yet don’t do a damn THING to help feed those very people?”

Umm actually when people eat less meat logically it would cut down on the amount of grains that can be used to feed humans instead of being given to cows. Again, I’m not sure what your point is here. Is it that vegans do nothing to help feed hungry people? I don’t think you are justified in saying this - it’s an (incorrect) assumption about a bunch of people you apparently know nothing about.

Again it seems like you and certain others here don’t even want to address the real issues here, which include the cruelty of factory farming, unnecessary killing of animals, the pollution that these activities contribute to our planet, among other issues.

If you are what you, THEN I CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT SHE’S BEEN EATING.

You know what Rag-no-mo, You are better off not saying anything, because it sounds like you are a jealous little bitch..
To say Alicia looks like shit is a joke, weather she eats meat or not,, Alicia is F.I.N.E (fine).

What happened? Did you try to give her your phone # when you saw her in N.Y? hoping she would call you for some PGA, and she told you to screw off?  lol.

Do us all a favor and (SHUT UP)...

I didnt know Alicia (Kazeric) actually reads HR!  Sorry Alicia, I didnt mean to hurt your feelings, but after loving you in clueless, it was a huge disapointment to see you in person looking so haggard!

Well Rag-ho-mo. Since you think Alicia looked so haggard, Why don’t you put a full pic of yourself up here and lets see if you walk the talk.
It really sounds like you had a bad experience with Alicia and you are VERY upset with her, OR your just jealous that She is so HOT and your not.. lol.

Why do you care so much what I think about Alicia?  Fine, if you want me to say she’s beautiful, then she is!

Jeesh, is all an ilusion anyways.  She’s selling a friggin’ lifestyle, therefore she’s made-up to look “flawless and beautiful” when indeed she isnt.  That’s all.

This is the case for say, about 90% of the actresses out there. 

Some have a nice canvas to work on, others… need a lot of tricks to look good for the public, who are hypnotized by the fake beauty.

So, yes.  In this add she looks good, Im just saying that i know what she really looks like and it’s nothing like this.

And no, I did not have a bad experience with her.  Actually when I saw her, she had to be pointed out by my friend, because I could not figure out who people were looking at.  When my friend said: “That’s Alicia Silverstone” I was shocked at how ugly and haggard she looked in person.  Maybe she was having a really, really, really, really, really, really bad day!!!;)

Re: @DaisyFly
“The time will come when men such as I will look upon the murder of animals as they now look on the murder of men.” - DaVinci

Can you help me understand your explanation that DaVinci was not a vegetarian and that this quote originated from a movie? [notice I say originate, as it is perfectly possible that this quote was used in a movie about DaVinci but as a statement that in fact originated from DaVinci himself.] I’ll spell it out for you again, This quote is attributed to DaVinci who is a well known vegetarian, as well as Plutarch, Socrates, and Plato (among many other forward thinking men and women).  Since I know you only believe what you want, you are free to ignore facts. And, DaisyFly, you’re obviously a very angry person, maybe it’s time to consider that you might not be right all of the time and to open your mind to other possibilities and viewpoints.
No way?
Okay, I concede you are right 100% of the time and everyone else is wrong.

I am an animal protector but still I’m not a vegetarian… I need meat for living. I have a job that consumes all my energy and if I don’t eat meat I can’t live.
