Oscar-winner Gwyneth has long been famous for her love of healthy, vegetarian and macrobiotic nutrition. She even published two recipe books, where she told how to eat right to maintain youth and beauty. But it turned out that Paltrow did not come to vegetarianism on her own, but with the help of Leonardo DiCaprio: “ Leo constantly talked about how bad it was to eat meat, and how terrible cattle farming was. I haven't eaten red meat for 20 years. I can’t say that this is entirely the merit of DiCaprio, but he was definitely the first to come up with this idea and nurture it in me. I became interested in macrobiotics when my father was diagnosed with cancer. Then it seemed to me that a special connection had been established between us and that I could help him by eating right.”. The actress also admitted that her gastronomic habits interfere with her acting work: “The bad thing about filming dinner and lunch scenes is that you are forced to eat the same thing for many takes, sometimes all day. Many actors don’t like this and therefore specifically don’t eat on camera; this approach seems unnatural to me. Is it true, most From what I put in my mouth, after the command “stop” I spit it out. Otherwise, I risk getting an upset stomach.".

Olga Shelest
The famous TV and radio presenter, in her words, “is not a meat eater by nature.” As a child, she had to see an unpleasant picture of how a sheep was killed for food. Since then, meat has been removed from Shelest’s diet: “I’m not a meat eater by nature. Even as a child I didn’t eat that much meat. Sweets are a different matter. When I was nine or ten years old, we visited my grandmother in the village. I remember the neighbors were planning a wedding. Numerous relatives arrived. And it was decided to slaughter the ram. The following pictures come to mind: they bring a ram and tie it in the yard. And the next episode - he is already hanging dead upside down in a barn, and they are skinning him. Catastrophe! This event made a tremendous impression on me. And I refused to eat the pilaf that was prepared from the meat of this sheep. Moreover, she persuaded all her brothers and sisters to do the same. We then boycotted the grand dinner. And my grandmother later complained to my mother when she came to pick us up: they say, Olenka made such a fuss - she refused to eat. And it was her fault that the children became completely thin. Since then I have been very biased towards meat. And by the age of twenty, she gave up on it altogether.” Olga's parents never took their daughter's refusal to eat meat seriously, considering it only fleeting entertainment.
Valeria Gai Germanika
One of the most scandalous and shocking directors of Russian television has been a vegetarian for six years now. She decided on such a gastronomic experiment after the birth of her daughter Octavia: “When it comes to food, I prefer something Ayurvedic. The basic principle of nutrition according to Ayurveda is that you should eat little, but very good, wholesome foods. I don't eat meat, fish or eggs. My diet is dominated by healthy foods: brown rice, lentils. I gave up meat after the birth of my daughter: I realized how living things are born. And we then kill this living thing and push it into ourselves. It’s hard for me to accept the karma of an animal that died a violent death. So I’ve been a vegetarian for two years now.”
Tom Cruise
The heartthrob, open follower of Scientology and one of the highest paid actors of our time adheres to an exclusively vegetarian menu. During his marriage to Katie Holmes, Tom made sure that she and little Suri ate only natural foods.

Perhaps the actor wanted the best, but Katie did not appreciate her husband’s impulse and filed for divorce.
Tobey Maguire
Interestingly, vegetarianism created a lot of problems during the filming of one of the episodes from Spider-Man.
Known throughout the world for his role as Spider-Man, Toby became a vegetarian back in 1992, but only in 2009 he completely abandoned all animal products. In an interview, the actor admitted that even as a child he had no desire to eat meat: “Even when I was a child, it was hard for me. It had to be a perfect piece, without fat, cartilage, bones or anything like that. I don't judge people who eat meat - it's none of my business, but this problem really upsets me.". Although Toby does not condemn meat eaters, he is categorically against the use of animal fur and skin in his home. Interestingly, vegetarianism caused a lot of problems during the filming of one of the episodes from Spider-Man, where he had to eat a hot dog. The film crew had to put a special cheese for vegetarians there - tofu.

He also demonstrates his love for animals through his public condemnation of the extermination of animals for natural fur. If he himself appears in public with accessories made of fur, it is only artificial ones. The actor and musician takes his choices very seriously and strictly monitors his diet, but he also likes to joke about this topic: “There was a time when we would sacrifice goats before shows, but since everyone in 30 Seconds to Mars became vegan, we replaced them with tofu.”. Despite his ardent love for animals and the vegan lifestyle, Jared deviated from his habits on two occasions. For example, during the filming of “Alexandra,” Leto ate tuna. During the filming of the A Beautiful Lie video, he had to participate in one of the rituals of the Maasai tribe and drink a drink made from cactus roots mixed with the blood of a sacrificial goat.
Mikhail Zadornov
The famous satirist who dislikes America so much does not eat meat. Zadornov considers vegetarianism the beginning of the path to self-improvement. He explains his position this way: “Meat in English means meat, me means “me,” eat means “to eat.” It turns out that eating meat is the same as eating yourself. In addition, it’s no secret that the structure of pig DNA is similar to the structure of human DNA, and therefore barbecue is clearly not good for our body.”.
Nikolay Drozdov
In addition to meat, Drozdov tries not to eat eggs, but sometimes allows himself kefir, yogurt and cottage cheese.
The Russian zoologist and host of the program “In the Animal World” has not eaten meat since 1970. One of his acquaintances, with whom Nikolai worked in India, inspired him to do this. Nikolai considers vegetarianism not just a diet, but a way of life: “...vegetarianism is truly a life position based on the philosophy of yoga. I believe that this path is very correct for a person. Our stomach is well adapted to plant foods, but digesting animal foods requires a lot of energy. Besides, I am calm - no animals are killed for my sake. You've probably seen more than once how housewives at markets choose meat: this for soup, this for roast. And if you think about it, they turn over pieces of a dismembered corpse.” In addition to meat, Drozdov tries not to eat eggs, but sometimes allows himself kefir, yogurt and cottage cheese. True, the TV presenter treats himself to these products only on holidays.
Could you give up meat in favor of plant foods?
Leonardo DiCaprio began actively auditioning at the age of 15. Over the course of a year, he went through more than 100 auditions, but never got the role. Through persistence, he achieved what he wanted - to become an actor. He was a vegetarian, after which he ate Bavarian sausages. He smoked and drank alcohol, while simultaneously organizing a fund to protect the environment. Now, at 40, he is happy, calm and confident. “The best” – as he himself claims. We have selected the best things the actor said about nutrition, life, caring for environment and self-awareness.
The last thing I want- is to turn into a typical fat Hollywood bastard with money. I grew up poor, and it was then that I was truly happy.
It's hard to surprise me. The most amazing thing I saw happened in Africa. Two young lions were choking on a dead wildebeest. And then small lion cubs appeared from the bush. And then the older lions parted, allowing the little things to get to the best pieces. And all together they clung to the carcass, like ants who found caramel spat out by someone.
In Rome, I think I was the fattest I’ve ever been in my entire life – 95 kg! It's all because of Italian cuisine...
Overall, I like the way the world works
I try to be careful about the environment. I have solar panels on the roof. I have a hybrid car, a Toyota Prius, which emits 75 percent less carbon dioxide than a conventional car. I bought the same cars for my mother, father and his new wife. But I know it's not enough. For example, I don't have a compost bin.
I believe, what else can be done to save our planet and all its inhabitants.
I still love you very much Italian cuisine . Although eating carbohydrates today is not fashionable. Pasta and then probably Bavarian sausages with sauerkraut- favorite food.
Caring for the environment It doesn’t always come down to the fact that when you come to visit someone, you start wandering through rooms where there is no one and turning off the lights that are on there. But you can start with this.
I think, the most big problem Today the problem is how to get people to consume less.
In my, as a child I dreamed of becoming a biologist, although this will not be written in the newspapers.
I think the biggest problem today is how to get people to consume less
I sometimes smoke cigars, but there's nothing wrong with that. On occasion, I might drink a glass of alcohol... In general, when I have a headache, I console myself with the fact that it’s probably the halo that’s pressing on me.
I have a vegetable garden. True, due to the amount of work I do, I don’t go there often.
I know that if in Russia you are considered a “real man”, this is a serious compliment. My grandmother was Russian – Smirnova – and for me she is the embodiment of inner strength and integrity. She went through poverty, war and emigration. Grandmother, grandfather and other relatives on their side are real strong Russians with a difficult fate that did not break them. I can’t comment on how much of a “real man” I am, but if there is something like that in me, it’s from them. And the more people I meet in my life, the more I understand that my Russian grandparents were the most “real”. Even in periods of deep lack of money and despair, they had a core and a sense of self-worth that I see in few people now.
Adore lemonade.
The last thing I want is to turn into a typical fat Hollywood bastard with money
Are you aware that there are only 3,200 Amur tigers left in the world?? They are still hunted, and not only for their skins - they are eaten! Imagine there is such a Chinese delicacy - tiger in wine. In a word, protecting nature for me is exactly the kind of thing that I don’t mind devoting all my energy and free time to. This activity also took me to amazing places: I was in Nepal and Bhutan. From there things are seen in a completely different light.
I was once a vegetarian. Quite convincing. For example, Gwyneth Paltrow told about how modern meat is produced - since then she has been a vegetarian for 20 years.
Yes, imagine, I can cook. Just to cook for real tasty dish, it takes a lot of time.
Generally, I like the way the world works.

It was he who wrote the following words: “As long as people slaughter animals, they will kill each other.” Having loved life and all living things around him, da Vinci bought animals at local markets, because killing them for food was savagery for him.
The next amazing representative of the vegetarian movement was Thiruvalluvar, who was worshiped in South India. He, like the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci, also owns the following famous phrase, showing his attitude towards killing animals for food: “How can a person who eats the meat and flesh of living beings show compassion?”
Famous vegetarians were also found among philosophers. So, to this list you can add the famous thinker, ancient Greek mathematician, mystic and philosopher - Pythagoras of Samos. Throughout his life, Pythagoras' diet was exclusively vegetarian. But occasionally the philosopher allowed himself to eat fish.

Sports celebrities in the fight for the lives of animals
Among athletes there are a lot of people who try to adhere not only to a healthy lifestyle, but also to vegetarianism. They also fight for the rights of our little brothers, donate part of their income to various rescue organizations around the world and ask everyone to share their opinion on this matter.
Famous vegetarian athletes

The striking difference between the vegan movement and the vegetarian movement
Unlike vegetarianism, the vegan branch has a stricter diet. Veganism excludes the consumption of animal products altogether. They also do not eat honey, which, it would seem, is not such a critical product. However, this menu has a lot of restrictions that even vegetarians sometimes do not understand. The attitude towards vegans is less loyal than towards vegetarians, but becoming a vegan or vegetarian is the choice of every person.
Strict diet of representatives of botanophages: what is strictly forbidden to eat, except animal products
A sudden transition to such a diet is not recommended if there were no preparatory steps before. smooth transition from a complete diet to a plant-based one. The body simply cannot withstand all the dietary restrictions. Moreover, without careful preparation, without familiarizing yourself with all the available information about the vegan movement, a person who has practiced meat-eating and received the necessary list of minerals and vitamins from these products will quickly wither away without them. And it is in our time that more and more often becoming a vegan without preparation has become some kind of misfortune. They can rather be classified as ideological, who just watched a few lectures by vegan professors and were inspired by this.
Of course, the cult of animal protection cannot but rejoice, but a sharp change in diet leads to side effects. In addition, such people will not be able to last long on a strict diet. As practice shows, ideological vegans are able to adhere to the regime for several months, after which they return to the standard human diet with an abundance of animal products. And it is precisely because of such “former vegans” that the reputation of botanophages is noticeably tarnished.
Celebrities whose desire to preserve life and significantly limit themselves in their diet outweighed their primal urge
Patrick Baboumian, Adam Russell, Sky Valencia, Jennie Garth, and many others are famous personalities who have dedicated their entire lives to veganism. The pediatrician, whose medical articles and books have proven valuable and useful contributions to the development of medicine, is an ardent supporter of the vegan movement.

In almost any society, vegetarians are a minority, but at the same time they are more active than any majority! And it is worth recognizing that often people who do not eat animal proteins have a noticeably more attractive appearance than meat-eaters.
