Top 10 Famous Vegans

• Actually, I do take offense to that. I am a meat eater but respect the different life styles of people. I do not force my "Omnivorism" on anybody. I prefer non processed, natural meat. Fresh fish and deer meat are a staple in my diet. I am a compassionate human being and an animal lover, but being a Vegan is something I can't do.

• Really interesting list... Funny how all the derogatory, sarcastic and negative comments are from meat eaters? Obviously meat eaters are not compassionate at all and have low intelligence levels... must be the meat!

• I think referring to it as the vegan "diet" is clarifying in this regard, in contrast to calling it a vegan "lifestyle" which would entail all aspects of LIVING cruelty-free rather than simply EATING that way.

• nah, just makes you a strict vegan..

• It's not about rights, it's about welfare. Animals shouldn't have rights---but they should have the chance to live a natural life in the wild--instead of a factory, chained to the ground. I can't think of anything more natural than to go into a McDonalds and order a cow that was raised, tortured, and murdered by someone else -- all for under $2. Hunting for your own food is 10 times more respectable than buying factory farmed animals, but how many people actually hunt for their meat----and only eat the meat that they hunt? I can name one- Mark Zuckerberg, but that's about it. You don't have to go to the grocery store to buy vegetables you can go to farmers markets, and grow your own vegetables. The color here is grey---not black and white.

• Wow, hypocrite!  I bet you think animals have the right to vote too, stop giving animals man made rights and start living by natures; Go feed yourself to a hungry ENDANGERED tiger.

• Not good for the environment, considering that some places will need to have all those veggies, fruits, and legume imported.  Also, resulting in erosion.  People complain about the chemicals in meat, but forget the chemicals on produce, the runoff into water, and any genetic modifications.  If you really want to save the planet eat humans, there's an abundance of them.

• I am an environmental studies major and I think people should eat locally.  I live in agricultural state so I can be a vegetarian, but some people don't live where plants thrive, so they should eat meat.  I'd also use animal products to keep warm then things made of plastic, you know because oil and the environment don't mix.  To each his own, some people care about the animals and some people care about the places that keep everything alive.   

• I mentioned this too, vegan is not a diet it's a lifestyle.  No animal products what-so-ever!

• Did anyone notice that they have said the vegan diet or vegan eating choices?  Vegan means using no animal product, which means no leather, fur, or anything that can be linked to animals, a strict vegetarian eats like a vegan, but is still not called one.  I hate when I hear people say "I'm vegan" but they are wearing leather shoes.

• Especially since she has a glass of milk next her, a true vegan no no!

• Which is why Steve left us so soon

• eh-hem...cough cough Paul McCartney cough cough

• You can be vegan for many different reasons. Animal rights and religious reasons, I assume, would be yours. Other people do it to benefit themselves. Regardless, there is a similar impact on the world. Eating vegan for your own health is no less valid than eating vegan for the sake of animals. 

• Mike Tyson is 46, not 35.

• Paul McCartney and Pam Anderson are both vegetarian, not vegan.

• Whether they care about animals or not, they are still eating a vegan diet.  Animal lovers may not like it, but there are many facets to why people turn to a vegan diet.

• This is all well and good, but half of these people aren't vegan - they just eat a plant-based diet.  Veganism is a lifestyle that includes not using animal products as much as possible; we're talking about clothing, make-up, cleaning supplies, etc.  Just not eating animal products does not make you vegan.  It makes you a strict vegetarian.

• @ Captain Way Mike Tyson is a truly fascinating man. Take some time and get to know him now. He's evolved from a mega-wealthy brute who beat people up for a living and a sexual predator to a vegan philosopher of peace and  anti-materialism. He's my guru.

• Mike Tyson is 42. Russell Simmons is a hypocrite. He takes a month off each year and eats filet mignon, drinks tequila and smokes cigars. It's true.

• Your 'span' list is bougus. Try actually THINKING instead if just listing things that pop into your head

• Nice article, but the Korean BBQ ad at the top is disgusting. Can't you guys prevent that? Also, why the need to dis Alanis? That was petty and irrelevant in an otherwise interesting article

• It is so much more sensible and ecological  to hunt and gather your food, than buy vegetables that have been grown maybe thousands of kilometres away, and using fertilizers. Pick up berries, vegetables and mushrooms in the forest, fish on the nearby lake, and hunt animals in the near forest. That's the best way.

• This list, although just a start is a good representation of the variety of people that are vegan. It spans all social, cultural, racial, political, socio-economic and geographic sectors - an indicator that Veganism is HERE TO STAY and rapidly growing.   Take a stand for your health, the environment and the animals - Try Vegan : )

• Yes, when it comes to celebrities, who are a frivolous and narcissistic bunch, it does seem to be a fad. Also, some of these people shouldn't be on the list because they couldn't care less about animals, such as Clinton. 

• Geezer Butler from Black Sabbath has been veg since he was 8 yrs old. 

• Um, not to diminish the potential health benefits of a vegan lifestyle, but I simply can't stand to see all of those defenseless plants hurt just to put food on famous people's plates. I wish they made a movie about the floral industry ... Butchers, all of them stem-cutters!

• I know that she's not on the list, but why would you use a header pic of Lisa? I thought that she was just a vegetarian. Did I miss something?

• wanker

• Calm down, I was referring  to it being a fad of Ozzie's and not anybody else !

• Deanna I applaud you on this comment, I read a lot of comments about vegans and yours so far is the one I've read that pretty much sums up how I feel about the whole subject. Bravo to you!

• VEGANS RULE.. you may say "tasty murder" but our colons are CLEAN and we have less rates of cancer.. not to mention we look amazing and feel great too.  Karma is a bitch, compassionate living is where it's AT!

• It's not all about animal crultey either, it's simply about human health!  Heart disease, diabetes just to name two, not to forget obesity.  Lost 39lbs in six months by just eating a whole food vegan diet.

• There are so many more. This is so not representative . It's so much larger and broader .

•  Veganism is no fad. It's a stance against animal cruetly and all the antibiotics and hormones the animals are shot up with to kill the bacteria and disease in these hell holes. This will not go out of style,the number of people caring about compassion and their own health is actually growing quickly. I don't argue too much about it because the die hard meat eaters don't care about animals and even seem to enjoy knowing they are tortured. Sickos !! And frankly I won't fight for the health of such jerk offs.

• Sorry for the spelling error... Vegans.

• This is NOT a good list of vegans! A meat eater wrote this to make vagans look bad.

• Where is Steve Jobs on the list?

• Great list, with a few surprises. However, Thom Young in at #1, and four high profile vegans didn't even make the list? Pam Anderson, Natalie Portman, Robin Gibb, and certainly Sir Paul McCartney should have made the list.

• Great list, a few surprises. However Thom Young is #1 when you've got four high profile vegans you didn't mention? Pam Anderson, Natalie Portman, Robin Gibb, and certainly Sir Paul McCartney should have made the list.

• Ozzie a vegan ?? ROFL at this fad of the moment 1

• Is this one of those end-of-the-year lists?  Among vegans, are these really the "Top 10"? In what way are they at the head of the list? Let's have the Top 10 Omnivores list next!

• Wow thats pretty amazing stuff when you think about it. Wow. online-anon.tk

• Well that's your opinion. I 'm willing to bet there are more Radiohead fans, more Black sabbath fans, hell even more Joaquin Phoenix fans than there are Mike Tyson fans. As great a boxer he was back in the day, I couldn't care if he starred in the hangover part 10 or sesame street, he's not a very interesting person in comparison.

• "Meat is Murder"? Yeah, as the T-shirt says, "Tasty, Tasty Murder." Ten vegans, but you found only one (Mike Tyson) with real talent. When that guy is focused, I'd put him up against anyone from Einstein to Nureyev to Richard Burton -- in their own fields. I had a terrible long weekend, eating too much of everything from turkey to cornbread-sausage stuffing to heavily sugared lingonberries and have spent the last couple of days trembling with everything but desire, unable to sleep or think. Starting early this morning I've gone totally vegan and feel a little better, so now you have eleven, but, despite my achievement, I still yield to Tyson.
