Top 10 Famous Vegans

To the person who questioned how many people actually hunt for their own meat and named Mark Zuckerberg.  Well up here in Alaska, lots of people hunt for their own meat, in fact it is almost moose hunting season and I have friends who are out caribou hunting right now. We catch a lot of our own fish too.  I don't know when the last time I actually bought fish at the store but instead I use the supply I have from fishing. Hunting is a way of life for Alaska Natives in villages where good produce is expensive and hard to find. So I find it hypocritical for some vegans to be so highly critical and negative on those who eat meat.  Some people depend on meat for survival. Try living in an Alaskan village on just berries and their limited supply of produce. It'll certainly be harder to keep warm without the benefit of muktuk and fish oil! ;o) Ah and don't forget the barbecued seal meat, yum! Now Im not really against the vegan diet, Im actually looking into the raw food diet for myself but still would like to eat chicken, fish and beef on occasion. I just find it a shame that some vegans act like elitists and try to force their "karmic" beliefs on us as if all meat eaters are evil. Countries of the world, rich and poor, urban and village (especially) depend on products from animals for food resources. Your not going to change the whole world to vegan and in extremely colder climates like up north, its pretty much impossible. So let it go and truly live "The Kind Life". ;o)

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!

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.

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

Mike Tyson is 46, not 35.

Check it out.....

Wikipedia says Tyson is 45

Ozzie, a vegan?  Tell that poor bat who's head he bit off on stage he's doing it for animal welfare.  

What happened to Moby!!?!Morrissey is vegan, not vegetarian.Alanis Morrisette is no longer vegan.  She ditched it when she became pregnant.

How could you forget Woody Harrelson?

MOBY!!!!!!!

Where is Chloe Coscarelli on this list?

Also Bambi

My favorite cartoon Vegetarian is Bubbles from the Power Puff Girls

www.speaksedition.com    Say something controversial!  It's an online democracy.

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. 

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 : )

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?

I'm pretty sure Mike Tyson is older than 35

Biff Naked!!!!  And Brendan Brazier.  :)  And Erykah Baduh!  :)

morrissey is vegetarian and not vegan?? 

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!

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

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.
