  Alicia Silverstone –  American actress (Clueless):  
      My whole world has changed. And I feel happier and I  feel really grateful and inspired.
  Rory Freedman – New York  Times bestselling author: 
      Because I love them, and I care about them.
  John Salley – 4-time US  National Basketball Association champion: 
      Changed my life; one, I’m healthier. 
  Persia White – American actress (Girlfriends):
      It actually benefits the entire planet. 
  Neal  Barnard – Founder and President, Physicians  Committee for Responsible Medicine:
      And we now know that animal agriculture is the biggest  contributor to climate change.
  Peggy McCay –Emmy  Award-winning US  actress (Days of Our Lives): 
      They feel as we feel. And it’s not good for the human  soul and for the world, for us to mistreat them. 
 
  Jane Velez-Mitchell – Emmy  Award-winning television journalist (CNN): 
      It's up to all of us to speak up for the animals. They  have no voice and there are terribly, horrifically cruel things being done to  them on a daily basis that are absolutely unnecessary. And they are also very  bad for human health. I think we are on  the cusp of a huge revolution in eating, and people are really starting to wake  up to the cruelty in factory farming. 
  Eliza Roberts – Actress,  casting director & author: 
      We are vegan, as you would be if you went and saw what  happens to animals when they are prepared for food. It is absolutely, should be  against the law. It's just the most heartbreaking thing in the world. So no one  should be eating animals. Everyone should be saving and rescuing animals  instead. And vegan food is delicious on top of that. 
  Eric Roberts – Oscar  nominated actor: 
      I am vegan because it's the healthiest way to eat. So  I’m vegan, and you should be too. 
 
  Pamela Anderson: 
      I just think it's really important to eat the  healthiest you can, if you know what's healthiest for you. It's obviously a  non-animal diet. 
  Dan Piraro: 
      If you love animals, the first thing you should do is  to stop eating them, not the last thing. 
  Frances Fisher
      You know the old paradigm “we are what we eat”
  Douglas Smith: 
      I stopped eating meat seven years ago, felt really  good and you should try exploring more vegetarian options too.
  Any Phyo:
      The biggest impact that we can have on our planet is  through our food choices and what we haveon our plate.
  Lisa Bloom
      There’s no question that the number one contributor to  climate change is livestock production. The quickest way to make an effect is  to immediately start on a vegan diet. It also happens to be delicious and good  for your health so it’s a win-win. 
  Moby 
      One of the reasons I became vegan is the golden rule,  the idea of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you. The best way  to increase my happiness and also hopefully increase the happiness of others is  actually be concerned for the wellbeing of other people and other animals, so  that’s a big part of my veganism as well. 
 
  Kenneth G. Willams 
      My name is Kenneth G. Williams. I’m the world’s first  vegan body builder champion and national spokesperson. 
      The 21  century athlete... if he wants to move further in his and her development,  they're going to have to come to grips with eating properly.
  Darryl Hanna 
      We have the power to really imagine the future and to  affect it, if we want to.
  Billy McNamara
      I believe we need to treat all life with incredible  respect. 
  Maggie Q 
      Every decision that we can make every day, it’s going  to make a difference to the planet.
  Shaun Monson 
      A vegan diet, everybody wins, really. All the  Earthlings win on that one. 
  Rajendra  K. Pachauri
      If we have to follow what Mahatma Gandhi said, “Be the  change you want to see in the world,” then we have to start with ourselves. And  one way that we can make a major difference is to reduce our meat consumption. 
  Elizabeth Kucinich  
      It’s a win, win, win situation. It’s good for the  environment, it’s good for people, it’s good for animals. 
  Alicia Silverstone
      Ten billion farm animals are killed every single year  in America  and that's one million animals per hour. That's astounding. One million animals  per hour are slaughtered for food and that really disturbs me. 
  Amma
      So considering all these aspects, it’s better to  switch to vegetarianism; it will bring back nature’s harmony and has purifying  effects.
 
  Lindsay  Wagner
      To  me, we don't have a right to be cruel to anything or anyone; the environment, 
      the  animals, each other, our families. 
  Debra  Wilson Skelton
      Animals  give nothing but pure love, pure joy.
  Dennis  Kucinich 
      We're  both vegan. We practice compassion in ways that inform who we are, in our  lives. 
  Dan  Piraro
      Wait  a minute! I’m getting mild momentary amusement out of the flavors and feels of  these products, and other animals are being tortured and losing their lives  over it. 
      Does  that weigh out? - torture and loss of life over a few seconds of amusement.
      I  mean it just doesn’t weigh. And I just thought “You know, I’m not gonna do it.”
      I  stopped; I just stopped. 
  Neal  D. Barnard
      Plant-based  diets used to be thought of, as something that only philosophers would have. 
      Well,  now we know that they're good for everybody and especially good for kids  because
      it  keeps them slim and healthy. 
  Emily  Deschanel 
      There  are so many different reasons to go vegetarian. There’s the health angle, 
      the  nutrition angle, the cruelty that the animal faces. We have the environmental  issue where it’s a huge impact on the environment. and the number one way 
      you  can go green is become a vegan. 
  James  Cromwell
      The  process opens your mind; it opens your heart. It connects you to the planet  through these animals, through what you eat. The vegetarian consciousness is a  higher consciousness.
