Fabulously Famous Vegans

Do you know how many famous vegans there are walking around on our planet today? How about the ones who have since passed, but during their lives were vegans?

Do you know who Pamela Anderson is? I would imagine so.

Well, she doesn't eat meat, dairy, or meat by-products.

How about Tony Gonzalez, tight-end of the Kansas City Chiefs?

Yeah, he doesn't eat meat or dairy either.

Have you heard of the comic and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres? She's a vegan too!

Here is a list of many other vegan celebrities.

There's an even more abundant supply of vegetarians from the past. My guess is that the term "vegan" just wasn't as popular or as well defined back then. We do know that these famous people avoided meat. Maybe they also avoided dairy and animal by-products as well.

Are you familiar with the name Abraham Lincoln? How about Sir Isaac Newton? Thomas Edison? Socrates? Voltaire? Leonardo Da Vinci? Buddha? Jesus Christ? The list goes on and on.

All of those important men were vegetarians and advocated vegetarian ideals.

Many of you have probably used a vegan cookbook or two. Have you heard of Dreena Burton? She's the bestselling author of three vegan cookbooks; The Everyday Vegan, Vive le Vegan, and Eat, Drink & Be Vegan. She agreed to an interview with us to discuss her cooking inspirations, the way she raises her children, and much more!

I've also gotten to know many vegan bloggers and webhosts over the course of my own work. Have you heard of The Fat Free Vegan, Susan V? Susan writes a beautiful blog about fat free vegan food, and also has a website with tons of recipes.

Another famous vegan in the blogger world is Diann Mayer, from Eat'n Veg'n. She writes a popular blog about being vegan and dealing with gluten intolerance.

Emilie Hardman writes for The Conscious Kitchen, and describes her ethical reasons for being a vegan. She posts some of the most intricate (yet simple) and beautiful pictures of vegan food on the internet.
