Celebrities who went the vegan way

Stars like Alicia Silverstone and Brad Pitt have not only given up eating meat, but have also abstained themselves from animal and dairy products like milk and curd.
Here’s a list of some celebrities who have inculcated a healthy way of living and shown concern for environment by turning vegan, reports a website:
– Beyonce and Jay Z: The couple recently announced they are going vegan for 22 days ahead of Christmas.
– Brad Pitt: Although the actor’s better half Angelina Jolie was vegan for a long time, she had to give up the lifestyle because she wasn’t getting the nutrients she required. Pitt, on the other hand, seems to be doing just fine.

– Alicia Silverstone: The “Clueless” actress even started her own website dedicated to the cause.
– Mike Tyson: On why he went vegan, the former boxer said: “I just threw up the white flag. Too many prison cells, jail, too many lawsuits, too many bankruptcies, too many women, too many venereal diseases, too many everything. I got tired.” (IANS)
