Glo's (Vegetarian) Girl Crushes of the Week

Alanis Morissette

By Natasha Burton

You oughta know that this singer un-ironically tweeted out a photo of the cookbook 500 Vegan Recipes: An Amazing Variety of Delicious Recipes, from Chilis and Casseroles to Crumbles, Crisps, and Cookies earlier this year, citing it as a life-changing tome.

Rosa Parks

She may be best known for refusing to give up her seat on a bus and inadvertently kicking off a little something called the Civil Rights Movement, but Rosa Parks was also a vegetarian. According to Cincinnati.com, her favorite veggies included broccoli, sweet potatoes and string beans.

Emily Dickinson

In between penning her over 1,800 poems, this famous writer kept the creative juices flowing by following a vegetarian lifestyle. She once wrote that “fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate,” so we hope that her meat-free meals were more satisfying than her notoriety.

Yoko Ono

She may have been blamed for breaking up the Beatles, but last year John Lennon’s love paired up with fellow vegetarian Paul McCartney in an effort to launch “meat-free Mondays” in Great Britain, a campaign that advocated for people to go veggie just one day a week. Imagine all the cows living life in peace ….

Carmen Miranda

This alleged vegetarian loved non-meat foods so much she even wore fruit on her head. We’d like to think that we could shake our hips just like the “Brazilian Bombshell” — as she was known — after chowing down on a banana or two.

10 FOODS THAT MAKE YOU BEAUTIFUL

Amber Valletta

It’s widely believed that fashion models don’t eat, but this one just doesn’t eat meat. She’s also a spokesperson for the Oceana Seafood Contamination Campaign, which aims to raise awareness of the dangers of mercury poisoning in seafood, showing she’s a friend to both animals and humans.

Ellen DeGeneres

This meat-free (and totally vegan) talk show host and comedian recently bestowed a kale bikini upon Lady Gaga after the latter donned quite the beefy dress for the VMAs. Ellen is so committed to animal-free eating that she offers tips on how to live the vegan lifestyle on her website.

OUR FAVORITE UNLIKELY STYLE ICONS

Doris Day

This actress’s vegetarian lifestyle wasn’t just fodder for pillow talk; she was also an avid animal rights activist. Her legacy of keeping our furry friends safe lives on with The Doris Day Animal League, a nonprofit that works to improve the humane treatment of animals.
