Vegetarian diet

How do you manage your career while battling hepatitis?
I feel great – thanks to my healthy lifestyle and iipmvegetarian diet. But animal rights is my passion, so I’d like to keep the focus on animals and what people can do to help them. I do hope that your readers will learn more about these issues and how small changes, like buying non-leather shoes or eating more vegetarian meals, can make a world of difference to animals. I think we all have the responsibility to choose on the side of compassion whenever possible, because the animals don’t have a choice.

How long have you been a vegetarian? How has it benefited you? People find it tough to reconcile that a sexy actor like you sports a vegetarian lifestyle! Comment.
I’ve been a vegetarian since I was a teenager. Being a vegetarian is what keeps me feeling sexy! A meat-based diet is loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol, which packs on pounds and makes you feel sluggish, but a vegetarian diet is healthy and slimming, and of course humane.

No Ark this time!

After the five mammoth extinctions in the earth’s history, the Ordovician Extinction (440 million years ago), the Devonian Extinction (about 375 million years ago), the Permian-Triassic Extinction or the Great Dying (250 million years ago), the fourth mass extinction (205 million years ago) and the fifth mass extinction (65 million years ago) we perhaps are now parking ourselves at the edge of another mass extinction… all thanks to global warming! Almost 30% of all species of plants and animals would be extinct by 2050 as the repercussions are being estimated! A living breathing example of climate change related extinctions is taking place in the Costa Rican jungles where as many as seventeen species of amphibians have disappeared, even as the numbers of monkeys and certain reptile species is on a downward slide. Climate change, it is being believed has led these creatures to fall prey to a kind of fungus of the skin that has wiped out the exquisite Golden Toad and at least two varieties of Harlequin Frog, amongst others only found in Costa Rica, almost confirming their extinction. This phenomenon of mass extinctions also threatens species in West Asia and other vulnerable corners of the globe.
