Healthy and Humane Dishes Are Great News for Compassionate Celebrities
London – PETA have just learned that the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) are embracing the vegan movement: organisers have created a mouth-watering animal-free menu, which would be sure to delight vegan A-listers such as Joaquin Phoenix, Thandie Newton, Alan Cumming, Woody Harrelson, Natalie Portman and Jessica Chastain.
The plant-based menu will feature a quinoa salad with radishes, broad beans, asparagus, peas and a lemon and olive oil dressing as well as a roasted butternut squash and sun-blushed tomato lasagne with wilted spinach, roasted pepper, sage and a basil dressing.
"Interest in vegan eating is skyrocketing in the UK and beyond", says PETA Director Mimi Bekhechi. "With some of the world's best chefs, including Jamie Oliver and Wolfgang Puck, getting creative with cruelty-free cooking, we're sure that guests attending the BAFTAs are in for a treat."
In addition to sparing animals immense suffering in today's industrialised meat, egg and dairy industries, vegans are less prone to suffering from heart disease, diabetes, strokes, obesity and cancer than meat-eaters are. They also have smaller carbon footprints, as the meat industry is a major producer of the greenhouse-gas emissions that cause climate change.
