you lucky boy...eating with her...
I wasn't vegetarian back in 1999 but I am now, I'm pretty sure that she is a vegetarian, not vegan however. I read one article where she was starting to limit meat in her diet, then started reading articles that mentioned she is now vegetarian, of course, that always can change, look at Alicia Silverstone, we all can have relapses. I advocate limiting animal products, but don't preach it to others, nothing worse then shoving ones choices down anothers throat! hehe

Many present-time artists are also vegetarians. Fiona Apple has been a vegetarian for over a decade, while Christina Applegate and Pamela Anderson became vegetarians after joining forces with the PETA Foundation (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). In fact, many actors and actresses that are vegetarians have been somehow associated with animal protection agencies. Paul McCartney and his late wife Linda were involved in numerous animal charities, while Doris Day runs the Doris Day Animal League. Brigitte Bardot, the French sex symbol, produced a series of documentaries in the 1980s, with one episode completely dedicated to the issue of being a vegetarian.
