MEATEATERS, DESPITE RUMORS

Benjamin Franklin: Vegetarian early in life. Later thought 'better' of it.

Buddha: Many sources say Buddha died from eating bad mushrooms, not pork. It is understood that the Buddha taught his monks against killing animals, but, since they were to live on alms, to accept meat given to them so long as the animal had not been killed specifically for their benefit. However, people who offered food to Buddha would have certainly known his preference for vegetarian meals, so may have prepared fitting food.

Bill Gates Claimed to be a vegetarian, later discovered false.

Adolf Hitler Hitler was not a vegetarian. His doctor sometimes prescribed that Hitler follow a vegetarian diet to improve his health. Goebbels, the Propaganda Minister, took this and twisted it to get people to think of the Fuerer as another saintly man like vegetarian contemporary Mohandas K. Gandhi (Mahatmah Gandhi). Gandhi, however, was the complete opposite in that even when his doctor insisted on him drinking beef tea for his health, Gandhi refused, while Hitler cheated on his doctors orders and only pretended to be a vegetarian, eating pasta stuffed with spicy beef covered up with tomato sauce (ravioli).

Whitney Houston: video shows her ordering chilli from Wendy's

Carl Lewis (sprinter) Vegan only when training.

Madonna Her baby's father, Carlos, makes the "best turkey burgers" (Oprah special, TV show)

Steve Martin His publicist refutes the vicious rumours. :-)

Demi Moore Ate chicken during Vogue interview, Summer 1996.A Demi-vegetarian? ;-)

Dennis Rodman

Claudia Schiffer Another found with a fowl mouth. :)



These are just a few of the most famous (famous to me, that is!) vegetarians. This makes me feel better when I feel like everyone in the world eats meat but me.
