- AEG’s Chief Executive Randy Phillips commenting on Michael Jackson’s healthy vegetarian diet. We had no idea!

    Michael Jackson has been a vegetarian for at LEAST a decade now…Same with Prince.

    He has skin problems, and meat is not good for that.

  • Aelys

    Woah that’s news to me!

    Yes, he has been a vegetarian for many years but… has also been known to have a penchant for Kentucky Fried Chicken in the past. I’m sure he will be looking after himself bnow though in preparation for the shows.

    great. i am sure that an “executive producer” makes a great and reliable source in determining if somebody is vegetarian. (not)
    since its not sure, dont lets call M.J. a “hypocrite” when he might be spotted eating a fishburger or something..

  • Whoever…

    So that’s why he’s still alive after all the surgeries he’s had…!

    Better than quoting AIG’s CEO :)

    I guess he wasn’t that healthy after all!

    Bob: He died from a heart attack due to “stress” – i’m sure his veggie diet had nothing to do with it.

    That was a cheap blow. But i forgive you.

    He died because he’s a vegetarian!

  • Georgia

    So sad I didn’t know Michael was veg until now… I was a big fan of his but now I realize I love him even more. I should have known he was veg because he was in great shape. Im very sorry he got hooked on those drugs and it makes me so mad this happened.
    You ROCK Michael!
    In death, I hope you change the world for peace, hunger, and the environment.
    YOU ROCK ! ! RIP

    Israel, there are many people who are vegetarians that live a long and healthy life. In fact, vegetarians tend to be healthier than meat eaters. Did you know that eating processed meat, like hot dogs, can raise you risk of getting cancer. I can go on and on about what processed meat can do to you, but that’ll take a book (and there are tons already made) to describe it all. Anyway, Michael died because of prescription drugs, not because he was a vegetarian. You are so ignorant. RIP MJ. I love you.

    I just read somewhere else, that Michael ate Turkey and Chinese Food and vegetables and brown rice, most oft the time healthy. But he only ate one meal per day, and not enough calories because of medications he took…

    Sad story with his death.

    But vegetarians really do not eat Turkey and Fried Chicken.

    I think he just didn’t eat red meat.
