So I just finished reading an article from The Times Of India where they interviewed Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor  who was recently voted PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian. In the interview, Kapoor says:

“I love cheese and I feel it is a good source of energy especially when I’m burning fat with exercise. You don’t need meat to build muscle. Vegetables have a lot of variety for building muscle. It’s cool to be a vegan.”

She then goes on to say that most of the Hollywood actresses like Madonna and Jennifer Aniston are also vegans. Whoa! 

Firstly, I have my PhD in Celebrity Vegetarians and Madonna and Aniston are DEFINITELY not meat-free…let alone vegan. Secondly, also? Also implies that Kareena herself is vegan. WTF?

While we totally support our vegetarian friends, it’s important that people in the public spotlight understand the difference between vegan and vegetarian. Vegan = meat/dairy/egg/animal-product free! What do you think about Kareena’s blunder? Chime in and share your thoughts!

Bollywood star Kareena Kapoor was recently spotted showing off her new eco-friendly “Ban Plastic, especially smiles.” tote. The bag is part of a campaign the 28-year-old actress is involved in with retail chain Globus.

“Kareena has a huge fan following and wants her fans to do their bit to save the environment. The eco-friendly bags are made out of synthetic fabric,” said a source. Kareena adds, “Though I use them a lot, my mom (Babita), specially, is quite into eco-friendly stuff and has been giving the bags to all our friends.”
