I got about halfway into a biography of Benjamin Franklin, but to that point it made no mention of his diet. I wonder if he really was a vegetarian. It's a difficult lifestyle now, but I would imagine in his time he was probably the only one in New England! Thnnks for the interesting link.

Vegetarianism has been around a long, long time. It might actually have been easier to be a vegetarian in the past, when people lived more simply.

It's not on that list, but I heard that Rob Zombie was a veggie...kinda find that hard to believe though.

Has you also seen the list of famous not-veggies? Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry and Frank Sinatra are on it. Some of my idols are veggies, some are not.

" One evening in 1983, Peel remarked on the air that he would "murder someone right now in exchange for a mushroom biryani." Billy Bragg, who had just self-released his first single, bought a biryani, walked to BBC headquarters, told the receptionist he was delivering food to John Peel, and then offered Peelie the vegetarian meal in exchange for a promise to play Bragg's single that night, which Peel did -- at the wrong speed. Promise fulfilled. " Love it

I'm guessing Lady Gaga isn't on this list
