Natalie Portman: Though the actress paused her diet in 2011 while pregnant, she’s outspoken about her veganism. “Only after I became active in women’s issues did I realise that my veganism was related to those very issues. Dairy and eggs don’t just come from cows and chickens, they come from female cows and female chickens. We’re exploiting female bodies and abusing the magic of female animals to create eggs and milk,” said the actress. Portman also shot back at those who mock the diet. “So now lots of people make fun of vegans, right? Lots of people make fun of anybody who cares about anything deeply, right? But I’m here to say, it is always a great thing to care … whether it’s environmental issues, animal rights, women’s rights, equality, never be afraid to show how much you care.”
