Semi-Naked TV Presenter ‘Served Up’ as Food on World Vegan Day

To mark World Vegan Day today, presenter and actor Sarah-Jane Honeywell lay virtually naked on a giant plate – complete with to-scale cutlery, chips and peas above a banner that read, “Try to Relate to Who’s on Your Plate. Go Vegan”. She encouraged passers-by to have compassion for the billions of animals who are abused and killed as part of the meat, egg, dairy and fishing industries every year and was accompanied by PETA supporters who handed out copies of PETA’s vegetarian/vegan starter kit.

“Going vegan is the best decision I’ve ever made – I have tons of energy, and I know that I’m not contributing to animal suffering”, says Honeywell. “A vegan diet is good for your health, for the environment and for animals – and there’s no better time to switch than on World Vegan Day!”

In addition to damaging the environment and human health, eating animal products causes suffering on a massive scale. In today’s industrialised meat and dairy industries, chickens and turkeys often have their throats cut while they’re still conscious, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers, fish are suffocated or cut open while they’re still alive on the decks of fishing boats, calves are taken away from their mothers within 48 hours of birth and, each year, millions of unwanted male chicks are gassed or ground up alive by the egg industry.

Join Sarah-Jane by going vegan today, and then check out her new music video As Above, So Below, which uses footage of factory-farmed animals.
