Is JB going to be A VEGAN?

It’s always nice to see beloved artists jump on the animal-friendly bandwagon, so today’s edition of Vegan Roll Call is extra-exciting. According to RadarOnline, Usher not only “frequents vegan restaurants,” he wants to get Justin Bieber to join the bandwagon. Eeee!
RadarOnline reports that “a source”** told them that Usher, who has been known for both his pipes and his ultra-muscular physique for years, has been experimenting with veganism for a while. From the article:

Usher frequents a few vegan restaurants in New York City and not only loves the food, but feels like it’s the healthiest way to live,” a source exclusively told RadarOnline.com

Of course, being vegan isn’t just about losing weight–and plenty of vegans aren’t any healthier than those who eat sensible meat and dairy. But a diet low in animal products can be much lower in saturated fat, cholesterol, and carcinogens (like those found in beef) when done correctly. It’s also way more fun to have a vegan buddy. Which could explain why Usher is trying to get J-Biebz in on the diet with him. Again, from the “source” (how cryptic!):

He’s desperate to get Bieber on the same health kick he is and thinks with all the touring and busy schedule he has, it would keep him energized.

Energized! To do all that dancing that he does!
The once-floppy-haired singer has a history of animal activism–who can forget these ultra-adorbs PETA ads where he promoted adoption from shelters?–but he hasn’t quite taken the plunge to remove any and all animal products from his diet. He’s also currently a spokesperson for Pro-Active, and has been candid about his history of battling acne. And hey! Woody Harrelson said going vegan helped his skin clear up, so maybe it would would for Biebz, too?
If Bieber did decide to join Usher on the path toward a kinder existence, it would probably be a major coup for those who are interested in animal rights. Surely, if the teen heartthrob started stumping for veganism, plenty of True Beliebers would follow in his Canadian footprints.
C’mon, Justin Bieber. Even if this article is pure speculation, do the world/animals/the environment a solid. Set a sweet example for your fans and start testing the vegan waters. We’ve got plenty of recipes if you need any help making the switch.

 

**I can neither confirm nor deny that this source is real, or that any part of this story is real, because I am not important enough to have a direct line to Usher to ask him. I’m choosing to believe it. 

Anyway, 
Lots of Love, Lea :) :) xxx
