I have not eaten red meat for 20 years. It cannot be said that this is entirely the merit of DiCaprio, but he was definitely the first who threw this idea and grew it in me. I became interested in macrobiotics when my father was diagnosed with cancer. Then it seemed to me that a special bond was established between us and that I could help him by eating right. " The actress also admitted that her food habits interfere with her acting work: “Filming the dinner and lunch scenes is bad because you have to eat the same thing over many takes, sometimes all day.

Otherwise, I risk getting an upset stomach."

Since then, meat has been removed from Shelest's diet: “I am not a meat eater by nature. Even as a child, I did not eat much meat. Sweet is another matter. When I was nine or ten years old, we stayed in the village with my grandmother. I remember the neighbors were planning a wedding. Numerous relatives arrived. And it was decided to slaughter the ram. The following pictures appear in my memory: a ram is brought in, tied in the yard. And the next episode - he is already hanging dead upside down in the barn, and he is being skinned. Catastrophe! This event made a tremendous impression on me. And I refused to eat pilaf, which was made from the meat of this ram. Moreover, I persuaded all my brothers and sisters to do the same. We then boycotted the grand dinner. And my grandmother then complained to my mother when she came to pick us up: they say, Olenka raised such a storm - she refused to eat. And through her fault, the children were completely emaciated. Since then, I have been very prejudiced against meat. And by the age of twenty she had given up on it altogether.

I gave up meat after the birth of my daughter: I realized how living things are born. And then we kill this living thing and push it into ourselves. It is hard for me to perceive the karma of an animal that died a violent death. So I've been a vegetarian for two years now.

In an interview, the actor admitted that even as a child he had no desire to eat meat: “Even when I was a child, it was hard for me. It had to be a perfect piece, without fat, cartilage, bones and all that stuff. I do not judge people who eat meat - this is not my business, but this problem makes me very upset.

He explains his position as follows: "Meat in English means meat, me means" me ", eat -" to eat. " It turns out that eating meat is the same as eating yourself. In addition, it is no secret to anyone that the structure of pig DNA is similar to the structure of human DNA, and therefore barbecue is clearly not good for our body."

Nikolay Drozdov

In addition to meat, Drozdov tries not to eat eggs, but sometimes he allows himself kefir, yoghurts and cottage cheese.

The Russian zoologist and host of In the Animal World has not eaten meat since 1970. To this act, his feat was one of his acquaintances, with whom Nikolai worked in India. Nikolay considers vegetarianism not only as food, but as a way of life: “… vegetarianism is really a position in life, proceeding from the philosophy of yogis. I believe that this path is very correct for a person. Our stomach is well adapted to plant food, but the digestion of an animal requires a lot of energy. Besides, I'm calm - they don't kill animals for my sake. You have probably seen more than once how housewives in the markets choose meat: this is for soup, this is for roast. And if you think about it, they turn over pieces of a dismembered corpse. In addition to meat, Drozdov tries not to eat eggs, but sometimes he allows himself kefir, yoghurts and cottage cheese. True, the TV presenter indulges himself with these products only on holidays.
