It's oddly rare to find vegetarian movie characters onscreen, and as a vegetarian myself whenever one shows up it's an OMG moment. There are plenty of vegetarian/vegan actors and actresses, but their roles are less so! So, I'm dedicating this post to all the vegetarian movie characters out there. To be updated as I think of more or you guys help me with some suggestions. :P

ReplyDeleteThe Bella Swan character is interesting because she was not vegetarian in the book, but is in the movie.
Evil Ex Boyfriend wasn't a vegan! He had that latte or whatever.
ReplyDeleteAhhhh yeah you're right! Hahaha. I sort of had to include him though because of how his veganness was a plot point. :P
ReplyDeletewow, us vegetarians are really under used in films. i hadn't even considered this before now. the list is an example of how we are marginalised by mainstream media cultures.
