I FINALLY started watching the show Weeds recently. I am enjoying it. And I gotta say, Kevin Nealon is still a funny guy. And guess what else? He’s vegan. Way to go, Kev. Actually, he refers to himself as a “cheatin’ vegan” and says he does splurge into vegetarianism occasionally. He even admits to eating fish sometimes. Woops. So I’ll leave it up to the critics to call him a fake-egan, or what have you. But I do still admire that he does the vegan thing, even if it’s not a full-time gig. Because, hey, he’s still doing far more for those animals than most. In addition, he has done promos for PETA. You can see one of his TV ads here:
If we want to delve into the six degrees of Weeds, I would like to also mention that Zooey Deschanel, who plays a kind of eccentric psychotic on the show, is a vegetarian. And her sister, Emily Deschanel, the star of Bones, is a vegan. YAY!! And has been for about 16 years now! Emily is a great activist for veganism and the environment. She stresses how closely linked veganism and environmentalism really are. Here’s a nice clip she has on Sprig.com in which she talks about veganism, being green, and her love of thrifty fashion.
