Back to Vegetarian Celebrities

Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke had a whole list of reasons for cutting meat out of his diet -- including romance! "First thing was 'Meat Is Murder' [a song by the Smiths]," he tells Animal Aid. "The second thing was getting sick all the time every time I ate meat. Getting sick a lot. And the third thing was I started going out with this girl and I wanted to impress her so I pretended I'd been vegetarian all along." While he was fudging on the life-long vegetarian front, Thom says he "Immediately felt a lot better, a lot healthier. I was concerned, as many people are, about that 'you're not going to get all the things you need in your diet, you're going to get sick all the time,' but the exact opposite happened to me, so I never looked back. It was never a problem straight off."
