Rachael Leigh Cook veges out

Rachael Leigh Cook, 28, hasn’t eaten meat since she was 15.

“I think that a lot of people don’t need to eat meat,” The Final Season star tells me. “I don’t think it’s for everybody but I’m just not somebody who needs it.”

How difficult is it to maintain the diet?

“I eat a ton of cheese and peanut butter for protein. It’s not hard for me to meet my requirements that way. It’s nice seeing a cute animal and knowing that you haven’t eaten its brother.”
