Naked Alicia Silverstone Promotes Vegetarian Diet; Green Turtles Caught Cheating On Theirs

Clueless star Alicia Silverstone bares all for PETA in a slick 30 second film clip which the actress hopes will encourage people to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle. “I’ve been vegan for 10 years, and it’s the single-most important and helpful decision I have ever made,” says the actress in a statement on PETA’s website. “Being vegan truly is the secret to my life’s joy and peace. I feel physically and spiritually better than I could have ever imagined knowing that I am doing everything I can to reduce animal suffering with simple lifestyle choices like being vegan, never wearing any products made from animals (like wool and leather), and buying only from companies that NEVER test their products or ingredients on animals.”

Meanwhile, scientists have discovered that green sea turtles, a species who were thought to be 100% vegetarian, have been secretly snacking on fish. For the first time researchers have discovered the deep sea hideout, where hatchlings have hung out under the radar of researches, up until now, while indulging in carnivore chow. “This has been a really intriguing and embarrassing problem for sea-turtle biologists, because so many green-turtle hatchlings enter the ocean, and we haven’t known where they go,” zoologist Karen Bjorndal explains to LiveScience. "Literally, when green turtles run off their nesting beach and into the ocean as little hatchlings, they disappear. And nobody sees them again [for years]." After dining on jellyfish and other sea creatures for up to five years, the beefed-up young resurface closer to shore where they take up a vegetarian lifestyle, munching mostly on sea grasses -- a food choice PETA would heartily approve of.
