Actress Alicia Silverstone has a stunning body, that much is clear. The 40-year-old animal lover was recently featured in a PETA ad, where she urged people to boycott the wool industry and everything related to it.
In the poster, Silverstone is holding a sheep mask while exposing her butt in a forested green landscape. The photo illustrates that she would rather go naked than wear wool. The ad was unveiled in Times Square on Monday, Nov. 21.
Silverstone is a longtime spokesperson for PETA, and says she felt comfortable stripping down for the camera since it was for a good cause. Although she was shy about it, Silverstone trusted the photographer Brian Bowen Smith.
The actress says she wouldn’t appear naked in movies or on TV, but for the animals she hopes that the message is heard. According to PETA’s website, sheep are often kicked, beaten, and mutilated so that wool can be used for coats, scarves, gloves, sweaters, and boots.
Silverstone also appeared nude in a 2007 ad where she encouraged people to become vegetarian. PETA named her the “Sexiest Female Vegetarian” in 2004. She was also published a vegan book called The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide to Feeling Great, Losing Weight, and Saving the Planet in 2011.
What is Alicia Silverstone’s Diet Advice?
What is the Kind Diet? A vegan and macrobiotic diet inspire the Kind Diet. In her book, Alicia Silverstone explains how to go vegan.
A vegan diet excludes all types of animals and animal byproducts, including poultry, meat, fish, dairy, eggs, and even honey. The diet is a plant-based eating plan that contains vegetables, fruit, lentils, beans, and grains like brown rice and quinoa. A vegan diet can help with weight loss, digestion, type-2 diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
Silverstone also recommends eating local and in-season food whenever possible. Instead of honey, white sugar, and evaporated cane sugar, she recommends you choose maple syrup, agave, molasses, barley malt, brown rice syrup, and fruit. She also recommends reducing your intake of alcohol and caffeinated drinks like tea and coffee.
The Kind Diet has three phases:
Flirting: This means you are new to a vegan lifestyle and will gradually transition away from animal-based foods.
Going Vegan: This is where you are committed to a vegan lifestyle.
Superhero Phase: This is the phase where all processed food is cut from diet, and you also limit nightshade vegetables like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplants, and also nuts, fruits, and sweets.
