Natalie Portman is yet another celebrity who confuses veganism with plant-based eating. She is not vegan, never was vegan, never understood veganism and eats a mostly plant-based diet.

She became a vegan in 2009 after reading Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals.

Actress Natalie Portman writes that Jonathan Safran Foer's Eating Animals turned her vegan. Read the article: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/natalie-portman/jonathan-safran-foers-iea_b_334407.html

I completely agree with you vegemate. She is definitely a conscious, compassionate human with a beautiful spirit.

Well, Natalie is an attractive young woman. She is also a talented actress, however there are many attractive talented actresses, are there not? So what is special about Natalie Portman. To start with she was born in Jerusalem, one of my favorite cities. But most importantly, she is a conscious human. Yes, Natalie is a vegan and you can't get much more special than that! Natalie, you are a special human on this wonderful planet!
