How many of them actually ate the food and how much of that food went in the garbage after the show ended because most of those celebs don’t eat at awards shows. It would have been better to ask these celebs not to fly on their private jets or use large limos to attend the ceremony. But I guess that’s asking for too much.
@ME :
I don’t think that all of us are suited to be vegan, but there is absolutely NOTHING, NOTHING WHAT SOEVER wrong with eating more vegan and eating a lot less meat, eggs and dairy.
It would make a huge difference, if millions of people would be eating more vegan than NOT!
I have several friends and coworkers that are flexitarian, they eat vegan from Monday to Friday, but enjoy a bit of dairy, eggs and meat on Saturday and Sunday.
They say that it improved their health, weight and finances, and they don’t feel deprived.
We are in a crisis, climate change is a real thing that is threatening our very existence.
We can all start improving the situation by eating more vegan, it’s not some huge sacrifice to be made.
I’ve read that the leftover food is being donated from these events.
I would like to see celebrities to lead by example and be more considered when travelling, just using different type of vehicles would be a nice improvement.
Do they all need limos and private jets?
I’ve been vegetarian since I was a teenager and way before it became “cool”. You’re preaching to the Choir. I was just saying that doing one Vegan meal at an awards show isn’t going to do much considering the celebs don’t even eat the food. Their lifestyle is what is the problem. Not only eating meat, but the way these celebs travel causes a HUGE carbon footprint…more than us regular folk.
I have been vegetarian for years, now I am flexitarian, I don’t even buy meat or eggs, and I usually eat it when I am not at home, or I am invited. My health is fine, and I think trying go veg once in a while can be a nice change.
“We can all start improving the situation by eating more vegan, it’s not some huge sacrifice to be made.”
Another fair point is that not all vegetarian/vegan food is created equally. If someone is patting themselves on the back for not eating meat, but are eating a crop that’s KNOWN to be hard on the planet, they’re not really doing better in terms of resources. There seems to be a bit of a disconnect when it comes to the amount of resources that are needed per calorie provided of vegan food.
Like – there are crops that take more water and energy per calorie to grow than meat, which means there’s actually a higher green house gas emission than if they’d just eaten at least some forms of meat.
Eggplant, lettuce, celery, cucumbers are some of the offenders when it comes to resources vs calories – to the point where eating pork would use less resources. Cashew farming is incredibly dangerous for the people doing it (many workers have permanent damage to their hands because of corrosive liquid between the two hard shells) – and the vast majority of workers are underpaid, and the conditions are horrible.
It’s more than just eating no or less meat (which is a GREAT idea for so many reasons) but also making sure to try and eat locally (not possible everywhere) and to really think about the amount of resources specific crops have to use.
@ Erinn : sorry, but it’s better do start someplace than do nothing. People have too many excuses, the obsession with eating animal protein in North America is outright scary. Eating pork is nowhere as good as eating vegetables. Such BS.
So tired of CB comments these days! 10 years ago great, & no ads!
You all answer with I, me, my, we dont give a crap about you!!
Your not a celebrity!!! Shut up!!!
@Summervibes come on, actually read my comment.
I didn’t say it was better for a person, or even better than most veggies – just that SOME crops use more resources than some meat and provide less in the way of calories.
And where did I say it’s not worth starting with small steps? I certainly didn’t say that was the case.
People just need to be realistic. It’s not plants = best, always. Not all plants are equal in resource needs, and I’m sorry – but if someone is receiving permanent damage to their hands in unsafe conditions to harvest stupid cashews, are we going to say that’s okay because hey, at least they’re gaining a disability in the name of vegan food?
They still have to provide food. Are you saying it would have been better to have meat not eaten and thrown away? Not sure I understand your point here..
Of course not. The point is why have food when they don’t eat it? Also, making a fuss about it being Vegan, when these rich celebs show up in huge limos or flew on private jets to get to the ceremony is a huge problem that seems to be overlooked by many. I do like some of the changes they made. Last year they had that Fiji water girl giving out water bottles on the red carpet. No water bottles this year it seems. But I did notice boxes of Lindt chocolates on the tables…those aren’t vegan I don’t think ???
Burning of forests for animal grazing, or to grow feed for animals, is an urgent climate issues that is happening in real time. The worldwide demand for meat has to go down if we are to stave off the worst impacts of climate change. Fossil fuel burning vehicles are a problem, but once a forest is gone, it can take hundreds of years to come back.
@ME, He did actually start talking about not using private jets and limes, but they played him off as soon as he started talking about it.
Even if they didn’t eat any of the foods it’s definitely way less wasteful than if they had meat and still didn’t eat it. No animal lives were lost. It’s cheaper and uses a lot less resources to grow vegetables than to meat.. that’s just the facts. You need to also get grain and water for the animals and then also deal with post slaughter remnants. With vegetables whatever is left over can be composted. Also maybe more awards shows will step up and do this. It’ll save resources and create waves of change. The film industry is INSANELY wasteful. One day of filming creates thousands of pounds of garbage and waste including wasted food. It’s all steps in the right direction, no matter how small the step.
I’d rather they threw out plants than animals.
Agree totally with the comments above. Film making creates a massive carbon footprint. Going vegan at one awards ceremony is hardly making a dent. I don’t doubt Pheonix’s dedication to veganism, but it’s purely optics here.
Yes, Lory, but we got to start somewhere, being ignorant is not a solution to the climate change.
Maybe it makes some more evolved people think that when they do throw an event they could do a vegan menu.
I don’t think most people would suffer somehow, if they would have a vegan meal.
Of course. I’m just saying they did it for political reasons (some may say who cares their reasoning if it draws attention to the problem) but this is their way of patting themselves on the back for applause and moving on.
I love the ones that are vegan but still smoke cigarettes. Lots of Hollywood still nicotine obsessed.
But it’s something rather than nothing and I love vegan food and not a vegan. And if you don’t care about animals, it’s also healthy for your body to consume less meat.
Omergersh! This is pretty huge! I mean…huge! For those who think it is too much to expect people to eat vegan, for crying out loud, its ONE meal! Hahaha. Brilliant! And the carbon footprint on this event is no doubt drastically reduced and not to mention the mindfulness about health and prevention of cruelty to animals! I think its awesome! 🙂
I want to go to the beach

comment of the day.
‘nough said.
A small step can lead to big steps.
I really don’t understand why people are mad about this, no, having one vegan meal at an awards show isn’t going to save the world but it also isn’t hurting anyone and it could be the first step toward some people making a change.
We don’t know how much food was wasted at any of the meat eating GG so why the concern about the only vegan GG?
The food wastage was always a concern, not just this year. No ones making a fuss about the Vegan meal. It could be ANY food, that’s not the point at all. These celebs and their God awful carbon footprints is what is the problem. How many carbon emissions did it take for them just to attend the ceremony last night? A private jet with only 4 people on board. A big ass stretch limo for EACH celeb. But they feel oh so good about themselves for the Vegan meal when meat is only part of the problem. I’m tired of typing the same thing over and over. Do as you please.
ME, for goodness sake, give it up already.
Yes, it would be great, if the celebrities attending the Golden Globes would show up in a HONDA instead of a stretch limo, I agree completely, but that most likely will not happen.
It’s more probable that many celebrities know they have to watch their weight due to their jobs, so they trying to eat a healthier diet and I’ve heard that many are already vegetarian and vegan.
The amount of eggs, meat and dairy being consumed is very scary and has a significantly negative impact on our planet.
It’s a very big problem in regards to climate change.
Yes this is way overblown. Saw some of the dishes and it looked delicious. If they served chicken breast and shrimp, would this even be a thing? Regardless of what was served, there would be food waste, so hopefully the leftovers were either donated or composted.
Funny no comments here on Beyoncie? BS? Hmmm. her time is gone!
Ooh! Tell me more, MJ! The conversation above is exhausting me, we need to hear your gossip!
@ Lua, just wait until your home burns to the ground, maybe climate change won’t be such a boring topic to you.
Surely not since you noticed her.
Finally back to a real actors!!!!? Not PC BS!!
I wonder how many people stopped at In-N-Out on their way to the after-parties.
I bet many of them stopped for a burger or a shake or something more filling after they drank and picked during the award show dinner and before heading to whatever after-party they were to attend.
Climate change is only a symptom not the root cause. People are just using it as a hot word these days…
If you want to fix the symptom known as climate change you need to address the root causes that cause this….
It’s arguable that climate change is happening from a scientific perspective- but pollution is a root cause to so many things (and it would effect “climate change”…
On another note- joachim Phoenix looked like he was feeling no pain when he took the stage- he wasn’t even making sense
I love JP but he’s so messy. RZ just looked messy too. Shut up Brad bro. Hold it together peeps. Awkwafina FTW.
I think what he did is awesome. Animal agriculture has an enormous impact on the environment and climate change. It’s just as bad (if not more so in some cases, depending on the type of pollution, etc.) than transportation-related pollution. Many people just aren’t aware of it for some reason. Google it – you’ll find it quickly. You can find legit data from Union of Concerned Scientists, the UN, etc.
No, the Globes meal isn’t going to change the world, but it was an attempt to reach the masses with more awareness that there’s a connection between agriculture and the environment, which he mentioned at the beginning of his speech (and he should have stopped there because the rest of his speech was a mess.) I can’t knock him for this. It’s a good thing.
Never seen someone looking so unhappy and aloof while receiving an award. It was very awkward when he walked up to the stage and before he spoke.
I’ve read that his dog is fed vegan!
@christina
That’s where I draw the line. DOGS DONT EAT LIKE HUMANS DO. No protein = health problem. It’s been shown also no grain is bad, and for so long it was avoided & vilified in dog food.
It’s animal abuse, plain & simple. I can’t with these self-righteous idiots. Talk to a VET & that educated, knowledgeable MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL will tell you just the same.
It’s upsetting when dumb humans think they know better than ppl that are actual trained professionals esp w/regard to animals diets. They’re like antivaxxers – they think they know better but they are scientifically illiterate & hurt others (other humans, animals) bc of their idiocy.
I wish these people could be culled from the population. They wouldn’t even survive in nature.
Rowans joke was so cute love him
not only is he a fine actor, he shows leadership around animal rights. I swoon Joaquin!
