Beyonce and Jay-Z have recently announced that they are now on a 22-day plant-based diet. This challenge boils down to the fact that, until Christmas day, there will be no animal products on their plates.
Although the couple stressed that their diet was a plant-based and not a vegan one, many choose to ignore this little piece of information.
Hence, some animal rights activists were appalled to hear that, on Thursday, Beyonce wore fur to a vegan restaurant in Los Angeles dubbed Native Foods, Ecorazzi reports.
The way these activists see things, nobody can call themselves a vegan and then go around wearing some poor, unfortunate animal's fur.
Apparently, Beyonce can. She can because, according to her and Jay-Z's statements, the couple is not vegan. Just plant-based.
I for one doubt that Beyonce and Jay-Z will stay plant-based forever, maybe even convert to veganism one day. But I do hope that they will quit wearing fur and leather.
