Making Mealtime Meaningful: Discover how we're giving back with the 12T Cares program →

Celebrities do not always publicize their diets, which makes a lot of sense. It’s not like people need to know ALL of their business, after all. As a result, there are a wide range of vegans currently flying under the radar. They have a number of reasons for being vegan, whether they are looking to watch their health, cut back on their environmental footprint, or reduce animal suffering.
