Alicia Silverstone altered her diet after overhearing a distressing situation involving animals. In March 2022, Silverstone was interviewed by Vegan Food & Living for the “Simply Vegan” podcast. She shared that as an eight-year-old, she overheard a crying sound during a trip to the English countryside. “I heard the crying of these creatures, and I didn’t know what was going on,” Silverstone said. “A farmer told us, ‘Oh, that’s because the baby cows are being taken away from their moms.'” This moment changed her perspective and her diet.

While chatting on “The Ellen Fisher Podcast” in July 2022, Silverstone was asked about her long history with veganism and writing a vegan cookbook, “The Kind Diet.” Of penning the book, she said, “It was needed, and that’s why I did it … Everything takes too much work, so I would never do anything if it wasn’t needed.” She also stated that she initially went vegetarian after returning home from her family trip to England in which she’d heard the cows crying, before becoming fully vegan at age 21. Since making this move, Silverstone has remained an ardent vegan and advocate for animals.
