Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres maintained a strict vegan diet for eight years before gradually reintroducing fish and eggs—though not for any specific reason.

She said: “I’m not really vegan, I say it for the joke … I was vegan for eight years and I really believe that it’s great for you. I was healthier than I’d ever been, I loved being vegan.

“But just in the last year or two, for no reason really, I started eating a piece of fish once in a while. And I’ll eat eggs from chickens I know — if they are in someone’s backyard and they’re wandering around and they’re happy.”
