Vegan Anne Hathaway flaunts 25-lb weight loss

Actress Anne Hathaway, who lost 25 pounds on a crash diet for the film, "Les Misérables," looks sporty and sassy in the January 2013 issue of Glamour.





The slender 5-foot-8 Anne dons a white tank top and black underwear that accentuate her lean thighs. Hathaway, 30, admitted she essentially starved herself to look the part of the emaciated Fantine in the tragedy, "Les Misérables."

"I had to be obsessive about it; the idea was to look near death," Hathaway told Vogue. "Looking back on the whole experience, it was definitely a little nuts. It was definitely a break with reality, but I think that’s who Fantine is anyway."

Anne lost 10 pounds before shooting began, and then lost another 15 pounds during a two-week break in filming by eating only two thin squares of dried oatmeal paste a day. Hathaway's competitive personality enabled her to stick to her extreme low-calorie diet.

"I like to fight for a job," she says. "You feel like you've emerged from the scrap, and you're like, 'OK, this one's mine. Did it. Done.' "

Transforming herself physically is nothing new for the dedicated Anne, who worked out five days a week to play Catwoman in "The Dark Knight Rises." In addition to gym workouts, Hathaway underwent stunt training, did strength exercises as well as 90 minutes of dance every day.

Anne, who switched to a vegan diet while training for "The Dark Knight Rises," has really embraced the plant-based eating plan.

"I don't go the soy-meat route; I have a really plant-based diet," she said. "So I wind up cooking at home a lot. Kale is amazing. Spelt [a kind of wheat] pasta is amazing. I can't do the white-flour stuff. It makes me really ill."

well eating meat requires the death of an animal so that has nothing to do with rape. but dairy does since the only way dairy animals can produce milk is if they are artificially inseminated over and over, and the only way that is done is by raping them.

lol you're one of ~*~those~*~

nope bye

and you must be one of "~*~those~*~" who TRUELY thinks nonhumans are of a different moral status than humans. maybe if you read more work by ecofeminist carol j. adams and gary francione you wouldn't feel so adverse to vegans or the idea that god forbid we treat nonhumans with respect.

and maybe if you woke the fuck up you'd realise that a vegan diet is a luxury many cannot afford. not only can most people who live in poverty and on food stamps NOT afford vegan products, they are likely to be living in lower socio-economic areas that don't even stock and sell such products. or have you not heart of food deserts? not to mention the fact meat eating is an important part of many people's culture/religion, and there are people with health problems who cannot survive on a vegan diet. not to mention ED survivors who can find a vegan diet triggering.

maybe if you had half the compassion for people that you have for animals you'd realise how FUCKED UP it is to compare meat eating to sexism, racism, the holocaust, rape and child molestation. the fucking nerve of anyone to compare meat eating to any of the travesties i mentioned. get a grip.

you are exactly what people are talking about when they say they hate militant vegans. i'd suggest YOU read a thing or two about how privileged a vegan diet is and the completely valid reasons why people can not/will not become vegan. if anyone needs educating, it's you bew

speciesism is not the same as sexism, racism, or any other form of oppression of marginalized groups just as much as sexism isn't the same as racism. but they all have certain things in common like othering of certain persons and institutionalized power that works against them.

not everyone has the CHOICE to be vegan these days. and i never once said how veganism doesn't intersect with class cause it does...which is one of the hugest reasons some people just CAN'T be vegan. the fact that there are some people with health problems who can't survive being vegan is a problem as well. this is even more reasoning for those who are privleged enough to be vegan because if humans spent more time on developing ways for vegans with health problems to survive on a vegan diet the world would be a better place. but because a vegan lifestyle is not the majority, that won't happen unfortunately. those who can't afford to be vegan (health/economically wise) THOSE people have a legitimate reason to not be vegan cause their choice is ripped away. a vegan lifestyle is very privileged but if it was more widely accepted it would make those who ARE more economically challenged able to be vegan easier, and the interest would move toward the medical community to develop ways for those with health problems. it's a process that starts WITH those who ARE privleged enough to be vegan. as far as people with ED, thats a problem in itself than only professionals can help and since im not a psychologist idk how to help those with ED.

I totally understand where you're coming from wrt class. The sad thing about factory farming is that people privileged enough to be able to eat virtually limitless amounts of meat are taking that food and habitat away from people in other countries who are much less privileged. So basically the least privileged people in the states have no option except to support the factory farming system that fucks over people even less privileged than they are. It's sick.

nonhumans are of differnt moral status than humans. they dont have the same brains as us. how can anyone deny that?

What the fuck.

Is this the "right" way to educate people about veganism then.
alouds 2nd-Dec-2012 12:28 pm (UTC)
well if its not rape what is it? what do you call the artifical insemination of a being that can't consent? should we create a new word for that?

Point to where I said "that's not rape!"
Maybe it is rape, and that thought might make me grimace slightly at my next cup of chobani strawberry greek yogurt.

My point was you were saying the annoying vegans are the ones that go about 'educating' non-vegans in the wrong way, and here you are throwing out the shock tactics like a PeTA p.i.t.a.

THIS IS WHY PEOPLE SAY VEGANS ARE ANNOYING. THIS IS WHAT THIS WHOLE THREAD IS ABOUT. You probably used to be a reasonable person, and now look! No wonder starchain is worried.
alouds 2nd-Dec-2012 12:38 pm (UTC)
i'm not throwing out shock tactics. the fact that it is shocking isn't my fault, but it is what happens. why should i have to sit up and pretend it doesn't exist? that's how factory farming does it. and even if it is not factory farming, when someone forces one nonhuman to be pregnant for no reason other than to make them a commodity, what else can you say to that than the cold hard facts which is the nonhuman never consented to that, yet we still do it to them.

I would call it the artificial insemination of a being that can't consent. Calling it rape is factually wrong and a HUGE fucking insult to everyone who has ACTUALLY been raped.

Rape? Are you fucking kidding me.
howlcosmiclove 2nd-Dec-2012 03:44 pm (UTC)
Gurl...
_cheshire 2nd-Dec-2012 11:44 pm (UTC)
wow, you seriously just compared the experience of my rape (and the millions of others who have been raped) to a goddamn cow being inseminated.

what

hell
