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."

the lack of realism is astounding. we don't have robots smart enough to be effective guides and most blind people couldn't afford that shit anyway.
what about other kinds of therapy animals? therapy animals for mental health? dogs who can smell epileptic seizures?
at least pretend you care about disabled people more than dogs. just try.
that research and development? it takes time. it takes years. it takes decades. in the meantime, REAL PEOPLE are dying from dangerous seizures and living half-lives due to poor blindness intervention and not having access to therapy animals, and what you propose would cause real HUMAN suffering while technology tries to catch up.
the need for dignity and independence isn't just societal. it's a human need. how DARE you deny that to the blind or disabled? because you don't care about their needs as much as your high-handed vegan views? fuck you and your ableism. it's honestly disgusting.
i was pretty much wasting time with the agriculture thing, but this is really, truly disgusting.

NO NO NO NO NO NO NO
how the fuck don't you understand why a disabled person - a human fucking being - would want autonomy and independence like any other regular person? you are fucking clueless. this is not a societal issue, this is a human need, how does someone not grasp this? keep fighting for the rights~ of animals because you clearly have no clue when it comes to your fellow man.
because guide dogs allow blind people a shot at living an independent life. relying on carers and "human guides" does not. it's really not a hard concept for anyone who has an iota of concern and consideration for disabled people to get...
idgi i'm being so rude and nasty
Are you actually 100% serious right now?
