Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Did anyone else see Uri Geller on Ready Steady Cook just now? He was a very good advert for veg-ism.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Hi Jo No, I didn't see the programme. Is Uri Geller a vegetarian??? I saw the programme last year with Anthea Turner (meat eater) and her sister Wendy Turner Webster (vegan). The chef groaned when Wendy said she was a vegan, but in fact she won! I thought she was a terrific advert for veganism on primetime tv.

Uri said that it was healthy and that he didn't want any animals to die to nourish him. He explained why he had bought the items, and what nutrition there was in them. The other person (the girl who does Robot Wars) won by a small margin. She was using organic food. Obviously I preferred Uri's meal, but the other meal looked very good apart from the salmon.

Guest guest Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 > > Is he vegetarian or vegan? I read a famous veggie list somewhere recently that said Uri Geller was " no longer vegan " , although how up to date that was I don't know (I can't even remember the source) and he could have changed back since.

That does seem odd, but it's probably not something he would want to publicise if it were true, given that he widely promoted veganism (going by the animal-lib interview). Joel.

Why? > Interview with Uri Geller about being vegan for 28 years: > http://www.animal-lib.org.au/interviews/uri/ I though I'd heard he was vegan, but I tend to forget this sort of thing after a while!!! Everything he had on Ready Steady Cook was vegan (which could, of course, just be co-incidence, but how many non-vegan vegetarians know what a meal without dairy products is??)

Guest guest Posted April 17, 2002 Report Share Posted April 17, 2002 A few years ago after supporting the Vegan Society, he did use yogurt in a recipe on Ready Steady Cook, so he was in a bit of trouble with them over that, but no doubt he is still vegetarian. Who knows maybe he is vegan again, but he did have a lapse certainly.

This is an indication that Uri is no longer vegan: http://www.adalarms.force9.co.uk/cybershop/shirts.htm " 100 percent silk shirts owned and actually worn by Uri Geller with proceeds going to save the children. " I doubt he would wear or endorse silk if he was still vegan. Right, I *will* do some work - that's enough 'web research' for now Joel.

Just because I answered the same question twice with different answers. >Everything he had on Ready Steady Cook was vegan (which >could, of course, just be co-incidence, but how many non-vegan vegetarians >know what a meal without dairy products is??) Cheese is the new meat, didn't you know? 8-) I'm not sure why the Vegan Soc claims as an aside that he is no longer vegan, I haven't seen it claimed anywhere else, so maybe he is still a dietary vegan but not in some other area? I think unless anyone knows anymore I would still consider him a vegan, but regardless of that he still made a good advertisement for veganism on TV.

He certainly was a great advert for veg*anism on Ready Steady Cook! He had the knack of explaining very quickly why he was vegetarian, the advantages etc. without sounding like he was preaching.
