Alicia Silverstone's meat-free dogs fart less
Remember when Alicia Silverstone posed naked to encourage vegetarianism? That was awesome. Whether you're an animal-rights activist, believe that meat-free lifestyles combat global warming, or just enjoy attractive women in the nude, there was something to be excited about. Now the veggie-loving celeb is extending her eating habits to the animals she cares about -- namely her dogs. To any pet owner who's watched their pooch salivate at the scent of bacon, this may seem counter-intuitive. (After all, dogs are supposed to eat meat, right?) But apparently this alternative diet doesn't harm Fido in the slightest -- and, in fact, it has some surprising benefits. Alicia recently told TV host Graham Norton that: "All four of my dogs are vegan, they don't fart anymore!"
I'll be honest, while the environmental benefits of a vegetarian existence are certainly appealing, neither I nor my pet have gone meat-free. However, if it will stop her from eeking out asphyxiating broccoli farts of death, then maybe it's worth a closer look.
Which celebs got naked for the planet?

This is so typical of Alicia Silverstone. NO ONE, but NO ONE is allowed their own opinion (her class-less entrance on The View, snubbing one of the hosts because she doesn't agree with HER), and certainly her carnivore dogs are not allowed to eat what comes naturally.
By the way, I don't eat red meat or pork, but I especially have a hard time swallowing this has-been's control freak ways.

I find that hilarious -- I just recently switched my dog to a more raw-based diet, so she's eating MORE meat. And guess what? She doesn't fart anymore! (And she's a boxer, a breed known for their horrid flatulence, so believe me, it was VERY noticeable when it stopped!)

As usual the class-less, rude (as shown by her performance on the view), has-been nobody Alicia is showing her grand stupidity. It's a shame she hasn't grown up. She has been this way since I first met her in grade school in the bay area. She is a fake and showoff and mainly a nobody. She's in her early 30's and still is a rude stupid pig. The only way she got into the movie business is through her lawyer father who bought her way in. UGH!!! for Alicia. MAKE HER GO AWAY!!!! SHE'S A REAL NOBODY!!!

If I were her dog I'd bite a big chunk out of her *** and go live elsewhere. No meat, now that's cruel and unusual punishment to the dog.

Why is it that this is even news? Farting is causing global warming and we are all gonna die. People have been farting for how many years and now all of the sudden the greens believe it is toxic? I want to know what you been smoking!

A meatless diet is not simply unnatural it is dangerous. Morons like Silverstone think feeding dogs a grain heavy diet is doing the dog a favor, when infact Corn, Wheat, Rice and Soy ALL promote the growth of tumors in dogs !! I feed a grain FREE diet and yes once in a while one of my 9 dogs has a gassy issue, normally after polishing off one of the kid's veggies slipped under the table!
Actors are so desperate to be loved and Peta is so eager to enlist their celebrity they deserve each other.
