Pamela Anderson's Vegan Milkshake

Pamela Anderson teamed up with PETA at Los Angeles' Millions of Milkshakes to launch her new vegan milkshake concoction. The "Pamela Anderson" is a vegan vanilla soft-serve blended with coconut and pineapple. Yum!

When Anderson was asked why it is beneficial to be vegan, Anderson replied, "It's healthier. It did it just to be healthy. I wanted to make healthier choices."

"Leading health experts agree that going vegetarian is the single-best thing we can do for ourselves and our families. Healthy vegetarian diets support a lifetime of good health and provide protection against numerous diseases, including our country’s three biggest killers: heart disease, cancer, and strokes. The American Dietetic Association states that vegetarians have “lower rates of death from ischemic heart disease, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower blood pressure, and lower rates of hypertension, type 2 diabetes, and prostate and colon cancer” and that vegetarians are less likely than meat-eaters to be obese."

Well-planned vegetarian diets provide us with all the nutrients that we need, minus all the saturated fat, cholesterol, and contaminants found in animal flesh, eggs, and dairy products.
