Why Jon Stewart is vegan
Jon Stewart is vegan for the animals and for health.
Jon was influenced by his wife, Tracey – author of Do Unto Animals – to slowly change his diet and go vegan. Jon Stewart stopped eating meat in 2015 after realising “pigs have a personality” and then transitioned to a vegan diet. Although they both started as vegetarians for ethical reasons, the couple decided to switch to a wholefood plant-based diet to improve their health.1Smith, K. 20xx.

Now they have a 45-acre animal sanctuary in New Jersey with rescued pigs, goats and sheep.
