Owain Yeoman: This beefcake is an animal lover

He plays the cute, smart and goofy CBI Agent Wayne Rigsby on the television series, The Mentalist. Actor Owain Yeoman reveals to us the surprising meal that made him change his meat-eating ways.

Why I don't eat meat:

I was the biggest meat eater you could imagine, but I also am an animal lover. Christmas last year, my wife served me an amazing faux-meat dinner and didn't tell me that it wasn't real meat and it was so, so good. She revealed to me later that I had just eaten an entirely vegetarian meal and it became clear to me that being vegetarian would not only be easy and satisfying, but I realized then that I could no longer reconcile being a part of anything that caused so much harm to so many animals on a daily basis, so I cut out the meat and I feel physically better and my conscience is clear.

What I enjoy eating:

I am a veggie burger connoisseur! There are great veggie burgers all over LA where I live, and the bigger, the better. I really like hearty food like potatoes and good fresh vegetables. I love lasagna and tacos and a good curry. The great thing about being vegetarian is the taste of these dishes really comes alive because it is fresh and you don't get that greasy, heavy feeling you get with meaty stuff. I feel lighter and healthier. I am a big foodie so it is fun to cook with an entirely new way of looking at food - meat doesn't have to be the centerpiece and that's been a liberating discovery.

My fave veg restaurants:

There are so many good ones these days all over the world, but in LA where I live, I like Flore in Silverlake on Sunset; Madeline Bistro on Ventura in Reseda, Bulan for Thai food is amazing and I really like Real Food Daily as well.

Funniest thing ever said to me by meat eaters:

Someone once asked me if I wasn't concerned that vegetarianism will "stunt my growth" and at 6'4" and 190 pounds, the last thing I am worried about is my growth being stunted!

My favorite line as a veg:

I don't like to preach about it, but when people ask, I simply say that I couldn't call myself an animal lover and still eat animals. There's no difference between the terrified pig who's fighting for her life in a slaughterhouse and the dog I live with at home who I love so much. Their pain is the same … their fear is the same and I simply don't want to do anything that causes harm if I can avoid it. In this day and age of evolved food preparation and the availability of vegetarian food, there's no excuse. There's an abundance of choice and choosing cruelty-free is both ethically and nutritionally

satisfying.
