Ellen Degeneres: vegan
Tobey Maguire is not going to eat this spider because he's vegan.
I recently read an article in Vegetarian Resource Group, a scrupulously scientific source of vegan nutrition and facts, about their 2009 Poll. Their survey showed that 3.4% of U.S. adults consider themselves vegetarian (no meat at all) and .8% are vegan (1.3% if you include those who eat honey). Similar results were obtained in 2010 when youths were polled. With a population of almost 310,000,000, there should be about three million American vegans. That’s a lot of people!
Some of them are famous. Wikipedia includes a list of vegans who are actors, authors, musicians, politicians, and athletes.
