阿拉丁是维根！| Disney's Aladdin is Vegan!

迪斯尼真人秀《阿拉丁》中的主角，Mena Massoud，你一定猜到了——是纯素者！他不仅是一个长期的纯素者，他还活跃在维根社区中，甚至计划在6月1日建立自己的维根社区。

Lead character in the Disney live-action remake of Aladdin, Mena Massoud, is—you guessed it —vegan! And not only is he a long-time vegan, he also plays an active part in the vegan community and even plans on launching his own vegan community on June 1st.

作为一个演员变成维根有什么样的感受呢？为什么他选择维根？在和朋友们研究了畜牧业之后，他了解到了动物产品对环境、动物和人类健康的负面影响。通过逐步过渡，而且最终把所有的动物产品都剔除了。他在一个埃及家庭长大，在吃了23年的肉后，家人很难接受他的决定。他妈妈曾说他只不过是虚张声势，但他解释说，当他下定决心去做某件事时，往往会全力以赴。其他演员都非常接受他的新生活方式，他每周工作14小时，去6次健身房！他认为作为一个维根，打破那些刻板印象是他的工作。

So what was it like for the actor to become vegan and why did he choose vegan? After researching about animal agriculture with his friends, he learned about the negative impact that animal products have on the environment, the animals, and human health. He transitioned gradually, but he was eventually able to cut out all animal products. Growing up in an Egyptian family, they found it hard to accept his decision after 23 years of eating meat. His mom even tried to call his bluff, but he has explained that when he puts his mind to something, he tends to go all in. Fellow actors have been very receptive to his new lifestyle, which allows the actor to work 14-hour days and hit the gym 6 days a week! He believes it is his job as a vegan to break down these stereotypes.

多年的纯素已经成为他生活的一个重要组成部分，这就是为什么他创建了Evolving 维根社区，这个社区旨在打破维根和那些转变者之间的壁垒，并摆脱诸如“纯素食者”、“杂食者”和“素食主义者”等标签。他希望Evolving维根能够通过给那些有兴趣转变为维根的人提供健康的维根生活建议以及食谱，哪怕只是一周一次植物性饮食。

After year years of being vegan, it has become an important part of his life, which is why he created the business Evolving Vegan--a community that aims to break down the barriers between vegans and those transitioning and get rid of labels such as “vegan” “omnivore” and “vegetarian”. He hopes Evolving Vegan will help to promote a healthy vegan lifestyle via advice and recipes to those interested in transitioning into veganism, and is aimed at those willing to make a change, even if it’s just eating plant-based once per week.

“很多维根认为——你要不是纯素的，要不不是纯素的，不能是半纯素的。没有中间地带，也没有时间问问题或者主动过渡。如果你不是100%维根，那么社区也就没有空间和时间教育和接受你。”他解释说。

“It was apparent to me that many vegans made it seem like you were vegan or you were not vegan. There was no in between and no time to ask questions or actively transition. And if you were not a strict, 100% vegan then there was no room or time to waste on educating or accepting you into the community,” he explained.

“人们认为，当谈到维根时，你必须瞬间颠覆所有。砰！没有蜂蜜，没有皮革，没有牛奶。所以我们想让人们知道这是一个循序渐进的过程。你不需要变得完美，你可以一直慢慢过渡到你的生活方式，因为即使你开始在每周的食谱中轮换加入几个纯素菜品，你也已经开始有益于你的健康和地球，这是对每个人都有好处的。”

"People think that when it comes to veganism you have to go all in. Bang! No honey, no leather, no milk. So we want to show people that it can be a gradual process. You don’t have to be perfect, and can always work at slowly transitioning to that way of life—because even if you start by adding a couple of vegan recipes into your weekly rotation, you’re going to be start benefiting your health and the planet, so everybody wins.”

他还计划出版一本食谱，分享一些他经常在Instagram上发布的美味食谱。但这并不是全部，在拍摄阿拉丁之后，这位维根演员计划在北美各地旅行，以突出植物为主的厨师和纯素食品。旅行将记录在一本鼓励其他人吃更多植物性食物的生活方式的书中。

He also plans on releasing a cookbook to share some of the delicious recipes he often posts on his Instagram. But that’s not all, following the filming of Aladdin, the vegan actor plans on traveling around North America to highlight plant-based chefs and vegan foods. The tour will be documented in a lifestyle book for the purpose of helping others eat a more plant-based diet.
