Magician changes diet

Saw this neat video about my favorite magician/Libertarian.

Seems he's almost Vegan now.

Thoughts?
Alcohol may have been a factor.

Taxation is theft.

Not bad for a guy who once said that he would torture hundreds of monkeys to death to save one drug addict (or something similar). By the way, Penn is not really a magician. He is just the entertainer/announcer. Teller is the magician in the duo.
How to become vegan in 4.5 hours:
1.Watch Forks over Knives (Health)
2.Watch Cowspiracy (Environment)
3. Watch Earthlings (Ethics)
Congratulations, unless you are a complete idiot you are now a vegan.

I think Penn was talking about animal testing, it was in an episode of Bullshit. I have to wonder if he still feels that way. He was something like an Randian Objectivist, so he believed only humans have moral value because social contract. I think he's drifted from that position a little as he's gotten older.

His weight loss was pretty amazing, but not that surprising.
