Is David Attenborough vegan?
David Attenborough isn’t vegan, but he has suggested that he is still plant-based. In his latest project, David Attenborough: A Life On Our Planet, he advocated for meat reduction and to go plant-based. In an interview with Radio Times in 2019, he stated that he isn’t vegan or vegetarian, but that he rarely eats meat.
