“Well, certainly I would hope that [he is vegan], but I’m not going to impose my belief on my child. I don’t think that’s right,” Phoenix said. “I’m going to educate him about the reality. I’m not going to indoctrinate him with the idea that McDonald’s have a Happy Meal because there’s nothing f—–g happy about that meal.
“And I’m not going to tell him that it’s okay to read books about all the wonderful little farm animals, and they say ‘oink oink oink’ and ‘moo moo moo’, and not tell him that that’s what a hamburger is,” he continued. “So I’m not going to perpetuate the lie, but I’m also not going to force him to be vegan. I’ll support him. That’s my plan.”
Mara alsoshared a glimpseinto her life as a mom this past Mother’s Day, when she wrote an open letter as part ofFarm Sanctuary’s Mother’s Day campaign.
