James Cameron and the word futurevore diet
The Canadian famous director James Cameron has attained great success. He has switched to plant based eating around a decade back and his happy with his decision.

“I tried to come up with a good term for it because vegan has all those connotations,”
“‘How many vegans does it take to screw in a light bulb?’ ‘It doesn’t matter. I’m better than you.’ You just want to punch a vegan. ‘Punch a vegan today: It’ll feel good.’’’
“So the term I came up with is ‘futurevore,’”
“We’re eating the way people will eat in the future. We’re just doing it early.”
James’ recent film and veganism
The premiere of his new film installment Avatar, The Way of the Water –– is due soon. It discusses his creative abilities and personal eating habits and interests. He feels that with this new term, he will be able to persuade more people to adopt plant based eating with no negative tag attached to it. Talking about his switch to vegan lifestyle in 2012, James told GQ:
“I’m 10 years, 100 percent, not a molecule (that I know of) of animal entering my face,”
“And I’m healthier than I’ve ever been, and most of these punks can’t keep up with me. It’s not a biological mandate that we have to eat this stuff. It’s a choice, just like any luxury choice.”

“We thought, ‘This is it: sports performance. Right? A lot of people care about sports performance — and between the lines, it’s sexual performance,’”
“So it’s vigor, it’s energy, it’s staying younger, but we made it about sports, and then just went out after all the vegan athletes and showed how they were doing better.”
