"I am vegetarian, though, and so is my family"
About this Quote
The second clause, "and so is my family", shifts the statement from personal preference to social infrastructure. It frames vegetarianism less as an individual performance and more as a lived household norm - routines, grocery lists, holidays, a shared table. In celebrity culture, where lifestyle choices are constantly commodified, invoking family is a way to make the decision feel grounded rather than trendy. It also borrows legitimacy: this isn’t a phase or a brand partnership; it’s how we live.
Context matters: Fisher comes from a Hollywood lineage where wellness, ethics, and image are perpetually braided together. The sentence works because it’s small on purpose. No moral grandstanding, no sanctimony - just enough disclosure to be relatable, and just enough distance to stay likable. It’s vegetarianism presented not as superiority, but as normalcy with a self-aware shrug.
