The Riverdale star has never eaten meat. Not once, not as a toddler, not on a dare. Raised in Port Orchard, Washington by South African parents who grew much of the family&rsquo;s food in their own garden, she was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta2.com\/culture\/madelaine-petsch-vegan\/\">vegetarian from birth<\/a> and made the last step herself: &ldquo;I turned vegan at 14.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That makes her something genuinely rare: a person for whom meat was never food in the first place.

She's still listed among vegan celebrities in the current 2026 roundups, with zero reports to the contrary, ever.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tiv-check\">Last fact-checked: July 7, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>The bok choy dress<\/h2>\n<p>In February 2017, weeks after Riverdale premiered, Petsch did her first PETA campaign wearing an outfit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.peta.org\/features\/madelaine-petsch-turn-over-new-leaf\/\">made entirely of bok choy<\/a>, under the tagline &ldquo;Turn Over a New Leaf&rdquo;. The same year, peta2 crowned her its Hottest Vegetarian Celebrity. New show, new fame, and the first thing she did with it was cabbage couture.<\/p>\n<p>Her practical side is just as consistent. The <a href=\"https:\/\/womenshealth.com.au\/riverdale-madelaine-petsch-vegan-meal-plan\/\">Women&rsquo;s Health meal-plan interviews<\/a> read like a nutrition checklist: &ldquo;Protein is something I really have to be aware of in every meal, or else my energy levels just go completely down hill.&rdquo; Overnight oats with chia for omega-3s, broccoli steak with black beans for dinner.

Aus S\u00fcddeutschland, besser gesagt aus dem Schwarzwald, seit 2019 Gr\u00fcnder von This Is Vegan, mittlerweile in Bali zuhause. Von hier aus treibe ich Tierschutzprojekte voran und reise um die Welt. Vegetarier bin ich seit dem 6. Lebensjahr, vegan seit \u00fcber 20 Jahren. Mein Ansatz war nie, Leuten ein schlechtes Gewissen zu machen. Sondern zu zeigen, wie einfach, lecker und entspannt vegan im Alltag funktioniert. Anziehung statt Ablehnung. Genau daf\u00fcr gibt's dieses Online-Magazin und den Plantbased Podcast: Menschen inspirieren, sich f\u00fcr Tiere und Umwelt stark zu machen und vegan zu leben.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.this-is-vegan.com","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/yannick.haldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/yannickhaldenwanger\/","https:\/\/www.pinterest.de\/thisisvegan_magazin\/","https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@thisisvegan"],"knowsAbout":["vegane Ern\u00e4hrung","holistische Gesundheit","Ern\u00e4hrung","vegane Rezepte","Kampfsport","Kraftsport","Proteine"],"knowsLanguage":["deutsch","englisch","franz\u00f6sisch","indonesisch"],"jobTitle":"Gr\u00fcnder","url":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/author\/yannick\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40584","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40584"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40609,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40584\/revisions\/40609"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40638"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40584"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40584"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40584"},{"taxonomy":"ernaehrungsform","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ernaehrungsform?post=40584"},{"taxonomy":"schwierigkeit","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schwierigkeit?post=40584"},{"taxonomy":"schaerfe","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/this-is-vegan.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/schaerfe?post=40584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
