Pregnant CBeebies Presenter Sarah-Jane Honeywell Poses Nearly Nude As 'Mother Earth' | HuffPost Life

Pregnant Sarah-Jane Honeywell Makes A Statement In Trafalgar Square

Former CBeebies host Sarah-Jane Honeywell has posed nearly nude as 'mother Earth' after teaming up with PETA to highlight the benefits of going vegan.

Honeywell, 41, is eight months pregnant and wore only nude pants with her bump painted as the Earth while standing in London's Trafalgar Square holding a sign that read:

"Vegan – for animals, my health, the planet and future generations."

Speaking about her decision to be vegan, Honeywell said: "I want to tread lightly on this Earth so that others – hopefully, my son's own son or daughter – will be able to enjoy it, too.

"I also want to be healthy, strong and energetic for my son and I can do that simply by choosing plant-based meals."

Honeywell and fiancé Ayden Callaghan (a.k.a Joe Roscoe in Hollyoaks), announced in May 2015 they were expecting their first child together.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) is an organisation dedicated to protecting the rights of animals.

The charity states going vegan is the "single most important thing that we can do to protect the planet", as well as claiming the health benefits include a reduced risk of suffering from heart disease, cancer, strokes, diabetes and obesity.

This wasn't the first time Honeywell teamed up with PETA and decided to take her clothes off.

In 2011, the former TV presenter laid nude on a giant plate on World Vegan Day to promote kindness to animals.

The aim was so ask passers-by to relate to "who" is on their plate.

John Fraser was an early pioneer of Meatless Mondays at his Upper West Side spot, Dovetail—and Narcissa, a stunner of a space set within the Standard Hotel in the East Village, takes things a good step further. “They offer a full vegan tasting menu that’s absolutely delicious,” says Astafa. “You get a solid four or five dishes, with big flavors and amazing quality of ingredients. The drinks are great too, and there’s a photo booth downstairs that is also really fun.”

“Amanda is one of the originators of vegetable-focused cuisine—she’s been doing this since before it was trendy. I was a regular at her first spot,” says Lowe, “but the new location still feels approachable for all sorts of people who want to eat good food. You don’t have to be vegan to love this spot.”

“They ask you on the spot what you do or don’t eat, and build a menu around that,” says Lowe of the Thomas Keller classic. Per Se’s Tasting of Vegetables menu—which is mostly vegan—is really just a starting point, which you can customize to your specific dietary needs. “Perfection.”

“Eating here is a total experience,” says Lowe. “The staff brings you in to the kitchen for one of the courses, where you can watch the chefs cook and move around like they’re in a well-orchestrated ballet. It’s not just a meal—it’s an education.”

This new spot is like a megaplex devoted to holistic living—it includes a wellness center, yoga studio, juice bar, biodynamic wine bar, and organic raw food restaurant. There’s even a horticulturalist that comes to sing to the fig trees on property. But The Springs’ food is “very creative and modern, and the chef [Michael Falso] is very inventive odd ingredients.” What to order: the spanakopita, with coconut phyllo dough and almond feta, or the spaghetti carbonara, made with kelp and zucchini noodles and smoked coconut bacon.

“I never knew that there was a vegan menu at this modernist icon,” says Astafa, “but last year I found out that you can ask for one when you book. Unsurprisingly, the food was delicious. I loved the caipirinha cocktail—they make it tableside using liquid nitrogen. And the dishes are all riffs on the tapas on the regular menu, so you feel like you’re getting a comparable experience to the meat eaters nearby.”

“This isn’t a sophisticated spot, per se,” says Lowe. In fact, it’s pretty casual. But that’s part of what makes Plant so easy to love. Lowe recalls eating there multiple times on her most recent trip (there are two locations in the city—a destination she says “is not the easiest for vegans”). Her recommendations: BLTs made with tempeh bacon and rave-worthy vegan burgers.
