Alicia Silverstone says her Bear, seven, is so healthy from veganism

Alicia Silverstone Says Her Seven-Year-Old Her Bear Has Never Been Medicine, Thanks To The Benefits Of Her Veganism.

'He's never had to take medicine in his life. He can get sniffles and a runny nose but he's not down, he still goes to school, 'Alicia, 42, dished to Page Six.

'Two times in his life has been like: "I'm not feeling good," "said the actress.

Alicia became a star at 18 with the movie Clueless, went vegan at the age of 21 and promoted the lifestyle on the talk show – often to the fun of the hosts.

'I remember when I would go on David Letterman and go on Jay Leno and they'd be like: "Vegan ?! What's a vegan?",' Alicia recalled to Page Six of those early days.

'And they would just make it happen I was an alien, no one was talking about being vegan on television.'

When she said on the Graham Norton Show in 2008, she vamped: 'Are not you scared they're going to crack and eat you?'

Alicia shares her little pride and joy with S.T.U.N. Christopher Jarecki, whom she married in 2005 and filed for divorce.

They have remained so amicable co-parents, to the point Alicia keeps her granola at his home so that it does not overly tempt her in her own.

'I can not keep it in the house. I let Christopher have it at his house. I'm not going to eat it, 'said Alicia to Page Six.

Alicia uses the granola in a recipe that she learned from her mother and has included in her new cookbook The Kind Diet, which she has been doing the rounds plugging.

Her parenting choices when it comes to food has been criticized before, going back to when Bear is not yet a year old.

Alicia posted a video in which she fed her infant – which she had already decided to raise vegan – by chewing food and then transferring her from her mouth straight to his.

The video, posted to her blog The Kind Life, set off a controversy, prompting her to defend herself at a press conference for her movie Vamps.

'People have been feeding their kids for years. It's a weaning process. Honestly, when I posted the video I was not thinking, so maybe I was like Dear! ' said Alicia, referring to her Clueless character, not the pop diva Cher.
