No, David Attenborough is not vegan. He has stated that he does eat fish and cheese, but he has also said that he has reduced his meat consumption significantly in recent years. In a 2019 interview with Radio Times, he said, "I eat fish, and chicken, and my conscience does trouble me. I'm affluent enough to afford free range, but it's a middle-class hypocrisy."
Attenborough has been a vocal advocate for environmental protection for many years, and he has spoken out about the impact of meat production on the planet. In his 2018 documentary, "A Life on Our Planet," he said, "The future of the planet does not lie with meat and dairy production."
Despite his personal dietary choices, Attenborough has said that he believes that people should eat less meat. In a 2020 interview with Good Housekeeping, he said, "I do think we should all eat less meat. We have to find other ways of feeding ourselves."
Attenborough's position on meat consumption is complex and nuanced. He is not a vegan himself, but he does believe that eating less meat is important for the health of the planet. He has also said that he is personally struggling with his own meat consumption, and that he is trying to make changes.
