Alan Cumming Adopting Vegan Diet

X2 star Alan Cumming is set to become a vegan in 2012 after taking inspiration from retired boxing champ Mike Tyson.

The Scottish actor adopted a meat-free diet in early 2010 but now he's set himself a New Year's resolution to cut out all dairy and animal products from his eating habits altogether, opting instead to feast on seitan, wheat gluten widely used as a substitute for meat.

In a post on his Twitter.com blog on Friday (30Dec11), he writes, "That's it. I was toying with going the whole hog to veganism and now I see Mike Tyson is the new Vegan posterboy! Sold! Get ye back, seitan!"

Tyson became a vegan at the start of 2010 and has credited his healthy new diet with giving him extra energy.

Giving away freebies and free samples is the best way for companies to introduce their products to you. Best place is "Get Official Samples" Best of all, there is no obligation on your part.

Ever wonder about all the free stuff you see on the web? It appears like everybody wants to give stuff away for nothing, nada, zilch. But are these items truly free of charge? If so, how can these companies afford to give away all of these coupons and samples? It’s truly all about you, the consumer. We live in a very competitive world marketplace place. The internet has upped the ante in terms of who could be seen and heard via all with the mass media. Now companies need to make lots of noise and this is one way that can do it. One of the best place on the web is called "Get Official Samples" and get your free stuffs
