Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal has been urged by People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) to join her husband Peter Sarsgaard in adopting a vegan diet after she confessed to eating ants and a live lobster.

The 'Secretary' star said in a magazine interview that she tucked into raw beef with charred ants and a live langoustine during dinner at a top Danish restaurant with her husband of five years, reported Daily Express.

"That meal must have been hell for Maggie's vegan husband to sit through. The kindest person is the one who considers and respects the smallest, most vulnerable inhabitants of this world and would never delight in their suffering.
 

"If Maggie is looking for an 'emotional' culinary experience, some of the best high-end vegan food - which Forbes magazine named the top food trend of 2013 - is served in Los Angeles, and it's good for the heart," a PETA spokesman said.
