Serena and Blair may jokingly put down vegetarian food, but Gossip Girl Dreama Walker, who plays Hazel Williams on the show, is now worshiping seitan.

Walker has embarked on a 30 day vegan adventure, motivated partly by her watching the Joaquin Phoenix narrated documentary Earthlings.

So far, Dreama's enjoying it and says she will probably continue, but does what to experiment to see how her body will react to eating dairy again.

Sounds like Dreama should also pay Rob Sedgwick a visit. She absolutely loves vegan ice cream!

"It's uncanny how much the soy ice cream tastes like real ice cream!!" she exclaimed during her interview with Ecorazzi.

This is a new and terrible thing to happen to him. I am too upset to think clearly. He is only three years old and he has been through so much."
