In as much as Heidi Van Pelt is an American Vegan Chef, her profession didn’t make her famous neither did her background did. Heidi Van Pelt became the subject of discussion in the media as well as among internet users not because she committed a crime.
Her marriage to popular American child actor Taran Noah Smith who acted as Mark Taylor’ in one of the most talked-about sitcoms in the 1990s, Home Improvement made her name travel far and wide without a visa because of the massive age difference – 16 between their ages.

She looks nice looking. Hope she has a proper diet though. I worry about Vegans. They can have health problems if they ignore meat entirely. I think most Vegan will mix fish and eggs into their diet to keep healthy. They just avoid eating stuff like hamburgers or hotdogs unless it's Vegans burgers and dogs. We evolved from eating meat so it's why many doctors recommend Vegans to eat fish and or eggs on occasion. I eat way too much meat personally. I probably should go on a slight vegan diet. Too much of anything is bad. Need a nice mix.
