Vegetarian Star

Sushil Kumar is a wanted man. He should have known it was coming sooner or later. The Olympic Bronze wrestling athlete is the latest celebrity to be asked by PETA to do an advertisement proving that vegetarians, especially vegetarian men, can be meatless and athletic.

In a letter to Kumar, Anuradha Sawhney, chief functionary for PETA India, said, “We would like to feature you in one of our vegetarian ads. Your victory at the Olympics 2008, held in Beijing, would certainly attract attention – and make it clear that a vegetarian diet can lead to a body built for Olympian feats.”

No word on whether Kumar will accept their offer. No word on whether they are expecting him to get naked either. Maybe they’ll mention it if they get him in person.

Some notable celebs who took advantage include environmental activist and vegetarian actress Daryl Hannah.

Lisa Edelstein plays the ever patient Dr. Cuddy who has to endure the anti-social, grumpy, and downright rude Dr. Gregory House on the Fox T.V. hit series House. She’s been a vegetarian for 26 years, with bouts of strict veganism here and there.

She cooks for meat eaters, but never has felt the need to compromise. “They never miss the meat when they eat at my house and they always leave full,” she said in an interview. She also said not being a meat eater is “no big deal,” and suits her well.

Before House, Edelstein played roles of a transsexual, hooker, and sex-obsessed artist and claims to have done them so well based on her personally knowing these types of people.

No wonder we never made it to the big screen. All of our friends are completely boring. Read more of the interview here.

It’s good to keep up on political issues, whether you like any of the candidates or not. You should be studying energy and immigration policies, how each are planning to solve the high-priced gas issue, and whether McCain likes pepperoni or vegetable pizza.

Yes, that right. You need to know what the politicians are eating!

Vegan Dennis Kucinich is said to favor food of the same color-moderate tan. Of course this sounds as if someone is obviously poking fun at his vegan preferences of hummus, pasta, and pad thai.

McCain may be be furthest from the vegan politician, and not just in terms of views. One of his favorite foods include pepperoni pizza. And we’re not talking about the soy kind. According to the Chicago Sun Times, he is also a big fan of the very unveggie B.L.T.

Executive chef Scot Jones of The Vegiterranean, a vegan restaurant co-owned by him and Pretenders Rocker Chrissie Hynde in Ohio, suggested that regardless of what party you root for, you must admit your favorite politician could probably benefit from some eating improvements.

“The eating habits of both Republicans and Democrats need to change across America,” he said. “People are eating too much saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sugar. The level of juvenile diabetes is absurd. The only way we can start to stop this is if the White House starts thinking about our future.”

Maybe that change is sooner than we think. Obama already wants more veggies for the children. And he also likes vegetable pizza.

While L.A. may seem like the organic and raw food hub in the U.S., not every part of the city fits that description.

In some inner city and African-American communities, for example, fast food restaurants on every corner may outnumber the number of outfits Paris Hilton has for her dogs.

With diseases like diabetes and abdominal obesity hitting the African-American community hard, the outlook may be even more grimmer.

But all is not lost. Recently, the city has seen numerous black owned vegetarian and vegan restaurants open and several African-American celebrities, such as Erykah Badu, Russell Simmons, and Kevin Eubanks have teamed up with PETA to get the veg word out.

The most recent testimony is by retired basketball player John Salley. Go here to view his video. And if you live in southern Cali or are visiting, be sure to give your support and visit some of the black owned vegan restaurants, such as  Vegan Village Café, Stuff I Eat, and Rahel’s.
