Vegetarian Star

Heather Mills has taken a lot of heat in the media lately from her divorce settlement from Sir Paul McCartney to charities claiming she owes them money to just not being very nice in general. But fortunately, for her and many children living in poverty, she’s making headlines for something good this time.

Mills will be donating $1 million dollars worth of vegan food to children of Hunts Point, a South Bronx neighborhood where many live in poverty. She’ll be making the donation in a ceremony tomorrow in Hunts Point Riverside Park, where she’ll be grilling veggie hot dogs and burgers for Hunts Point Alliance and is set to receive an honorary congressional award from congressman Jose Serrano.

“I see us as stewards of all this, you know – the air, the land, the animals. There’s this complete dismissal of life on Earth. We’re destroying each other. We start on the animals, then we start on humans. It always starts on the low rung, and it just escalates. It doesn’t look like it’s getting much better.”

—Singer Chrissie Hynde, Pretenders’ rock legend and vegan restaurant co-owner, in an interview with The Baltimore Sun.

Just a little reminder if you live near New York and you haven’t already made plans for the weekend. And if you have, just tell your date a “family affair,” came up. Better yet, take him or her with you to the benefit for the Woodstock (N.Y.) Farm Animal Sanctuary featuring cartoonist Dan Piraro and singer and songwriter Nellie McKay. Hopefully, Nellie will grab something nutritious to eat before her performance, versus her usual fare of french fries.

The most bizarre cartoonist will do his 45 minute comedy act followed by the feminist who sings about having no sense of humor when in comes to equal pay and ending child abuse.

Tickets are $20, doors open at 7pm, and it’s first come, first be entertained with a night of awesome vegan performers. Go to their website for any other information you might need to convince yourself that this is going to be one fun night.

Forgive us, for we have Eco-sinned as well.

We’ve been covering the veg beat in politics lately, including Obama’s desire to get more veggie for the children, Laura Bush’s organic obsession, and Chelsea Clinton’s vegan chef experience while she was in living in the White House. Lauren Bush, is the niece of President George W. Bush, but she really has more to claim to fame that this familial association. At the age of 22, she became a humanitarian with the U.N. World Food Programme, she’s launched an environmentally friendly clothing line, and she has been a vegetarian since the age of four! Most of us barely knew how to pronounce most of the food we ate then. The fashion model and designer basically made the decision after learning what she was eating was an animal. She tries to be as green as possible, but she’s not a saint. Watch the video to hear her reveal her “Eco-sin.”

Joanne Rose is an Australian born actress that has appeared in “CSI: New York” and as a stand in for the movie Knocked Up.

She was heavily influenced by the late River Phoenix, who was also a vegetarian, in her decision to stop eating animal products and is not too keen on the advice some medical professionals give about healthy eating.

“It bothers me that there are dietitians out there who encourage people to eat meat and dairy,” she told Celebrities For Health. “They believe that eating red meat gives you the essential iron intake you need…You can get all the right vitamins and minerals from being a Vegan. You can also take vitamin supplements to enhance your dietary needs.”

Some of her favorite foods are rice balls, tofu burgers, and wheat-free vegan pizza. She was kind enough to share one of her favorite recipes for “Savory Sauce.” We haven’t tried it yet, but sure sounds like something to share at a future staff dinner.
