Vegetarian Star

The Animal Planet television series, “Whale Wars,” premiered on November 7, 2008. If you’re looking to watch a vegan, eco-pirate show, this may for you.

The heavily Hayden Panettiere promoted show stars Captain Paul Watson, who founded the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. He and his crew on the boat named “Steve Irwin” after the late crocodile hunter, attempt to non-violently stop Japanese ships from hunting whales that are to be later used in research purposes.

The crew is fed three vegan meals every day, as was revealed in the introductory episode. No word on if every one on board is completely vegan or if the Captain just has some strict rules about what happens on his boat.

Some of the tactics the crew uses to deter the whale hunters are throwing stink bombs filled with rancid butter on the ships.

And this is not your typical peaceful protest. In one episode, Watson was allegedly shot, but was protected by his bulletproof vest.

Is this Whale Wars or Cops?

It will be interesting to see if veganism comes up in future episodes between shoot ’em up moments with the hunters.

Martha Stewart has just admitted she sucks. Actually, she just admitted that she’s not the greatest cook in the world. Her daughter, Alexis, is.

“My daughter is a better cook than I am. And she’s the first to admit it! She’s limited somewhat in what she cooks because she is a vegetarian. But she’s a fantastic baker.”

While limited may be a matter of opinion, after visiting her Whatever Alexis blog, we definitely would like to taste what Alexis is cooking up.

She shares some of her recipe and cooking experiences there regularly, and for November,  she’s got cinnamon rolls and a vegan recipe featuring kidney beans, thyme, garlic, and onion.

After confessing she ate most of the onions and garlic from the bean dish first, Alexis is sorry. (Or maybe sorry for those who had a conversation with her afterward.)

We’re sure mom Martha is smug knowing she has the better breath.
