Those people at Peta are really good at their “promote vegetarianism with us,” campaign. Their latest conquest is Sushil Kumar (shown in the blue), who won the Bronze medal for wrestling in the Olympics this past summer.

As we told you earlier, Kumar was a wanted man soon after his victory, because Peta found out he was vegetarian. And they wanted to show that Kumar, like other athletes that have worked with them, such as Mac Danzig, proves physical strength and ability can be maintained with a meat-free diet.

Kumar couldn’t resist. He’s agreed to work with them and said in an interview:

“I am a vegetarian myself and I want to send out this message to everyone that vegetarians are powerful, they have the stamina. Look at me, I defeated non-vegetarians from America and Kazakhstan in the Olympics. So, you can see that vegetarians have a lot of strength.”

No details on exactly what Kumar will be doing to work with Peta, whether it’d be PSAs or possibly less than fully dressed adventures.

Way to go for Kumar. And congrats to Peta for one more victory under its belt. We know they’ve got a little black book somewhere they like to brag about.

“I think I can convince anyone to become a vegetarian. David Boreanaz [Booth, her crime solving partner on Bones] used to make fun of me for being a vegan, but then I started giving him vegan food to eat, and he loves it. Now he tries to eat vegetarian 1 day a week.”
—-Emily Deschanel, in an interview with Women’s Health.

Poker champ Daniel Negreanu has given poker lessons to several celebrities, including fellow vegetarian Tobey Maguire.

Although Tobey still does occasional dairy, Negreanu went completely vegan in 2003. Wonder if they shared secrets for five bean soup as well as five card draw?

Either Negreanu is a good teacher, Maguire is a good student or both.

Tobey has become quite accomplished, competing and winning in tournaments like World Poker Tour and World Series of Poker. He won first place in the Phil Hellmuth Invitational – No Limit Hold’em 2004 National Championship of Poker in Los Angeles. The prize money was a nice $95,480.

Of course that’s pocket change to an actor that pulls millions from a single movie, but hey, bragging rights are priceless.

What can Russell Brand do for Britain? Reduce obesity rates? Encourage more physical activity? Have naked ladies wearing only lettuce cups go door to door reminding you to eat your veggies?

These are just a few of some possible campaign pointers he should mention in case he decides to run for Food Minister.

Celebrity Chef Jamie Oliver has expressed concerns over Britain’s rising health problems and says the country is in need of a Food Minister to help stop and reduce what he calls the “obesity horror show.”

But this horror show doesn’t involve Rocky coming to life. And ooh, girlfriend, those Transylvanians have gotten fa-aat!

Peta UK has jumped on the chance to remind everyone that a vegetarian diet can help you lose weight and is better for the planet and has created its own ballad for vegetarian celebrities that would be perfect for the Food Minister position, including shock jock Brand.

Other celebs on the list include Paul McCartney, Joanna Lumley, Morrissey, Russell Brand, Benjamin Zephaniah, Leona Lewis, Jenny Seagrove, Alexa Chung, Jodie Marsh, Martin Shaw, and Thom Yorke.

Whether you live in the UK or not, you can participate in the decision by going to Fish and Chips and leaving a comment as to who you think should take the helm.

The “obesity horror show” can change. Let’s do the time warp again…but with a vegan Frank. N. Furter.

Martina Navratilova was slamming tennis balls at speeds most of us would only drive if we were taking NASCAR lessons before the days of Venus, Serena, and Maria Sharapova snapping pics of her dog Dolce.

She has supported animal rights and used to be completely vegetarian, then started eating fish because she found it hard to get protein while traveling so much.

Which leads to an interesting question: Is it really that hard to get good veg food away from home, if you don’t bring along a private chef? And are celebrities who claim to switch to a less than completely veg life because of health reasons really trying hard enough?

Sure, it’s hard to find vegetarian/vegan food on the road to purchase sometimes. Not to mention traveling in other countries.  But how many of you guys have packed a protein bar regularly or a Ziploc bag of nuts? It seems that if you’re worth millions, it should be the easiest thing in the world to eat vegetarian and vegan as you have the resources to get any type of meal you want-from healthy prepackaged varieties to a freshly catered full course meal via a personal chef.

Obviously an individual’s diet decision is ultimately a personal one, but is claiming it’s “too hard,” due to traveling or time constraints taking the “easy way” out?
