Vegetarian Star

“In 1988 I was reading an article on pesticides, acid rain and how we farm animals and that’s what made me go vegetarian. And it’s certainly changed my life. I’ve never had a weight problem since. I don’t change weight. And if anyone knows how old I am, you know that there’s something to it. You just become much more aware of foods and the atrocities to animals, what we’re doing to the animals, the planet; the fact is that everything goes hand in hand. Environmentally, how we farm animals affects the environment, affects the riverbeds, affects the ocean, affects the air, and that’s what a lot of people don’t realize.”
—vegan actress Linda Blair, in an interview. She’s best known for playing a possessed child, Regan, in the 1970s film, The Exorcist.

We know it’s been awhile since you had food voyeurism. Thankfully, we found some to break the dry spell.

Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig is one super cool vegan athlete proving you don’t need meat to beat the crap out of your opponent. And here’s how he does it.

He’s a big fan of brown rice, portobello mushrooms, and tempeh, as well as quinoa, black beans, and lentils. Although not that into fake meats, Gardenburger “Riblets,” do bring him to his knees.

And what does an Ultimate Fighting Champion and a evening with your girlfriends have in common? Both like to get drunk off sweets.

“I eat a ton of soy ice cream and vegan cookies when I’m not dieting,” Danzig said. “This is my weakness, but my metabolism burns most of it off.” Good thing, otherwise, it would go straight to his thighs. Sigh…

Example of what he might eat during intensive training weeks when he’s really counting calories:

“Salad w/ baby greens, artichoke, olives, mushrooms, high-protein grilled tofu and light goddess dressing. Fresh strawberries and grapes for dessert.”

Of course, this is just a tease. For the full monty, you’ll have to go elsewhere. We just don’t do those kinds of shows here.

California’s third oldest person died at 111 years old earlier this month.

Viola May Koch is pictured here at her 111th birthday party.

What did Viola attribute to her longevity? The veg life of course!

“Drink plenty of water, don’t eat meat, don’t overeat, don’t eat between meals, and don’t eat desserts — except for lemon pie,” she once said.

Viola not only lived a good lifestyle, she preached it to her family as well.

Her granddaughter, Sharon Baldwin, was quoted in the Weekly Calistogan as saying, “Grandma told me when I was a little girl, that she started eating right about the time she was 40 years old, and that it was not too early for me to start. She especially told me not to eat too many potato chips, because she knew that was my favorite thing.”

“Grandma is strictly a vegetarian, and I believe she has never eaten any meat, ever,” Baldwin said. “I know I’ve never seen her.”

Viola often wondered why everyone kept asking her why she lived so long. She just told them it was because she ate right. She also never took medications, saying they made her feel “unfit.”

At 111, she looked better than some celebrities do at 50. Let’s all hope we look half as good when we turn 80!

Andre “3000” Benjamin is almost vegan, having some honey now and then. When he was asked what he would do for his last day on earth, he replied, “I’d probably go for a great meal—some broccoli probably, because I’m a vegetarian.”

Broccoli?

Make no mistake about it, we’re a vegetarian website, so we do love our vegetables. But for your last day on earth would you really only want broccoli?

We were thinking maybe some seasoned and marinated tofu with rice and other vegetables in addition to the broccoli. Or a crusted seitan with portobello mushroom sauce. Heck, we’ll even settle for a frozen dinner, if Amy’s is available. But broccoli?

But who are we to judge a man’s last meal on earth. To each his own. It’s probably better for the waiter who has to take his broccoli order anyway. Anything more elaborate than that would not be worth the hassle as Andre wouldn’t tip.
