Vegetarian Star

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the greenest of them all?

Vegetarianism and environmentalism go hand in hand. You really can’t discuss being eco-friendly without at least talking about reducing meat consumption.

So it’s no surprise that several known vegetarians as well as some rumored vegetarians have popped up on the Coventry Telegraph list of greenest celebrities.

There’s vegan Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who refused to play in Glastonbury earlier this year, because the city had poor public transportation and he and the band felt that was damaging to the environment.

Vegan Alicia Silverstone has long supported PETA, but also has her own organic vegetable garden in the yard of her solar powered home she shares with her husband.

Natalie Portman attempted to make things greener for shoe fashionistas by starting her own vegan shoe line and donating a portion of the profits to charity. Although Te Casan closed shop, she still leads by example, never failing to let the media know she’s vegan, and filmed a video for National Geographic about how replacing regular light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs would have the environmental impact of taking millions of cars off the road.

Read about what the other celebs that made the list, including Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Jack Johnson are doing at the Coventry Telegraph.

The horror/comedy film Suck, which vegan musician Moby has a role in, has just completed a few days of filming in Toronto.

As we told you earlier, the story is about a loser band that meets a vampire that while changes their fame and make others lust after them, results in their insatiable lust cravings for blood as well.

Since there is so much blood and guts in the film, you might wonder what kinds of props they’re using. Rest assured, Moby’s not down with being covered in real meat.

Suck’s production crew had fake beef created from latex rubber and foam, then dripped in fake blood.

The latex beef will be thrown at Moby’s character, Beef Ballow, lead singer of a band called Secretaries of Steak. Secretaries of Steak is a rival band to the loser band, The Winners, who’s luck improves after meeting the vampire.

Other stars in the film include Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, and Henry Rollins.

American Idol winner and country music star Carrie Underwood has been a vegetarian since her teens and recently helped fellow Idol alum Kellie Pickler make the transition to the diet.

Carrie made the decision to stop eating meat while living with her parents, who ironically, are cattle ranchers. And although she wouldn’t dare eat anything they produce, it didn’t change her feelings for them.

“I respect what they do very much. That’s what put clothes on my back and paid for college,” she said in an interview with Tampa Bay Online. “But cows were like my dogs. I named them, I played with them, I bottle-fed them. When I realized why we had cows, I couldn’t think of anyone eating my friends. It scared me, and I quit eating meat.”

When she goes home to Oklahoma these days, it’s not exactly the vegan mecca, like L.A., so she’s forced to bring her own food.

“I can get a veggie sub at Subway, but that’s about it.”

People who grow up and take on different beliefs or lifestyles from their family deal with it in different ways. Some become extremely outspoken to the point where it damages relationships and some are able to separate the people from the act they do.

Are you a vegetarian in a family of people in the meat industry, such as cattle ranching or even a butcher shop? Has it affected your relationships with them in any way since you became vegetarian?
