Vegetarian Star

New Yorkers are in an uproar over the fare hikes and service cuts the Metropolitan Transit Authority (MTA) has approved in its 2009 budget.

One man expressed his feelings personally by attempting to throw a shoe at Chief Executive Elliot Sander-mimicking the Iraqi reporter who threw his shoes at George W. Bush, before being escorted out.

People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), being the peace and goodwill promoting organization it is, has offered to help solve this problem so hopefully Chief Sander will only be dodging snowballs this winter.

They would like to purchase advertisement on MTA that would allow riders to hear pro-vegetarian testimonials by vegetarian actors Forest Whitaker, Casey Affleck, and Kevin Nealon.

Fantastic idea, but why not take it a bit further. Along with the personal testimonial, include shout outs as to where to find the food. Something like,”I’m Forest Whitaker and I’m a vegetarian. Check out the Falafel cart at 46th and 6th“, may make the advertisement dollars go further.

You can listen to each celebrity’s announcement over at PETA’s blog.

On the 4th day of Christmas, my Ellen gave to me, a Matt & Nat bag that was cruelty-free.

Wow! We should be recording Bing Cosby classics.

Vegan talk show host, Ellen DeGeneres, celebrated the holidays this year by featuring a segment on her show called “12 Days of Giveaways,” where she gave the audience several presents such as a Blu-Ray disc player, espresso machines, and a vegan bag from Matt & Nat, the company with bags named after vegetarian actress Jorja Fox.

Watch the video below where she jokes that a video tape has been released of her in a “private moment,” before she makes the big announcement of what’s being given away that day.

Bryan Adams exposed himself to Rachael Ray. Geez, we thought he was a gentleman.

Actually, he still is. He just opened his refrigerator to the celebrity chef for her Everyday with Rachael Ray magazine in the December/January 2009 issue, where you’ll also find his favorite Pineapple-Ginger juice recipe, which he drinks every morning.

His fridge is obviously stocked similar to what we told you was in his shopping cart, such as wholesome vegan foods like medjool dates.

Those who follow him know he’s been a vegan for 20 years and he even switched to a completely raw diet for awhile, which he claims during that time he never got sick.

“I didn’t even have a headache—it was unbelievable,” he said. “So now I still try to eat raw about 50 percent of the time.”

So take that, Bijou Phillips, who recently said she was going back to Atkins to lose weight and being a vegan made her sick all the time.

Adams has a self-portrait in front of his fridge-probably to remind him of how gorgeous his body looks so he’ll keep eating vegan.

Read his interview with Rachael Ray, and hear how he’d love to invite her over for a 30 Minute Meal of cheeseless rigatoni pasta with pesto sauce.

“I felt a responsibility to do something about the impact I have on the environment because of my racing career. I am speaking out about my actions in hopes of bringing awareness to race fans and the racing community. Carbon offsetting is not the solution to climate change, but I had to do something about my unavoidable emissions.”

—-Race car drive Leilani Munter, the self-described, “vegetarian hippie-chick,” who in addition to carbon offsetting, has lessened her environmental impact by being a vegetarian for years.
