Vegetarian Star

Radio Host Don Imus usually makes headlines for something less than pleasant, or at least that’s what it seems like in the past year or two. As we stated before, we will continue to focus on the positive things some bad boy (or bad girl) celebrity is doing.

Located near Ribera, New Mexico, the Imus Ranch, is designed to give the American cowboy experience to children with cancer or blood disorders or have lost a sibling to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

The Ranch serves a strict vegan diet to its little cowboys/cowgirls, and uses cleaning agents that are biodegradeable, non-toxic, and derived from natural sources. The landscaping is also maintained in the absense of pesticides. Don and his wife, Deirdre, are also both vegetarians.

On September 16th, 2008, The Imus Ranch Record will be released featuring artists such as Stevie Nicks, Patty Loveless, and Dwight Yoakam. Proceeds will benefit the ranch. The complete track list is as follows:

1. Silver Springs — Patty Loveless
2. Lay Down Sally — Delbert McClinton
3. Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys — Lucinda Williams
4. You Better Move On — Levon Helm
5. Life Has Its Little Ups And Downs — Raul Malo
6. I Ain’t Never — Little Richard
7. I Don’t See Me In Your Eyes Anymore — Randy Travis
8. You’ve Got To Fight For Your Right To Party — Big & Rich
9. What A Difference A Day Makes — Willie Nelson
10. Give Back The Key To My Heart — Dwight Yoakam
11. What Happened — Bekka Bramlett
12. Welfare Music — John Hiatt
13. A Satisfied Mind — Vince Gill

As promised, we like to bring you oldies but goodies. RZA is an actor, rapper, musician, and producer of the group Wu-Tang Clan. Born Robert Diggs, he uses an awful lot of other names such as Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Bobby Steels, Rzarector, Abbott, and Prince Rakeem.

A year ago when he was touring in Europe, Time Out took a little time out to ask him questions about his veg lifestyle. He’s created his own veggie burger, the RZA Burger. With all the stars doing their own food lines lately, we’re wondering if the RZA burger can give Boca a run for their money. One catch though: The RZA burger is served on waffles!  While we’re not flocking to the stores to request them, maybe there will be a niche market somewhere.

You’re touring Europe right now with the Wu-Tang Clan. I know you keep a strict vegetarian diet—what are you eating over there?
The Grand Hyatt in Berlin definitely came strong with the spicy rigatoni. Berlin also had a good butternut-squash soup. In the old days it was terrible over here for a vegetarian. Nowadays they stepped their game up, yo. The whole Clan’s been saying it.

What’s a RZA burger?
A RZA burger is a veggie patty with a fried egg, cheese, lettuce, pickles and all that, smashed between two delicious waffles. Spread mustard and mayo on it with a little butter and put that shit together. Trust me, son, that shit needs to be in stores.

I’m sold. Do you bust out the grill on tour?
If I have my special tour bus ready by then, you may be able to get a burger. If I’m on the regular tour bus, then bong bong.

Read the rest of what RZA, Bobby Digital, Ruler Zig-Zag-Zig Allah, Bobby Steels, Rzarector, Abbott, and Prince Rakeem have to say here.

Bollywood actress Jiah Khan is not a vegetarian, but has an interest in becoming one. Lately, she’s been teaming up with PETA to urge people in India not to fly kites with glass coated strings which cut birds while they’re in the sky. Apparently this is popular to do during kite flying festivals like Makar Sakranti and Independence.

Khan dressed up as a bird and held a kite that read “Cut out glass-coated manja, not wings.” Manja, of course, being the word for “string.”

Khan is a lover of animals, which may explain her desire to someday go veg, having both cats and dogs as pets.

Looks like he’s looking for the nearest McDonald’s arch. I bet if we could zoom in, we’d see saliva dribbling down his mouth.

Tommy Lee agreed to go vegetarian as an attempt to win back his ex wife and mother of his children, Pamela Anderson. The plan worked for awhile, but it seems as if his lusting for beef has caused him to be less than faithful to the veg lifestyle.

“There’s been two times now, where I’ve driven by In-N-Out (burger chain) and I’m like, `Pull the damn car over, I need a triple-triple (burger), dude,'” he said. 

Dude, Pammy isn’t going to like that, you know?

We thought he’d at least be smart enough to keep his burger liaisons a secret versus blabbing it to some random reporter.

But what do we know? Perhaps they have a…ahem…open relationship.

Two months ago, Mac Danzig sat down with XtremeCoutre to chit chat.

He’s proof that vegan men aren’t wimpy, and tough athletes can show their artistic side as he got into photography at the age of 16. The Ultimate Fighter champion has been a strict vegan for about 4 years.

He agreed to do an ad for PETA, although he doesn’t agree completely with how the group goes about promoting vegetarianism.

“A lot of people get mad at Peta. I don’t blame them. I agree with their mission. I believe in animal rights. I think it is a great cause. But I think the way they go about their business is very junior high most time.”

“They toilet paper people’s houses and do these ridiculous protests and it makes people say, “these animal rights guys are nuts”. That ruins it for the whole movement. But there are some really cool people that work for Peta that I met. The problem is Peta has a bad rep and now my name is synonymous with them.”

Looks like he may have angered some of those “animal rights guys are nuts” people already.

“You know how much sh*t people talk on the Internet because there’s anonymity. They get offended as if I’m telling them not to eat meat. I couldn’t care less if they eat meat or not.”

So maybe it hasn’t become as famous as, “To Be or Not To Be,” or any other little verses we were forced to memorize in high school. But who knows…a hundred years from now, young pupils may be reciting the great works of Rapper Common and his thoughts on dairy:

“I think and speak clearer since I cut the dairy out. I can breathe better and perform at a better rate, and my voice is clearer. I can explore different things with my voice that I couldn’t do because of my meat and dairy ingestion. I am proud and blessed to be a vegetarian, everything became clear.”

Common, along with other famous and celebrity quotes by people like Kate Bush and Moby, are located at Happy Vegetable.

Our runner up for favorite quote is by a well known doctor, Dr. Neal Barnard, head of the Physicians Committee For Responsible medicine, vegan, and frequent Vegetarian Times contributor who specializes in diabetic research:

“The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of “real food for real people” you’d better live real close to a real good hospital.”

This September 24th, Mary Tyler Moore will be joining the cast of “Lipstick Jungle,” to play Brooke Shields’ television mom who is a retired high powered executive enjoying her new role managing her daughter’s life and telling her how to run it.

Her character’s experience may mimic Moore’s real life ascension in the entertainment business.

“I’m fortunate to have had a front row seat to the evolution of working women on television,” Moore said.

Moore was once quote as predicting that one day, meat eating would be just another chapter in the history books.

“It may take a while, but there will probably come a time when we look back and say, ‘Good Lord, do you believe that in the 20th century and early part of the 21st, people were still eating animals?'”

Dear Senator Obama…

“This might be a strange analogy for a vegan to use, but if you want to make an omelet
you have to break a couple of eggs. Start breaking some eggs.”

Vegan Moby decided to write a letter to Senator Obama in the Huffington Post to urge him to fight even harder for an upcoming presidential election victory. His less than warm feelings for McCain are shown by attacking his knowledge of both politics and geography:

“Dear senator Obama: FIGHT BACK. You’re battling a dimwit who doesn’t know the difference between Sunni and Shi’ite, who still refers to countries that ceased to exist in 1993(Czechoslovakia), and who believes that Iraq and Pakistan share a border.”

He’s also a little less than pleased at how the recent Democrats have challenged the G.O.P:

“In 2000 they slandered Al Gore as saying he invented the internet and was an elitist. And he fought back how? Oh, that’s right, he didn’t. And in 2004 they slandered John Kerry by questioning his military service. And he fought back how? Oh, that’s right, he didn’t. And now they’re slandering Obama in a hundred insidious and incorrect ways. And he’s fighting back how? Oh, that’s right, he isn’t.”

Judging from Moby’s criticism, Obama may have to start throwing a few punches to at least make the junior varsity team.
