Vegetarian Star

The Best of Raw poll brought to our attention that vegan raw chef Ani Phyo swept several categories like Amy Winehouse took Grammies at last year’s awards ceremony.

However, we neglected to inform you that one of our favorite raw vegan men, Jason Mraz, took home his vegetable statue as well. Mraz was voted the number one raw vegan musician!

Remember, if you’re writing to congratulate him, do so on poop paper only, please.

We took a good glance over the list to see if there was any other celebrity we left out and we think we’ve got it covered.

But just in case we don’t, view the list yourself and see who else was raw enough.

Bristol Palin, the daughter of the infamous former Vice Presidential candidate Sarah Palin, is one of the latest victims of PETA.

Well, depending on how you look at it, she may or may not be, as it looks as though they’ve given some cute, innocent gifts to her and her newborn, Tripp.

A few months ago, Sarah made a statement to someone in the media (media appearances always get her into trouble, just take a look) that she and husband Todd “never met an animal they didn’t like – to eat or shoot.”

This obviously rubbed PETA the wrong way and besides throwing snowballs at Sarah, they responded to the Palin predicament by sending daughter Bristol these “gifts.” You could call it a “PETA baby shower.”

Bristol’s late Christmas presents include a baby outfit that reads, “Gives Peas A Chance”, Ingrid Newkirk’s 50 Awesome Ways Kids Can Help Animals, and her latest One Can Make A Difference book as well.

Oh, and we can’t forget the nice letter recommending Bristol and Tripp stop eating the wolves her mother shoots from the sky and go vegetarian.

Some say PETA has gone too far and that Bristol is an innocent teenage girl who’s never publicly made statements similar to her mother and shouldn’t be targeted as such.

Then again, you could call it PETA just doing its job.

If you bleed Gatorade, there’s a chance you might be at tonight’s FedEx BCS National Championship Game of Florida against Oklahoma. Best of luck to ya!

Before the game, how about filling your belly with food from Sublime restaurant, located in Fort Lauderdale. The owner, Nanci Alexander, who also happens to be an animal rights activist, will serve up some delicious meat-free fine dining that’s perfect for some tailgate or after game grub.

Choose from tofu caviar, pizza with soy mozzarella cheese, or “Steak” sandwich made from Gardein protein substitute, among other items on the menu.

Her restaurant was on PETA’s top eight veggie establishments, so you know it’s got to be good. Plus, with celebrity visits from folks like Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, and Bob Barker, you know it’s star approved.

Chrissie Hynde has much to celebrate this New Year. She and her band The Pretenders have their first album out in six years, Break Up The Concrete, and are currently on tour.

Her vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, has been opened for over a year and doing quite well in her hometown in Akron, Ohio. It’s also been named one of the eight best vegetarian restaurants in the country by PETA.

The fantastic thing about Chrissie’s restaurant is it’s not located in a stereotypical region where you’d think veganism would thrive, like New York or L.A. But Chrissie has made it work and that’s great news to anyone living on the outskirts of the vegan food movement who thinks there’s no hope for their small or self described “backwards” town.

In fact, several Midwestern restaurants made the list, including two in Ohio and one in Chicago.

Check out the rest of the winners to see if your territory is covered. Are there any restaurants you think should have made the cut? Tell us about it!

Holly Won’t, The Oversneer, and Simon Scowl at Deceiver would have a ball with this one.

Remember Lake Bell, the actress we recently discovered was vegan? She talked about how she was in charge of vegan sweets during the holidays with her family and she went to Baby Cheeks, Sweetie Buns, Baby Cakes bakery in NY for all her vegan goodies?

We did some research in the archives and discovered she has a fish problem, or at least she had one last year at a party for her childhood friend Lyn Devon’s fashion show.

New York Mag caught up with her and asked her why the heck she was eating a salmon hors d’oeuvre if she was a vegan.

“It’s okay, I already came out about my fish-eating-ness to my closest vegan friend, Alicia Silverstone, and she already approves,” Bell said.

Okaaaaay.

Don’t know what the heck that means. Is Alicia Silverstone the vegan confession priest to whom all vegan sinners must go through? It’s hard to imagine Silverstone saying she would approve of such behavior, given the fact that she’s a huge public vegan, both getting naked herself and egging other people on to get naked for the cause.

The last thing we need is another Gwyneth Paltrow who’s “pretty much vegetarian,” who pretty much has confessed her turkey eatingness to everyone but Silverstone. Is Lake Bell full of bellshit? Chime in let us know what you think.

Singer Patrick Stump is for those who like submissive types, as he won’t even speak up to get a good vegetarian meal, settling for the mundane salad. Drummer Andy Hurley looks exciting with his tattoos, but truth be told, he’s just a non-eventful straight edge who likes to make up health drinks in his spare time. Blah! But still, which member of Fall Out Boy would you…

Meg Cabot created the novel series “The Princess Diaries,” from which Disney snatched up and made two hit movies. She recently announced she’s retiring the “Diaries,” and has written the last book of the set. 

When turning books into movies, there’s bound to be discrepancies between the movie and the book, especially when it comes to portraying the characters.

Cabot’s books told a story very similar to the movie: an awkward girl named Mia who suddenly had to deal with the life of royalty, boy troubles, and a highly opinionated best friend named Lilly Moscovitz.

However, Mia from the novel series was a vegetarian who had “slips,” occasionally. Although she’s an animal rights activist who’s passionate about the environment, in the 9th book she becomes disillusioned, stops caring, and starts chomping (on meat).

Ironically, you could say that Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia in the movie, also had vegetarian “slips,” here and there, going from vegetarian to eating meat to almost vegan.

He wanted more vegetables for the children and now it looks like his daughter will be helping to carry out his wish for the entire Washington D.C. area.

Sasha Obama, Barack’s youngest daughter, is attending Sidwell Friends School in D.C. where part of the children’s education is to teach them about helping those less fortunate.

One such program is making soup for Martha’s Table, which according to their website, is designed to “help at-risk children, youth, families and individuals in our community improve their lives by providing educational programs, food, clothing, and enrichment opportunities.”

Sasha will be bringing fresh veggies to school which will be used to make soup that will be delivered to Martha’s Table.

From the Sidwell Friends website:

Each Wednesday, children bring a vegetable from home as their contribution to the makings of a 50 lb. pot of soup. Classes take turns collecting and cutting the vegetables, which are then delivered to Martha’s Table by a parent volunteer. The children are reminded to bring their Wednesday vegetable by painting a magnetic tile to take home to place on their refrigerators.
