Vegetarian Star

The ever so funny man of AFI, bassist Hunter Burgan, recently blogged a list a quotes by famous vegetarians.

Hunter decided to add his profound quote on vegetarianism:

“I’d never eat a horse.”

There you have it folks. This will be recorded in the history books with great short quotes by the likes of people like Muhammad Ali, The Pope, and Gandhi. Some other good revelations from people Hunter included:

“I have been following a vegan diet now since the 1980s, and find it not only healthier, but also much more attractive than the chunks of meat that were on my plate as a child.”
Neal Barnard M.D.

“If the whole world went vegan, there would be less war. How you eat determines your mood and your outlook on life.”
Alexandra Paul

Phish’s bass player and vocalist Mike Gordon Tweeted about his love of vegan carrot kugel.

Kugels are awesome traditional baked Jewish dishes that feature vegetables, fruit or other starches, and a thickening agent.

In an effort to get closer to the immortal status of rock stars, we decided to search for a recipe for vegan kugel, that, upon ingestion, would make us famed musicians and send millions of fan mail and driveling women to our doorstep.

We found a Vegan Potato and Carrot Kugel recipe that we’ll have to try in the near future.

If any of you have a different formula for vegan carrot kugel, please drop a comment and let everyone know where to find it.

The guys at hypebeast.com got to meet up with skateboarder Danny Garcia and decided to go out for some grub at an eating establishment called Shake ‘Em Buns (which was obviously created by someone with too much innuendo on the mind).

Shake ‘Em Buns, located in Hong Kong, has some pretty X-rated sounding burgers including Debbie Does Dallas, Cushin’ For Pushin’, Gang Bang…okay we’ll stop before Google Safe Search blocks us.

Danny, a vegetarian, chose the “Sissy Boy,” which is what Shake ‘Em Buns calls their vegetarian burger.

Sissy Boy? Really, Shake ‘Em Buns, you can do better than that.

Danny’s choice of a meatless patty puts no cholesterol in his system and less saturated fat than a regular burger, therefore lessening his changes of developing diabetes and other diseases that can contribute to impotence.

He’ll be the only “sissy” who can actually do Debbie Dallas if he wants.

Actor and environmentalist Ed Begley Jr. will be the Keynote speaker at the Carnegie Science Awards in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania this Friday.

Ed plans to tell everyone to get involved with science, as awareness of the discipline can help the environment tremendously.

“If we had a good scientific awareness … I think the environment would fare better,” Begley said, according to pittsburghlive.com.

He cited numerous activities he took up to save money as a young adult that inadvertently lessened his environmental impact, including going vegetarian, riding a bike, and recycling. Doing these activities, he claimed, can really help you “move up the ladder.”

“When you save money from that, as I did, then you can move up the ladder and maybe buy some attic insulation, double-pane windows or a rain barrel,” he said. “It took me 20 years to be able to afford solar panels.”

Go veg now and in the next 20 years you might be able to show off your flashy solar panels to your envious neighbors.

Actress Nia Vardalos, best known for hitting it big playing Toula Portokalos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, was a vegetarian for over a decade before “her family wore her down.”

Now it appears as if she’s returning to her veggie roots and has even told cheese she’s not going to a late night booty call with it anymore.

She recently told People about her secret to losing 40 pounds.

“I broke up with cheese. I always say like cheese keeps calling me and trying to get me to meet at a cheap motel but I’m really committed to just staying single for awhile.”

Although she said she did 50 different things to help her shed some of herself, giving up cheese was the big factor.

You go girl. And don’t go back to it. Cheese never loved and cared about you anyway.

So we never have enough posts for the guys. Vegan cosmetics, fashion, and girly stuff often dominates the site, but as of today dudes, no more complaining.

Feast your eyes on Ida Ljungqvist, the 50th Playmate of the Year, as well as the first African-European to take the honor.

Although the meat on her body is in all the right places (hey, don’t call us sexist, it’s for the guys), she doesn’t put any into her body.

“I’m a size zero. But I carry my weight in the lower body, so I exercise moderately and I’m a vegetarian,” she said, according to Foxnews.com. “I take Bonnie my Chihuahua hiking with me a lot and I do lots of walking. But I’ve never believed in pushing it too hard. It should never be a chore to exercise; you have to enjoy it or else don’t do it all.”

This little lady is also brilliant. She speaks three languages fluently-English, Swedish and Swahili-and has traveled with her Swedish father across the globe to work with UNICEF.

No, we don’t have her number. Please don’t email us for it.

Last week, this young lady went to Capitol Hill to ask Congress to get their act together and make sure vegetarian lunches are on the menu at public schools.

“Some of us don’t eat right,” says Wyntergrace Wiliams, daughter of Montel Williams. “Fast food, junk food-sometimes even our school lunches have too much fat and cholesterol.”

Now you can embed this video and make it spread faster than an Internet hoax to spread the news on getting everybody to sign the petition to give kids healthier school lunches in the classroom.

Because the only thing worse than a bad grade on a report card is mystery meat on your plate.
