Vegetarian Star

Method Man and Redman have recorded a new album, Blackout! Vol. 2, and their latest rhymes have some veggie rhythms to them.

We would never promote the use of drugs, but feel it’s necessary to emphasize that although Method raps about following Amy Winehouse’s lead and rejecting rehab, at least his Method Woman is off meat.

From track 12, Dis Iz 4 All My Smokers:

They tried to make me go to rehab, no
Tell my P.O. that I ain’t trying to let the weed bag go
You can catch me in the whip pushing the seats back slow, my chick’s a vegan, that mean she off the meat rack, though.

If you’re interested in reading more about Blackout! Vol. 2, you’ll have to do so here on this mobile phone. Either we are late in the game learning about this type of blogging or someone at Vibe’s really creative.

Method Man is a member of the veg group Wu-Tang Clan.

It might not have been easy being vegetarian growing up if mom and dad were meat and potatoes kind of parents.

Luckily, for race car driver Leilani Munter, she didn’t have that problem to worry about as mom wore the pants along with her apron when it came to meals and one day decided to make the whole fam go veg.

From the May/June issue of Vegetarian Times:

“It was my mom’s idea. One day she came home and announced that the whole house was going veg. It was fine with me, because when I realized hamburgers came from cows, I was horrified.”

Way to go mom!

Wow! Several big celebrities were spotted eating at vegan friendly A Voltre Sante restaurant recently, including David Duchovny, Matthew McConaughey, and Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Rumor has it David used to be a vegan and his now separated from wife Tea Leoni was too. But we’re quite surprised and pleased to learn Matthew and the Olsen twins made their way there as well.

Now, vegan friendly doesn’t mean completely vegan. But to hear the spokesperson for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association and the most infamous fur wearing twins at least stopping by to dine with the granola lovin’ seitan worshippers is a breath of fresh air.

Show your pride, everybody. Be veg and be proud cause it’s National Vegetarian Week!

National Vegetarian Week is an annual event designed to raise awareness of the benefits of a meat free diet.

So take your tofu sandwiches to work and waive it your co-workers faces. Start conversations about rennet and cheese. If you’re really brave, wear some lettuce wraps and walk around town. Er, maybe not. It’s getting hot outside and lettuce wilts…then shrinks. Don’t want to spend the week in jail, now.

For more information about National Vegetarian Week, visit the Vegetarian Society at vegsoc.org.

A super trio of journalist Maria Shriver, celebrity chef Guy Fieri, and celebrity chef Alice Waters will be getting down and dirty together tomorrow morning on the California state Capitol lawn in Sacramento.

No need to get overly excited, you pervs, they’re just planting a vegetable garden!

The WE Garden in Capitol Park is not only the first vegetable garden to be planted at the state Capitol, but the only one of its kind to be planted at a U.S. statehouse.

Looks like California’s First Lady is following the footsteps of another First Lady, Michelle Obama, who planted an organic vegetable garden on the White House South lawn.

The event is open to the public and will feature free recipes. For more information, visit sacbee.com.

We’ve covered so much veggie athlete news lately, we’re on a roll and should head to Vegas!

Minnesota Twins relief pitcher Pat Neshek recently spoke with the Minneapolis Star Tribune where he revealed he’s “willing to take the heat” for his veganism.

“I get that all the time,” Neshek said. “Like Gardy [manager Ron Gardenhire], he’ll make fun of me and stick a hot dog in my face and say, “You want to eat this?” A lot of guys are curious. Most of the time, there’s a lot of guys that make fun of you.”

No problem for Neshek, as he knows he’s putting the good stuff down that ultimately will make his game better.

Besides, who cares about the guys? He’s got a woman at home to answer to.

When he first met his wife, he was heading for a McDonald’s and the future Mrs. Neshek said, “I can’t believe you eat that stuff!” This comment, along with reading The China Study, which links a meat based diet to diseases, prompted Neshek to work on his steakouts as much as his strikeouts.

Five years later, the Mrs. Neshek is still helping Pat with his veg game.

“My wife, she’s an excellent cook, so that’s the main reason I can pull this off,” he said.

Visit startribune.com to learn what Pat’s typical breakfast consists of and read the entire interview.
