Paul McCartney Chooses DoNUT Over DoNAIR

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers, Recipes.

Paul McCartney had just finished up a chat with radio host Bobby Mac of Q104 in Halifax, Nova Scotia when Bobby recommended Paul check out some of the local food, including the donairs.

Donairs? Huh?

Donairs are delicacies prevalent on the Canadian East Coast. Donairs are to Halifax what Philly Cheesesteak is to Philadelphia.

There’s just one problem. Donairs are full of spicy beef.

“It’s got a lot of meat? Well, I’m not going to eat it then,” Paul said. “Save me a doNUT.”

Of course every optimistic vegetarian and vegan always tries their hand at plantifying any carnivorous dish and donairs shouldn’t be the exception.

Here’s a recipe for vegan donairs using Texturized Vegetable Protein.

Cause donuts really aren’t good substitutes for meals, you know?

Naomi Campbell Plans To Look Ugly In Fur Campaign

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, July 7th, 2009 in Fur, Models, Not So Vegetarian.

No Comments

Photographed here in what seems like second skin for her, model Naomi Campbell has announced plans to star in a fur campaign for designer Dennis Basso.

Although Noami once had principles and starred in a “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” campaign for PETA, she tossed those faster than a clothing switch at a photo shoot and criticized the group for its tactics.

“When PETA started targeting (Vogue editor) Anna Wintour and (designer) Karl Lagerfield and putting dead animals on their plate, I felt that they went too far and I thought, I didn’t want to be a part of this campaign anymore.”

She added, “I do like wearing fur and I still do.”

Well, now.

Naomi isn’t winning some over at monsterandcritics.com, where commenters are giving their two cents.

“She has brought all the negative feelings about her on herself with her disgusting actions.”

“This woman Naomi Campbell may be beautiful on the outside but inside she is very very ugly. In the past she was part of an anti-fur campaign but obviously for her it was only skin deep! Money rules and her compassion for anybody but herself is obvious. Fur only looks good on the true owner: the poor animal that was abused and tortured for a stupid coat!”

Susie Feldman Can’t Eat Meat Or Not Recycle

Susie Feldman, along with husband Corey Feldman, was interviewed by theGreenGirls.com where she shared their secrets for greening both their home and work.

The Two Coreys reality TV star likens recycling to staying vegetarian by stating that because of what she knows about environmental issues, she can’t possibly look the other way.

“I almost feel I can’t throw trash away like I used to,” she says. “I feel guilty. I’m a vegetarian and I feel the same way. I could never just eat meat because of what I know. I can’t just throw away my bottles and cans in the trashcan because of what I know.”
