Keith Floyd Turned Down George Harrison Vegetarian Bouillon Idea

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 in Chefs, Food & Drink.

Keith_Floyd

British celebrity chef Keith Floyd died this week after a bout with cancer.

Floyd had star chef status long before Gordon Ramsay or Jamie Oliver came around.

Years ago Floyd attended a party where vegetarian rock and roller George Harrison was present and Harrison wanted to get Floyd’s advice on the menu for an upcoming tour.

“Every rock’n’roller going was there,” Floyd said. “George Harrison opened the door.”

“And the first thing he asked me was what I thought about vegetarian stock cubes. Paul Young wanted a menu for his tour. ‘Leave it out, mate’.”

So chef didn’t appreciate a good non chicken or non beef bouillon.

Doesn’t mean you don’t have to.

Rapunzel makes a great collection of vegan bouillons-regular with sea salt, no salt added, and herb flavored.

Cause a vegetable rice medley just ain’t the same with chicken stock.

Jon Gosselin Dogs Going Back To Breeder: Kate Gosselin Blamed

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 in Animal Issues, Reality TV.

Jon Gosselin adjusts himself while out in his yard

While we’re on the subject of breed dogs, it breaks our heart to learn that Jon Gosselin is sending his German Shepherd dogs back to the breeder, blaming it on the fact that Kate Gosselin won’t take care of them when he’s not around.

Cause Jon never has time to care for his dogs while partying  it up with bikini girls at the pool.

There are two things wrong with this picture, the obvious being Nala and Shoka came from a breeder to begin with.

But for douchebag, Jon to just shirk his pet owner responsibilities and blame it on the ex?

We’re just not buying it.

What’s worse, Jon made a statement earlier to People.com that indicated the dogs suffered more punishment than having to look at Jon grab his crotch all day long.

“Those kids beat them up, climb on them, pull their tails, bite at them, drag them around and everything you can imagine not to do to an animal, they’ve done.”

Jon later said the statement was taken out of context.

Uh-huh.

Suppose we’ll get a statement later saying it was in the contract for the dogs to return to the breeder.

Heidi Montag, Spencer Pratt Parents Of Breed Dog-Maltipoo

Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag push her Playboy Magazine spread at LAX airport in Los Angeles, CA

The Speidis have expanded.

Don’t worry, they haven’t procreated yet, so there’s still time to convince them not too.

Spencer Pratt gave wife Heidi Montag a puppy for her 23rd birthday.

“I’m so excited today is my birthday,” Montag said. “Thank you God for every moment you have given me and blessing me with my wonderful husband!”

We’re sure the 9 week old maltipoo is cute as can be, but do you really find those things at the shelter?

The cross between a Malteese and a Poodle presents a nice market for a breeder, but how many animals are waiting in cages to be adopted while the puppy factory continues its operations.

Here’s a directory where you can find animal shelters in your state.

We’re crossing our fingers Heidi’s puppy was at least a rescue of a designer dog abandoned.

After that, we’re crossing our fingers the puppy never has to watch Heidi’s Miss Universe performance.

Patrick Swayze Death: Can Diet Prevent Pancreas Cancer?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, September 16th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Research + Science.

Patrick Swayze Remembered

The so called “summer of death” is getting sadder and sadder as we’ve lost another great celebrity, Patrick Swayze.

Swayze died from pancreatic cancer, but didn’t go without a good fight, even participating in the fundraiser, Stand Up 2 Cancer.

There’s no one way to prevent any disease, but some studies have linked meat fat to pancreatic cancer and a plant based diet to preventing it.

Here are some results from recent studies discussed at hattiesburgamerican.com:

  • According to a new study, fat from red meat and dairy products significantly increases the risk of pancreatic cancer.
  • Researchers analyzed the diets of more than 525,000 participants to determine whether there is an association between dietary fat and pancreatic cancer.
  • The study found no association between plant-food fat and pancreatic cancer.
  • Fruits, vegetables and other low-fat vegetarian foods could actually prevent pancreatic cancer, according to other studies.
  • One study found that consuming foods rich in flavonoids – apples, grapefruit, broccoli and berries – may decrease pancreatic cancer risk by up to 59 percent.

We hope research continues to advance one day discover how to prevent and cure this deadly disease.

Our thoughts go out to Patrick’s family and friends.

Katy Perry Presented By SoundsofBuzz.com And Coca Cola

We can’t stop posting about Audrey Kitching cause she can’t stop posting all her daily adventures in veg land.

The latest is her Facebook status, which describes how she feels on the juice.

“Raw veggie juice is so hard to drink. BUT detox is such a good feeling.. ugh.”

Whether your raw juice goes down smoothly or not, if you’re going to juice, you gotta have the right equipment.

Which is great that some folks decided to list the best of the best in juicers at consumersearch.com.

Yep, it’s nice to sit back and let someone else do the hard work.

There are juicers for citrus, vegetables, and even wheatgrass in case the cat is into raw juice too.

Ha. Just kidding wheatgrass juice lovers.

With prices from $20 to $300, there’s a juicer that won’t rub your budget raw.

The evening at Tryst in Toronto went well, the event being a fundraiser for the animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Much Music VJ Sarah Taylor was there at the door checking people for cruel clothing like Pamela Anderson stripped potential passengers in the Cruelty Doesn’t Fly ad.

“I’m vegan. This is a cause I really believe in,” Taylor said. “I’m all about cruelty-free products.”

She was asked if she was trying to be the next Pamela Anderson.

“Looking down at my chest, I’d say no,” she replied.

Ah, boobs.

They’re not important.

What matters is that you never possess any chicken breasts.

Go Sarah!
