Vegetarian Star

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake grabbed lunch at vegetarian restaurant The Naam in Vancouver, Canada recently.

With all the rumors of their on/off relationship, at least we know they’re together enough to enjoy a good meatless meal.

The Naam is one of the most famous vegetarian restaurants in North America and has been serving veggie since the 60s.

Located in the Kitsilano district, The Naam is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

With both a breakfast and lunch/dinner menu, The Naam keeps Vancouver’s vegetarian food loving residents full with favorites such as the The Breakfast Dragon Bowl, pancakes, granola, veggie burgers, noodles, and deep fried tofu.

The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone’s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today Alicia gives advice for those that think they’ll “slip” here and there because they’re addicted to hamburgers.

“Look, my own journey also included a time when I was an on-again- off again vegetarian, so I understand that these things don’t happen overnight. I believe that the most important thing you can offer someone is information that will allow them to get to where they need to be. In The Kind Diet, there are different entry points, so if you want to flirt with a healthier lifestyle you can do so without pressure–simply by taking in some new information and opening yourself up to better, more nutritious, and yummier food. See how that feels and go from there. For someone else, the right place to start may be a more challenging, full-on life-changing entry point. Regardless, every step in this direction can ultimately have a huge impact on your health and that of our planet. It’s important for people to know that anyone can do this. And if you fall off, get back on. Nobody’s perfect.”

And it all adds up. If everyone ate vegetarian for one day, we’d save 1.5 billion pounds of crops otherwise fed to livestock, enough to feed the state of New Mexico for more than a year, according to planetsave.com.

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Several vegan restaurants provided goodies, including Angelica Kitchen, Ayurveda Cafe, Candle 79 & Candle Cafe, Counter,  4 Course Vegan, Chef Laura Dardi, Live Jolly Foods, Franchia, Fran Costigan, Luxurious Vegan Desserts, Green Bean Cafe, Chef Yoli Ouiya, Payard Patisserie, The Power of Food, Rama Sushi, Sacred Chow, Slice the Perfect Food and Stogo.

Slice, the Perfect Food made their pizza topped with vegan Daiya cheese.

From the blog:

“Everyone absolutely LOVED our vegan pizzas with Daiya vegan cheese (thanks Bob and Julia for the help!) so the night was a success!”

Daiya vegan cheese is available in select food service establishments as well as  vegetarian food shops online.

Arch Enemy front woman Angela Gossow loves animals, but won’t keep one for a pet.

“I love all animals in the wilderness,” Gossow said. “This is why I am a vegetarian. I don’t like pets though. They should all be outside where they belong.”

It’s never a good idea to go putting a chimpanzee in your apartment, but how can opening your home to a shelter cat or dog be bad?

“Eating meat is cruel,” Gossow added, citing more reasons for becoming vegetarian. “In the year 2009, no creature needs to be slaughtered anymore. We got plenty of foods to supplement for meat. It is also a big environmental problem — the mass production of cattle.”

Brennan LaBrie

Brennan LaBrie is a journalist set to cover the 2012 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Did we mention he’s only 10 years old?

The prodigy is one of several reporters nationwide for “Time For Kids” and we think this youngin’ is already making great investigative choices for his diet.

“I love to eat; I’m a vegetarian who eats fish,” he said.

Brennan didn’t give his reasons for eating vegetarian to the penisuladailynews, but we’re hoping this little reporter expands his portfolio one day, becomes the next male Jane Velez-Mitchell, and spotlights food, environment, nutrition, and animal welfare issues.

Always great when a LOL cat chooses vegetarian, but is this really the way to introduce one to vegetables?
