Vegetarian Star

Poor Guy Fieri is so repressed from his parents forcing him to eat a vegetarian, macrobiotic diet as a child that now he’s projecting his desires onto all vegetarians.

“I can have bacon on anything,” Fieri said. “I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like bacon unless they’re a vegetarian. And I think even vegetarians, quietly, inside, wish they could.”

Speak for yourself Guy.

Any vegetarian knows they can get their faux pork on with imitation bacon like Lightlife Smart Bacon or Tempeh Bacon from the same company.

What’s worse, he’s trying to insult vegetables by making bacon one of them.

“Could bacon be the other vegetable?” Fieri asked. “The other white vegetable?”

“I like bacon on a stick, I like bacon in the morning. I’ve seen bacon ice cream.”

That’s more than enough bacon to make us turn off The Food Network channel for a month.

Nicole Lapin

Journalist Nicole Lapin, anchor for CNN.com Live, has been a proud vegan for six years and a vegetarian for 13 years.

When asked by green gossip site ecorazzi.com what the most rewarding part of going VEG was, Nicole answered, “vegan cookies.”

Oh, yeah.

There’s no sweeter product on the market than one that spares the lives of dairy cows that will eventually be sent to slaughter or that “gets rid of” baby male chicks that will never lay eggs.

A few favorite vegan cookies on our rewards list including Uncle Eddies, Nana’s (which serves up sweetness for the gluten-free folks), and Alternative Baking Company.

Check them out and request them at your local natural foods store.

Montreal Canadienes hockey player Georges Laraque has recorded his official vegetarian PSA.

Laraque isn’t new to vegetarianism, though, having practiced the diet for awhile before going vegan in June.

He’s also been involved in protests.

“Out on the ice, things get pretty rough. But it’s nothing compared to what animals in factory farming slaughterhouses go through,” Laraque says.

So nice to see more male athletes give the holler to veggies.

Alicia Silverstone was at the 2009 New York City Food and Wine Festival on Saturday to demonstrate cooking vegan recipes from her vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet, which is set for release by Rodale Publishing on October 13 2009.

Alicia chose to cook a fried seitan pasta dish, Caesar salad, and cheesecake-all made without animal ingredients.

Throughout the demonstration, she referred to items as “thingys” and “yummy” and “yucky.”

Two assistants (who hopefully were “rewarded” with treats afterwards) helped Alicia as she showed the dishes in various moments of preparation and took questions from the audience.

Can’t wait to buy the book and make some of those yummy thingys.

Jason Mraz is set to give his gratitude concert tomorrow  October 11 in San Diego, a chance to thank his fans by selling tickets for as little as $1 and spotlight several local charities.

Jason’s tour, the Gratitude Cafe tour, is named after one of his favorite vegan restaurants, but there’s more to the story.

“On the menu they had a `gratitude bowl,’ a food item where you didn’t know what you would get and you could pay 50 cents, $50 or whatever you wanted,” Mraz said. “It was a way to practice generosity and humility, and get a big, hearty bowl of food.”

Mraz’s concert tomorrow was created based on the same theme of giving.

“So, I thought this would be a great way to end the tour and have a ‘gratitude bowl’ (for tickets), where people can pay nothing or as much as they want. People can come out to the venue early with their families and, if they want, check out the local charities we’re working with.”

As expected, the show at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre tomorrow is already sold out.

A night of vegan food, fashion and animal rights will take place in Toronto on Thursday October 22.

The party begins with a vegan dinner at the Ultra nightclub at 5 PM, INK Entertainment’s Feed Your Soul, which benefits the animal rights group, People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA)

The dinner will feature vegan dishes by Chef Chris Zielinksi and be hosted by Pamela Anderson and PETA’s senior vice president Dan Matthews, along with designer Richie Rich.

After the dinner, Rich will showcase his fashion label with Pamela Anderson, A*Muse, at the This is London nightclub.

As PETA’s number one pin up girl, it’s no surprise Pamela sought the opportunity to benefit the animal rights organization during the tour to promote the eco friendly clothing line, which consists of hoodies and zip ups, casual dresses, and beachwear.

Pamela’s tour will take place in major cities in North America, Asia, and Europe.

Tickets to the PETA benefit dinner are $100 and can be purchased by calling Ultra at 416.263.0330.
