Vegetarian Star

Daryl Hannah and Ginnifer Goodwin are both showing some serious love for turkeys this Thanksgiving.

Ginnifer is the star of Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey ad and says she fell in love with a turkey named Magnolia on the sanctuary grounds.

Daryl will be spending her Thanksgiving with turkeys at the Animal Acres Sanctuary this year, enjoying a vegan feast among her fair feathered friends.

Between the two turkey lovers, who would you rather…

Mark Bittman, the vegan until dinner flexitarian advocate, recently discovered joy in creating Ma Po Tofu without the pork.

He described his experience in the New York Times:

“First I started a batch of the mixed grains. Then I slow-cooked about 20 of the peppercorns in oil (I was too lazy to grind them, another alternative), with three dried chiles. I removed them when the oil was fragrant (no one wants to bite on a peppercorn). Into that oil, I stirred about a quarter cup of the bean paste, which I realized for the first time is a cousin of miso.”

“I tasted the tofu thing, and added both soy sauce and salt. I scooped some grains in the dish – thanks to the black and brown rice and black sesame seeds they looked vaguely like pork (as it happened; no planning there, but I’m not lying either) – and topped it with the tofu mix. And the thing was so good I made it again two days later.”

Sounds like Mark learned being vegan at dinner’s not so bad either.

If you’re looking to attempt vegan ma po tofu, try this recipe any time of day.

Shayne Lamas recently celebrated her 24th birthday at Katsuya restaurant with actor dad Lorenzo Lamas and the fam.

Shayne won the 12th season of The Bachelor, but she and Matt Grant remain only “friends” now.

Such a shame.

If that’s real fur Shayne’s wearing, she might have a problem finding a new man because everybody knows real men dig ladies who fake it.

There’s no better way to let a guy know you’re that sweet, caring wife and motherly type than by refusing to wear an animal’s hide in the name of fashion.

Of course if Shayne’s wearing faux fur, we can relax and Leave It To The Lamas to set a good example of how to make a fashion statement.

What do you think?

Is Shayne faking it? Or is she wearing the real thing?

How does Michelle Obama keep her locks looking so sleek and shiny?

The First Lady has revealed she uses products under the Straight Finish line by Paul Labrecque.

What’s cool about this is that Labrecque has signed a pledge not to test on animals.

Not only is the Mrs. Obama fur free, even her coif is compassionate as well.

And Michelle’s stylist responsible for shaping her lovely bob, Yusef Williams, is a Labrecque hairstylist.

Ginnifer Goodwin has confirmed her Thanksgiving meal this year will be a Tofurky.

No surprise, considering she’s the spokesperson for Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey program.

About her recent visit to the Watkins Glen, New York sanctuary, Ginnifer said, “I grew fairly attached to a turkey named Magnolia. And there’s a badass goat who likes to play good-natured butting-heads games with humans. I dug her.’’

Every veg needs a badass goat when trying to explain to the most bullheaded meat eater why humans aren’t necessarily designed to eat animals.

Don’t forget you can have your own badass turkey for only $25 through the Farm Sanctuary Adopt-A-Turkey program.

Stella McCartney was one of 11 women named Glamour Woman of the Year this week.

Stella received the award for both her clothing enterprise and her work as a vegetarian and animal activist.

“I’ve never really paused,” she told Glamour. “If I had time to stop and think about what I was doing, I might have run for the hills!”

Glamour cites Stella as refusing to use leather and fur in her designs long before green and ethical became chic.

Other women of the year include Dr. Maya Angelou, Dr. Jane Aronson of Worldwide Orphans Foundation; journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee held captive by North Korea and released; Marissa Mayer of Google; the One Million Signatures Campaign that calls for an end to gender inequality in Iran; comedian Amy Poehler; Susan Rice, the first female African American U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations; singer Rihanna; California First Lady Maria Shriver and tennis athlete Serena Williams.

How do you plan to spend Thanksgiving?

Tortured at a relative’s house eating side dishes because they always fail to accommodate you?

Making your own tofu turkey for the first time?

Daryl Hannah plans to spend the day with a few turkeys, and we don’t mean foolish people either.

She’ll be at Animal Acres Sanctuary in Acton, California.

“They do an Adopt a Turkey day — rather than slaughter a turkey you adopt a turkey and feed it, and they have a nice, big vegan dinner too.”

Animal Acres is home to chickens, cows, pigs and all sorts of critters, but did you know they can also pronounce you husband and wife (or husband and husband or wife and wife).

That’s right, there’s no need for Vegas, because you can get married at Animal Acres and receive the assistance of their staff for set up and clean up, recommendation for vegan caterers and even a sanctuary tour.

If you choose the goat to be the best man, they cannot mediate family disputes.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that makes us nervous because Gwyneth Paltrow is probably refining her turkey patty recipes in her otherwise pretty much vegetarian household.

However, Gwyneth is reportedly learning about the effects of the food we eat and the environment, so maybe she will rethink her decision to celebrate with birds that are usually factory farmed and killed in the most painful manner.

How is Gwyneth becoming educated?

Through porn.

From her website, Goop.com (the “SEE” section if you’re into following her ridiculous Goopy plan):

“For comic relief, Green Porno on Sundance Channel is now in its third season of deadpan puppet shows by Isabella Rossellini. I’ve learned a lot more than I want to about reproduction in the animal and insect kingdoms. This season, the third so far, has an especially eco-friendly and equally hilarious bent, showing, in the simplest of terms, where the fish we eat come from and the effect mass fishing has on the environment.”

If you’ve ever wondered how creatures get it on, Isabella gives you all the sexy details, dressing up in costume to reenact the “act.”

Why rent a movie in the adult section when you stay at home with yourself and Isabella?

As Gwyneth stated, Season 3 touches on farmed ocean life and overfishing.

Here’s a link to Isabella’s video on the Anchovy.

Anchovies are on the Marine Conservation Society Fish to Avoid list, so try an extra veggie topping on your pizza next time, pescatarians.
