Vegetarian Star

Carrie Underwood Self Magazine January 2010

Carrie Underwood is on the January 2010 cover of Self Magazine and inside she’s divulging some secrets about her favorite foods, like Quorn, the meat substitute that’s made from a fungus, but sure doesn’t taste like one!

“If I eat too much before a show, I just want to sit down. Too little, and I’m starving. So I eat something small, like Quorn, a tasty meat-free protein, and green beans.”

Carrie has lent her support to the Humane Society in the past and doesn’t spare words when it comes to people who don’t care and look after animals.

“I hate it when people don’t take care of their pets. It’s important to spay or neuter them.”

Will Carrie be the next vegetarian celebrity to replace Bob Barker and be the public face for controlling the pet population?

Representative Dennis Kucinich completed an interview with reddit.com and gave a deliciously surprising answer when asked, “What would you do if you could be dictator of the United States for a day?”

“Well, I think I would order everyone to have vegan chocolate chip brownies,” Kucinich said.

Ah, the torture!

Kucinich and his wife Elizabeth are both vegans, and constantly voice their support for the lifestyle, including lobbying for vegetarian lunches in schools.

Where were the Kucinichs’ when you were forced to eat cardboard sandwiches at lunch?

“I’ve been a vegan since 1995, and as a result I’ve had great health, tremendous energy, and mental clarity … I had Crohn’s disease as a kid, and a pretty severe case of it, but when I changed my diet my symptoms began to disappear.”

Watch the video and eat your vegan brownie already, before Dictator Kucinich punishes you!

Alanis Morissette has confessed to some serious kale addiction.

Maybe she and Kristen Bell should get together more often.

The singer who calls herself “90% vegan” said, “I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.”

That explains why one of her most recent parties was hooking up with vegetarian author Anna Thomas and digging her fingers through the fresh vegetable.

Alanis is currently training for the Biz Johnson marathon, which she says isn’t hurt at all by her vegan friendly diet.

“I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.”

Alanis is featured in the January 2010 issue of Runner’s World.

“I love animals, so obviously I’m for wearing cotton as opposed to fur, wool or leather.”

—Emily Deschanel, at a party sponsored by Vanity Fair and Cotton Incorporated which benefited the Humane Society of the United States.

Sounds like Emily shares the same taste in fashion as her vegan friendly little sister Zooey, who made an entire commercial for cotton love.

“When you look at a grocery bill, the most expensive part is usually meat. Vegetables are never going to be as expensive as meat. Part of the responsibility is not just the companies that sell the food, it’s up to consumers to make better food choices. The more that people demand better and organic food. The more economically viable it will be in the future.”

—The Conscious Cook chef Tal Ronnen, giving his thoughts on how families living on a budget can still eat veg.

Bethenny Frankel "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur" PETA Ad

Bethenny Frankel‘s long awaited “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur” PETA ad has finally arrived.

This is what every real housewife should be wearing.

Not long ago, Bethenny felt the need to cover up–with fur.

Then an encounter with some anti-fur protesters made her rethink her fashion decisions.

“Since then, I have really been against it. I’m cleaning out my closets–trim, everything.”

Is it time to clean out your own closet from all things cruel, including fur and leather?
