Vegetarian Star

As you know by now, Natalie Portman recently went vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s new book, Eating Animals.

Nat was interviewed at the Gotham International Film Awards when she was asked how on earth she survives without her ice cream.

“There’s still Rice Dream and soy milk ice cream and occasionally if you can find ethically produced dairy, you can have it,” Natalie said.

How does a vegan get their ice cream fix?

Ha!

That’s like asking a veggie how she gets her protein.

Self proclaimed environmentalists who still eat meat are criticized for their diet’s impact on the earth.

And a celebrity who claims to live green while owning seven private jets and flies their favorite jelly from Italy to Australia has some explaining to do.

The Times Online has featured an article on the top celebrity green hypocrites, but two stars were listed as the exception to the rule–vegetarians Woody Harrelson and Ed Begley Jr.

“Ed Begley Jr from St Elsewhere and Best in Show became a vegan in 1970, bought one of the first electric cars, and has lived for years in a self-sufficient house that uses not just solar and wind energy but a toaster powered by a stationary bicycle.”

“The famous neo-hippie Woody Harrelson lives in a sustainable community in Hawaii, grows most of his food, uses only solar power, wears hemp clothes, eschews animal products, and fuels his car with biodiesel.”

Not surprising that two veggies were spared from being blacklisted in the green hypocrisy database.

Any smart environmentalist knows that meat’s not green and meat and dairy production emits more greenhouse gases than all forms of transportation combined.

Read the article at the Times Online to learn about John Travolta‘s five private jets, Barack Obama flying a chef across the country just to make pizza (hello, Dominoes?) and other celebrity green hypocrite examples.

Tamara Ecclestone for PETA

Some seriously hot chicks once agreed to pose with Tamara Ecclestone for PETA’s campaign to end foie gras production  in The Naked Truth: Foie Gras Is A Recipe For Torture.

A huge victory for geese occurred recently when Selfridges dropped foie gras from its shelves.

But the practice of force feeding the birds until their livers swell up to 10 times the natural size to produce the delicacy unfortunately hasn’t been dropped from other supermarkets and restaurants.

Tamara has taken her clothes off in the name of animals for other campaigns, posing for an anti-fur campaign, wearing nothing but a checkered flag, referencing her father Bernie Ecclestone‘s Formula 1 Racing Company.
