Vegetarian Star

Chrissie Hynde never spares words when voicing her opinions, even at the risk of offending and hurting others. She’s keeping up her reputation with a recent interview with Scotland and Sunday.

The Pretenders’ frontwoman insists she would rather give her own life than eat an animal’s because of the guilt she would carry if she ate one.

“I’m always surprised when I meet meat eaters,” Chrissie said. “I just think why on earth do you do that? You could put a gun to my head and say, ‘If you want to live you have to eat steak’, and I’d say, ‘Time to go’. I don’t want that kind of blood on my soul. I’m ready to go right now to be honest. I’m not saying I want to die, but I’ve got no further material goals. Anyway, if you haven’t finished your business here you’ll come back to do it. I like to think mine is finished, thanks very much.”

Heather Mills is offering some of her vegan meals she serves at her V Bites restaurant in frozen entrees to eat at home.

But there’s a catch.

Your doorstep must be within mainland UK.

There’s no 30 minutes or less guarantee either.

Green gossip site Ecorazzi.com speculated this might be Heather’s frozen line of vegan meals she’s been talking about for some time. But other sources says those are expected to be named Mighty Meatless Meals in Minutes, so perhaps Heather’s just making some of her restaurant selections available for customers to heat up at home, with an additional frozen line to come.

Keeping with traditional British food, V Bites online offers Breaded Fish Style Fingers.

There’s also vegan versions of  hotdogs, quarter pounder burgers, as well as vegan Greek and smoked style cheese.

Ingredients for all products are simple, mainly consisting of soya or texturized vegetable protein and sometimes tofu in the case of the cheeses. A few spices here and there complete the meals that are high in protein, free from GMOs, and completely animal product and by-product free.

To view all V Bites foods currently offered online, visit the V Bites online store.

Paul McCartney is in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a concert tonight and the thecoast.ca has listed some suggested places the vegetarian can grab a bite to eat before his show.

We already know Paul won’t be patronizing the donair establishments, but he might find these restaurants can buy his love.

Heartwood
These guys have several dishes named after Paul, like the “Macca-roni.” Plus, there’s the Lonely Hearts Club Sandwich with smoked tofu and soy mayonnaise. Somebody who created that menu is a fan.

The Wooden Monkey
Made with fresh organic and macrobiotic ingredients, The Wooden Monkey is a good place for mixed eaters-offering dozens of vegetarian options like the veggie burger, Japanese dumplings with tofu, and chickpea salad in addition to the meat selections.

Read the entire list of places Paul can eat at, including where he can get a vegan breakfast tomorrow morning.

Vegan singer and musician Jason Mraz has recently revealed on his blog what he consumes for the most important meal of the day.

“The secret to a great day is how you start your day. And for the past year and a half I’ve avoided eating a heavy traditional breakfast. Instead, I merrily jumpstart my day with the ever-so-awesome Vitamineral Green from Healthforce Nutritionals”

“One heaping scoop of this stuff in the morning provides an insane amount of goodness for the body. The powdered greens (from dehydrated plants and algae among other things) taken by itself is enough to live on. It goes straight to the blood and straight to the brain and stays with you all day. I stir mine every morning with ONE-Brand Coconut Water, but I prefer to blend it also with some Flax Oil, Freelife Goji Juice, Avocados, Maca Spice (the Peruvian Viagra) and a few dates. I even do Cayenne pepper on mornings that I want something savory. The flavor options are unlimited and there’s no way you can overdose on the stuff.”

“Think about it for a second, would you rather start your day with something fattening and/or sugary that ends up around your waist or deep in your ass, or would you rather feel light and energized with a glow that people can recognize? Remember, you are what you eat.”

Healtforce Nutritionals is a 100% gluten-free product company that is probably anointing Jason’s feet with oil now that they’ve gotten such a big plug.

So we gave you John Salley’s PSA from the Takepart.com series where celebrities discuss the food safety issues featured in Robert Kenner’s Food Inc.

Take Part 2.

Vegetarian Alyssa Milano also has a clip where she urges consumers to practice food safety measures and “feed their minds” by becoming educated on food borne illnesses.

Of course, it’s hard to “know your food,” when it comes from dozens of different sources, starting with the animal.

“One hamburger contains meat from 50-100 cattle,” says Alyssa.

Fifty to 100 cattle? Yeah, pretty hard to learn and remember all their names. Safer to just eat a veggie burger.

The word is that American Idol season 2 winner Ruben Studdard is back on the veg wagon, after gossip that he had fallen off.

According to Ruben, he’s feeling better than ever and in great health, despite not having a 32 inch waistline.

“I am a vegetarian now and I think that’s the one thing that saved me from being over the top. I also work out every day and have a trainer on the road with me. I saw pictures of myself at the beginning of ‘Ain’t Misbehavin’ and Ruben Studdard CD and I look like a whole other person now. I’m down like five or six pants sizes. I’ve been a vegetarian for about two and a half years now. I probably miss fried chicken the most. I feel better. You can’t pay for the way you feel after you start. I’m not saying that people who eat meat don’t feel great because I’m sure they do, but it works for me. I don’t want people that sell meat to be knocking on my door saying, ‘You’re still fat. You ain’t lost that much weight.'”

Hey, who said going veg was about going thin?

Are you a “pleasantly plump” or “thick” veg who still has low cholesterol and a kick ass resting heart rate? Did dropping the hot dog bring you health benefits, even if it didn’t bring you six pack abs or a size 2 dress?

As Alanis Morissette would say, “Isn’t It Ironic?”

Just a day after we posed the question of whether or not vegetarians and vegans should make more efforts stay away from substances, vegan singer Chrissie Hynde announces she’s giving up alcohol. Again.

“I last drank two weeks ago and I’ve put the cork in the bottle – I’m never drinking again. I’ve said it a few hundred times before, but I mean it this time.”

The decision came after a night of several drinks and wild times.

Apparently Chrissie did some Katy Perry thing with a girl and it surprised her.

“I think I tried to snog a girl. I woke up and thought, ‘I can’t be doing stuff like that!'”
