“With more emissions, comes more responsiblity.”
—-Gerald Goode, The Goode Family father, telling Ubuntu about the responsibility of driving a car, which is creating a bigger carbon footprint. We’re sure this conversation was preceded by the talk on alcohol and driving and speeding.

The quote about driving was one of our favorite moments along with grandpa Goode saying Ubuntu deserved steak and strippers versus the vegan dinner prepared for him. Grandpa, how could you say that in front your grandson? There are terrible consequences to children who are exposed to the adult life of steak too soon.

What did you guys think of the Goodes? Funny? Frickin’ ridiculously offensive? A little bit in between?

Who Would You: Omar Epps Or Noah Wyle (The TV Doc Edition)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Polls/Surveys, Who Would You.

ER has closed its final hospital room curtain, but Noah Wyle’s presence on the set for years most certainly helped the show become an Emmy award winning hit. One less hospital show on the air leaves one less vegetarian actor who portrays a doctor, but have no fear, Omar Epps still graces the screen on House. Hospital cafeterias aren’t exactly known for their delicious food, so plan on getting your veggie burger or any other meal elsewhere. So between the two gentlemen, who would you rather do…

Those of you who follow the religious sect known as treehugger.com know Graham Hill is the smart, environment lovin’ chap who founded the website for all the latest green news and information.

Although Graham isn’t a complete vegetarian, he flexes and calls himself a “weekday vegetarian,”-saving the bacon for Sunday brunch.

Eating vegetarian at least during the week is just one of the ways Graham recommends going greener.

He also shops at his local farmers’ market and buys organic produce.

And don’t worry, you big city dwellers, who think because you’re living the fast paced life, you’re being too rough on the planet.

Graham thinks cities are greener because more people use public transportation or bike and apartments are smaller, so there’s less room to fill up with useless junk. Plus, there’s a plethora of organic shops to frequent on every corner.

“You can find some weird vegan bakery, if you want to,” Hill said.

Before you run off to locate that vegan bakery with weirdos, read the rest of Graham’s feature story at the observer.com.

PETA To Amitabh Bachchan: Go Veg To Go Green At IIFA Event!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Bollywood, Environment-Eco-Green.

Chandni Chowk To China UK Premiere In London

Amitabh Bachchan is a longtime vegetarian and PETA wants him to encourage others to do so by serving only vegetarian food at an India International Film Academy (IIFA) event in Macau, China next month.

After all, the theme for the event is “Go-Green,” and what environmentalist doesn’t know by now that meat isn’t environmentally friendly.

PETA India chief functionary Anuradha Sawhney sent a letter to Bachchan containing the following statement:

“We were thrilled to hear that this year’s IIFA Awards are going to have a ‘Go Green’ theme, and we commend you for helping to once again draw attention to the global climate crisis. On behalf of PETA India and all our members and supporters, we respectfully ask you to serve only green (vegetarian) food at the event.”

“By doing so, you will send a strong message that people can save the planet simply by changing their dietary habits.”

Do you know any environmentalists who really haven’t “gone green all the way” yet? Are they missing the connection between wasted land and energy in raising farm animals for human food consumption (not to mention other animal consumption)?

Get in the game and drop them a little note like the one sent to Bachchan! Some one’s gotta remind them that meat’s not green!

He’s not quite wearing the crown yet, but Russell Brand is currently in second place for the title of Mr. Twitter Universe. Given his bad boy history, this honor better not be something that can be rescinded at the drop of a scandal, or he’s in big trouble.

A Russell fan has compiled a list of reasons why you should vote for him, which includes his love for animals.

“Russell has been a vegetarian since his teens, is a doting and devoted pet owner to his beloved cat Morrissey, and has twice been named Europe’s Sexiest Vegetarian by PETA. He’s currently in the running for Sexiest Vegetarian Alive – in fact, while you’re at it, pop over and vote Russell Sexiest Vegetarian Alive, too.”

Of course, Russell also has his own troupe of strippers @BrandyStrippers, so you know he’s the best man for the job.

Matthew Fazzi Of Taking Back Sunday Needs VegOut iPhone App

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Business, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

D*CODED Launch Event Featuring Taking Back Sunday

Taking Back Sunday is about to release their newest album, New Again, on June 2nd.

Popwreckoning got a chance to chat with guitarist and back up vocalist Matthew Fazzi (shown on the right) before he jammed at a show in Kansas City.

Fazzi must work up an appetite during shows, because he was asking about checking out vegetarian restaurants afterwards.

PW: Well, you’ll have to be sure to check out the city after the show.
MF: Yeah! Do you have any suggestions?
PW: What do you like to do?
MF: I’m vegetarian, so if you know any vegetarian places that would be great. Parks, historical landmarks…

Of course, if Fazzi has an iphone (and like, OMG, who doesn’t?), he can install the VegOut application that lets you search for vegetarian and vegan restaurants and stores in any city or state.

VegOut was created by Champ Bennett, another musician and software designer on the side, after he found finding somewhere to eat in Europe a royal pain.

Musicians know best, Matthew. Take it from someone in the club and get VegOut already!

Update: Photo has been updated. Thanks guys.

the_goode_family_cast

The Goode Family premiers tonight on ABC at 9PM EST.

The Goodes are the impossibly and probably a tad bit annoying politically correct liberal family that go out of their way to retain that reputation. They’re all vegans, including the family dog, Che. Hint: Che is a vegan dog who cheats-on the neighborhood pets! They recycle and compost. They even attempt to adopt a child from Africa, but mistakenly get one from South Africa-who happens to be white.

Some vegan, eco-lovers out there might take offense to how the Goodes are portraying the lifestyle, but hey, if we can’t laugh at ourselves we’re in hotter water than global warming can produce.

The Goode Family was created by Mike Judge, the same guy who brought us Beavis and Butt-head and King of The Hill.

Chace Crawford Sexes Up Big Macs: How Unsexy!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 27th, 2009 in Actors, Food & Drink, Not So Vegetarian.

2009 CW Upfronts in NYCWe learned earlier that Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr partook in some serious hamburger whoredom after taking a decade vow of meat celibacy.

We were disappointed this ex-vegetarian was so delighted at tasting meat in 10 years that she described it as “orgasmic,” so it comes as an even bigger blow that another Gossip Girl star, Chace Crawford, has also recently expressed his love for a Big Mac.

In the June issue of InStyle magazine, Chace was quoted as saying, “There’s nothing sexier than a Big Mac. I don’t eat a lot of them, but it’s just a whole complete package.”

Just what is so sexy about grilled bloody flesh, cholesterol card carrying mayonnaise, and a slice of cheese manufactured from milk taken from a whored-out dairy cow that will ultimately get the ax once a younger, sexier heifer who can birth a calf and produce milk comes along?

If you hear the gossip as to why the cast is so darn carnivorous, let us know.
