Vegetarian Star

Australian model and actress Annalise Braakensiek says health is her number one priority and claims to be a “passionate vegetarian cook.”

She’s started her own organic food delivery service, featuring her recipes, called Love Lunch.

But a closer look at Annalise’s personal culinary creations reveals her favorite meals contain fish, fish and more fish.

“My favourite breakfast is tahini and tomato with fresh rocket from the garden, on organic spelt toast,” Annalise said.

Sounds okay. But here comes the seafood.

“Then for lunch I eat seasonally, so it depends on what’s in. Generally it’s a huge salad, tuna or tofu and Asian greens, or brown rice with vegies, copious amounts of organic green vegies. Plenty of fish. I don’t eat meat. I don’t eat wheat and I don’t eat dairy.”

No meat or dairy?

Annalise could almost be vegan if it weren’t for the flipper.

Not only is eating fish bad for the environment, as many species are on the overfished list, but as the old saying goes, vegetarians aren’t suppose to eat “anything with a face.”

As one commenter on the story at smh.com said:

“How can somebody eat “plenty of fish” and then claim they don’t eat meat? Fish are animals and their flesh is meat. They’re not vegetables!”

Congratulations on Annalise’s food delivery service.

Hopefully, she’ll give more love to lunches that are completely vegetarian.

Olympic skater Tai Babilonia recently skated in Rockefeller Ice Skating Rink in New York City to support a PETA “I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur,” campaign. Not only does is this woman an incredible beauty and athlete, she’s smart and compassionate to know that wearing fur makes a triple lutz look like a triple klutz. The rink may be cool, but fur farms and killing an animal for fashion is colder than ice. Great job, Tai! Check out other photos below.

Kristen Bell Viva Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of Viva Magazine and has an online interview with the publication.

Kristen has been a vegetarian since age 11, and has toyed with veganism at some points in her life.

Growing up, she would only eat if her dog was sitting by her side.

Could that be why she couldn’t force herself to eat animals?

“[I] never liked the look, taste or smell of meat,” Kristen said. “My mom tried to disguise it but I just was not having any of it. When I discovered what vegetarianism was, I claimed to be one and my mom was very supportive.”

Kristen recognizes that going vegetarian doesn’t mean going on a cheese and mayo sandwich diet. You gotta work to eat healthy sometimes!

“A lot of vegetarians just eat bread and pasta and don’t realize that iron, zinc and magnesium need to be replaced. I take supplements but I also find that I have a very well- balanced diet.”

And this chick isn’t afraid of real food. She eats dessert three times a day!

“Yes, even after breakfast! I make chocolate-covered strawberries a lot because it’s a good halfway point. You’re getting fruit, which is great, but you’re also smothering them in chocolate.”

A recent episode of Family Guy has Brian Griffin‘s interest in animal rights peak.

After an evening of drinking, Brian hits another dog, but no one cares.

In disgust, Brian starts the Quahog Animal Equal Rights League, with the intention of teaming up with a bigger animal rights organization in the future.

While explaining his plans to Stewie, Brian points to a dog and says, “Do you think he wants to be tied to that chair, waiting for his owner to get ice cream? Hell no!”

If only all dogs could talk like Brian.

Watch the clip above for the full episode to learn why the dog at the ice cream shop was tied up to begin with.

If you ever get tired of hearing people describe what they think the stereotypical vegetarian is, take heart in knowing best selling author Jonathan Safran Foer has a great counter argument.

Vegetarianism is about caring, Jonathan insists.

And regardless of race, gender, geographic location or religious affiliation, most people really do care.

From expressnightout.com:

EXPRESS: And those words are so caught up in issues of identity and lifestyle. If you’re a vegetarian, it means you a certain type of person…

FOER: But caring about it makes you every sort of person. I’m not saying that as an exaggeration. Ninety-six percent of Americans think animals deserve legal protection, which is a radical statistic if you think about it. That means if you don’t care, you are way on the margins of society. It’s not Berkeley, it’s Middle America. It’s very Christian, very Judeo-Christian, and Muslim to worry about dominion, to worry about stewardship. Just mainstream values. If at my readings I could have had a mini factory farm up there with me, people would call the cops. People would leave. Nobody is okay with it in my experience, and I wish the conversation could reflect that instead of asking if you think it’s right or wrong to eat meat, which is actually a totally unimportant question. The answer to that question doesn’t really matter, given the world we live in. I don’t even know my answer to that question.

So, if most people care, how do we get more of them to go veg?

The gossip sites must have a shoe fetish this month.

Not long ago, a rumor was going around the web that Stella McCartney and Leona Lewis were collaborating to create a vegan shoe line.

The story smelled worse than sweaty feet and proved to be false.

Now, the word is that Morrissey and Stella are collaborating to create a leather free shoe.

“I’m working with Morrissey on a line of leather-free shoes which I’m really excited about,” McCartney told Mail Online. “We are still in the early stages, but the shoes could be launched next year.”

One would think if Morrissey were involved in this project, Stella would be designing men’s shoes, which would make vegan men around the world rejoice.

But judging from the track record of previous shoe stories from the tabloids…

We’ll believe it when we see it.

In the meantime, check out some athletic, casual and formal male vegan shoes available at alternativeoutfitters.com.

Women’s Day recently featured a wedding dress wrapped Anna Paquin on the cover with rumored details about her big day with True Blood co-star Stephen Moyer.

A source told the mag Anna and Stephen are living a frugal life in Venice Beach, LA that includes lots of healthy veggie food that you might expect to find in California.

“It’s all very hippie with vegan food, jogging, cycling and surfing,” the source said.

Anna is a rumored vegetarian, so hopefully the life is suiting the soon to be bride well.

Wonder if she almost lost her veggie lunch after taking a whiff of the meat tree on the True Blood set?

Alicia Silverstone was a guest speaker at the 2009 Boston Book Festival.

As expected, Alicia discussed her debut diet and cookbook, The Kind Diet.

Some might wonder how a vegan diet might change their life.

Alicia had a lot to say about what being vegan “doesn’t” do for you.

“You don’t wake up exhausted. And you don’t need coffee to get through the day. And you don’t keep getting sick and needing anti-biotics. And after a meal, you don’t feel like you needs Tums…”
