Vegetarian Star

As part of the Eat Well Thanksgiving series, the New York Times has featured vegetarian recipes from Slow Food and locavore Queen Alice Waters.

The Times has included a few recipes from Waters’ cookbook, The Art of Simple Food.

“Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday,” Waters said. “I always spend it with friends, and vegetarian or not, everyone feels comfortable at the table. I always think less is more and prefer simple side dishes.”

Alice isn’t kidding about simplicity.

The Roasted Butternut Squash, for example, only has 3 ingredients.

Woody Harrelson has a reputation for making people walk the vegan walk while filming movies.

And just as Woody got some cast members of Zombieland to eat veg on the set, he also convinced his co-star Ben Foster to give up meat and dairy on the set of The Messenger.

Foster told WENN:

“He walks the walk… He did drag me, begrudgingly, to several vegan restaurants, and I did enjoy them very much. I felt like I had more energy and wasn’t as foggy after eating, let’s say, a really killer steak.”

We assume he was appreciative of this cultural eating expansion, given the fact he gave Woody a big kiss in this photo.

“But he’s not evangelical about it. He lives by his routine… If someone’s interested, he has an encyclopedic knowledge on the subject and, if we talked about foods, he’ll share a point of view, but he’s not looking for converts.”

Unfortunately, Foster didn’t quite get The Messenger Woody was trying to give him and isn’t ready to give up meat yet.

“I like a healthy dose of blood in my diet,” Foster added.

Eww. How about a healthy dose of e. coli as well?

Eva Mendes recently teamed up with PETA to launch a new anti fur campaign in Los Angeles.

Eva once bared her own fur in an ad for the animal rights organization and said she’d be interested in doing a threesome anti-fur ad with Morrissey and Jennifer Aniston.

We’re still waiting for that one to come out.

In the meantime, take a look at Eva’s new PSA against fur.

“I didn’t know how animals were killed for fur,” Eva says. “And I even wore fur once myself. But when I learned how cruel the fur industry is and that there were no laws protecting these animals, I swore that I’d never wear it again.”

Max Records, the 12 year old actor who plays the ruler of his fantasy forest world in Where The Wild Things Are is a proud vegetarian.

He’s so good at playing this role, he even led a protest to get more vegetarian food options on his school lunch menu.

BTW, he was only eight years old when this protest happened.

Makes you feel lazy for not learning how to explain the difference between Silken and Chinese tofu before you were 21.

Could Max be the next person to lobby for changes to the Child Nutrition Act this year?

Starpulse has never failed to give us great slideshows of veg celebrities, like their Sexiest Female Vegetarian Slide Show.

Recently, the site did a show on celebrities who practice the vegan lifestyle.

Sisters Emily and Zooey Deschanel, novice cookbook author Alicia Silverstone, and K.D. Lang, who once compared eating meat to cannibalism, are included along with 12 other celebrities.

“If you knew how meat was made, you’d probably lose your lunch,” Lang once said.

To view the other 13 celebrities and learn why the vegan lifestyle works for them, visit starpulse.com.

There’s nothing worse than finding out your favorite snack isn’t all that vegan or vegetarian because the company has changed the recipe.

Heather Mills was less than pleased after discovering Walkers Crisps added dried milk to its salt and vinegar chips.

During a recent Tweet, Heather said:

“Just got off the train, most disappointed as Walkers salt and vinegar crisps have now added dried milk as an ingredient, yet they want to reduce their carbon footprint.”

“Never mind, eliminate lactose intolerant nibblers as well [as] vegans, does anyone know anyone at Walkers????”

Right on, Heather.

It’s always interesting to learn that companies put such non veg ingredients in seemingly vegetarian items.

Like beef broth in vegetable soup.

C’mon, now.

Do we really need to add animal ingredients to something so pure, delicious and healthy?

When it comes to veg food, manufacturers should follow the KISS policy–Keep It Simple Stupid.

Jonathan Safran Foer "Eating Animals" Interview

Jonathan Safran Foer was the guest of honor at this year’s Farm Sanctuary Celebration for Turkeys.

Jonathan read some parts from his latest book, Eating Animals, and took the time to talk to green gossip website Ecorazzi.

Here are a few thoughts Jonathan gave to Ecorazzi:

On Farm Sanctuary:
Farm Sanctuary was the first place I went when I did my research for this book. I had a really wonderful day. In many ways it established a tone for the rest of my research, which was that these issues all depend on how you tell them—how you present them. It’s not the case that the world needs new values, it just needs a new story—a story that more accurately reflects what’s going on in the world and more directly connects it to who we already are, not who we want to be, just who we already are.

On what famous person he’d like to see go veg this Thanksgiving:
I don’t know if I think of it in quite those terms. Like I was saying, there’s something that seems dichotomist about that—turkey or no turkey. Look, someone like Glenn Beck could not have a turkey and that’s fine, but what I would so strongly prefer is that he had a week-long series about animal agriculture in America. I have no interest in prying a turkey from his hands. Frankly, he could do so much more good in the world then his individual choice.

You learn to crawl before you walk and the latest tabloid news is that Leona Lewis will be collaborating with another vegetarian designer to launch her fashion line before starting one of her own.

According to The Daily Mirror, Leona and Stella McCartney were seen at a charity event together.

“Leona and Stella get on like a house on fire. They met at the recent Children In Need charity show at London’s Royal Albert Hall.”

“They are both vegetarians, don’t wear leather and are huge animal lovers. The line would be very animal friendly.”

Of course, if we had a dollar for every time a British tabloid printed a story that stretched the truth a little…

Judging from the sources, it looks as if Leona and Stella were just having a good chat.

Another source told the media Leona said:

“I’m on a mission. I’d love to promote a line of non-leather bags and shoes that are affordable. I think more needs to be available and not so expensive.”

“There’s so much I want to do. I’ve always wanted to have my own fashion line, and that’s something I want to focus on next year.”

Whether or not Leona and Stella are actually doing a fashion line together is questionable.

But based on Leona’s history of goal driven success and love for animals, we’re certain she’ll be at least starting her own.
