Vegetarian Star

The White House chef is already spilling the beans on what the Obamas like to eat!

According to ETOnline, White House chief chef Cristeta Comerford said Michelle Obama can’t get enough of creamed spinach, but daughters Sasha and Malia aren’t as thrilled and don’t always like eating vegetables.

When referring to a green dish, Mrs. Obama will tell Comerford, “Sasha still didn’t like it … and sometimes [the] kids are like, ‘it’s green.'”

No, not even a weekly homework assignment of bringing vegetables to school is enough for Sasha to eat hers.

Comerford and other White House chefs are still working to please the Obama daughters’ palates.

Apparently, it’s going to take more effort than once thought to get more veggies for the children.

Natalie Portman attended the Oscars ceremony looking ethical both inside and out.

The vegan actress wore a baby pink strapless dress, vegan shoes, and “ethical diamonds.”

Ethical or non-conflict diamonds, unlike “blood diamonds” aren’t mined in war zones where the profits go to fund violent activities against people during civil wars in Africa.

Although various certification programs exist to ensure diamonds are conflict-free, they aren’t foolproof and some have suggested that as much as 100 million US dollars worth of diamonds are traded illegally for arms each year.

Some companies, like Brilliant Earth, provide diamonds mined in conflict-free areas, such as Canada.

Olivia Wilde, star of Fox’s TV series House, made an appearance recently on the Ellen DeGeneres show and announced she’s a full vegan!

We had teased Olivia in the past for being “mostly vegetarian” but still eating fish.

She first met Ellen at a fundraiser for Prop 2, a California measure which passed last year to ensure certain farm animals can move freely.

She discussed how Moby was performing at the Prop 2 fundraiser when a huge spider came aiming for Moby’s bald head. 

Of course, in the interest of animals, the spider wasn’t killed-it was picked up by Jared Leto who announced at the microphone, “We’re here for the animals. That means every animal.”

Wilde’s husband is Italian, who’s father was a prince, so that technically makes her a princess! Or according to Ellen, a “pancake princess.”

Olivia’s never lost an eating contest and tells the story of how she ate 33 pancakes in 20 minutes.

She challenges Ellen to a future vegan eating contest, but Ellen suggests Portia could be a better competitor.

Uh-oh. Ellen’s revealed a behind closed doors secret!

“There were no vegetarian restaurants in Akron. Plus, I wanted to do something to help destroy the mall culture of downtown.”
—-Chrissie Hynde, singer and musician of The Pretenders, on why she opened a vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Guess Chrissie got tired of looking at all the corporate fast food chain restaurants that lined the streets of Akron. But hey, Chrissie, not all malls are bad. Some have veg offering Subway Restaurants, for instance.

Hynde recently made news after she participated in a protest against McDonald’s as part of the McCruelty campaign launched against the company due to how it treats its chickens before and during slaughter.

She has said she would like to remain on earth until all McDonald’s have burned to the ground.

She’ll have to work a little harder if she’s trying to demolish the malls at the same time.

Heather Mills has been racking up the frequent flier miles taking trips from London to the U.S. and back.

According to the UK Daily Mail, Heather is interested in building a vegan food factory in the Bronx to help bring jobs to the impoverished area in which she is promoting her vegan charity with Hunts Point Alliance.

Heather has already donated a million dollars worth of vegan food and given vegan cooking lessons to families in the area.

We’ve been hearing lots of rumors on Heather’s vegan food factory from where it might be located to the brand name of the products to what ingredients she’ll be using.

Nothing is definite yet, but one thing’s for sure: we’re tired of waiting!

VegOut

Navigating your way through a city you’ve never visited is bad enough without having to worry about finding a restaurant that serves good vegetarian grub!

That has changed. iPhone users can now locate veg restaurants with the VegOut application, which pulls restaurant information based on city and state.

The application was created by Brooklyn musician and free-lance software developer Champ Bennett, who personally asked Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, who’s been known to waver from being a vegan to vegetarian to pescetarian, for his opinion on the application. He did get some response from Mr. Jobs.

“I couldn’t think of a better candidate to beta test the app”, Bennett said, according to a press release received via email by the blogger of Vegtalk.

“I wrote to him, and days later he actually wrote back asking when he could try it out! I responded asking for his UUID so I could build him a beta application that he could run on his iPhone. The next day he announced his hiatus from Apple and I never heard back again. Oh, well.”

The idea came to him after having a hard time finding a good place to eat while touring in Europe in mid-2008.

As of today, version 1.1 of the app is on Apple’s AppStore or click on this link to go straight to the application. For now, VegOut will only locate vegetarian and vegan restaurants, but there are plans in the future to add a function allowing users to download recipes.
