Vegetarian Star

Growing up, you may have read the famous Little Women book by Louisa May Alcott.

A documentary of the author, Louisa May Alcott: The Woman Behind Little Women, is airing tonight on PBS at 9PM EST in most areas, as part of the American Masters Series.

The film is based on a book with the same title by Harriet Reisen, which claims Alcott was raised vegetarian.

Movies usually don’t portray as accurately as the books. Will the American Masters film show an Alcott eating loads of meat during her lifetime?

Watch the clip for a sneak preview.

Eating Animals author Jonathan Safran Foer is vegetarian, but you won’t find him eating in vegetarian restaurants.

Instead, he chooses to patronize businesses that make non-meat options available, like several of his favorite spots in Park Slope, Brooklyn.

So where can you find Foer in between him writing drafts of his next bestseller?

Well, for one, Bonnie’s Grill has veggie burgers so good you’ll curse.

“Their veggie burger is f—king great! I remember what hamburgers were like, but, believe it or not, I would choose their veggie burger over a hamburger. I know that sounds just like what a vegetarian would say, but they are maddeningly good.”

Will there be a hoard of meat eaters flocking to Bonnie’s in the New Year and talking like sailors once they take a bite?

Every time a vegetarian celebrity opens its mouth, another deer dies.

At least that’s how Ted Nugent wants it.

The musician who’s made it clear in the past he’s not a friend of vegetarians or animal rights activists recently expressed his discontent over those who find fault with one of his favorite sports of hunting.

And warning: he’s not too rated G about it either.

“Pam Anderson… if you get the d**k out of your mouth for two minutes, you’re telling me I can’t eat venison? You don’t authorize venison?”

“My name is Ted Nugent and because of Pam Anderson… and because of Paul McCartney, all the members of PETA, whenever I hear the word animal or rights in the same paragraph, I’m killing an extra hundred of something this year.”

Nugent insists he doesn’t let any of his game go to waste.

“I’m not just killing them, I’m f**king slaughtering them and I’m going to gut them and skin them, quarter them and butcher them and feed them to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of America… That’s my goal in life.”

Paul McCartney may be the object of Nugent’s hatred this time, but last year he was willing to buy him a vegetarian meal.

After Paul received threats for agreeing to play in Tel Aviv, Nugent told the press, “It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and madmen, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu.”

It’s time to buy Pamela some tempeh to make up for that oh not so nice statement.

If you’re wondering what the top veggie stories of 2009 will be, have patience!

The big newsbreaker may come on December 31.

In the meantime, take a look at the top green stories of the decade provide by grist.org, which practically names Al Gore as a green savior of the decade.

“After a short, bearded, self-imposed exile, he made a simple decision: if climate change is the greatest danger to humanity, something he’d been discouraged from saying for most of his electoral career, then he would say so. He set about spreading the word in characteristic nerdy, earnest fashion, with a slide show, a patient explanation, and four gazillion frequent flier miles.”

What’s even greater than his Inconvenient Truths or big green balls, however, is the fact that good ol’ Al is going in the veg direction.

After being chided for not bringing up the effects of meat on the environment, Gore finally said it straight.

“It’s absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis – not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process,” Gore told ABC television.

“I’m not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,” he added.

Crossing the fingers Gore goes all the way in 2010!

Winter brings freezing temperatures and a hoard of women rushing to the stores to buy fur to keep warm.

Maybe that’s why PETA chose this time of year to name the Worst Dressed Celebrity, based on that star’s tendency to put on another critter’s hide before leaving home.

Catherine Zeta-Jones, Elizabeth Hurley and Rihanna are expected to find themselves on the list of nominees that readers will choose online.

The “loser” will be announced in February by vegetarian fashion designer Stella McCartney.

Actress Christina Ricci claims those embarrassing titles work.

“I never meant to hurt nor anger anyone with my insensitivity,” said Ricci after being nominated. “For what it is worth, I have received the message loud and clear and will not be wearing fur in the future. I apologise for my offensive actions.”

Wishing everyone on the list best of luck–in changing their attitudes and hearts.

Top Chef finalist Carla Hall was scared to death of making a vegetarian dish for the judges during the reality TV show competition, but thankfully, she’s being a little braver now that the heat isn’t so intense in the kitchen.

NPR gave Carla the challenge of cooking something using a seasonal vegetable and Carla chose cauliflower.

Unfortunately, Carla also chose to put chicken stock in the original recipe, but she says vegetarians can substitute either vegetable stock or almond milk.

Carla allowing substitutions in her soup explains her stance on following recipes.

“You just have to be present, and let the process be a little organic and not be so rigid with the recipe, because you have to feel it. For instance, if I’m doing this soup in season it’s going to taste totally differently than it would if it’s not in season. You have to honor the produce; maybe you have to add something else in it.”

You can listen to Carla talking to NPR while making her soup and grab the recipe for Cream Of Cauliflower Soup With Roasted Cauliflower Florets, Toasted Walnuts And Brown Butter at npr.org.

“Hide those vegan xmas cookies! I don’t want to even smell them!”

—-Hunter Burgan, in a recent Tweet.

Why on earth would you want to get rid of vegan cookies?

Cause most vegan desserts give vegheads a Pringles Potato Chip like syndrome–once you pop one in your mouth, it’s difficult to stop!
