Vegetarian Star

Aimee Teegarden calls herself a vegetarian “heading towards vegan.”

Although Mother Nature Network didn’t give more details about Teegarden’s vegan journey (is there a set date, ingredients to eliminate at certain steps?), one could make the assumption that the Friday Night Lights actress is making small changes in her life so she can one day live comfortably and healthy as a vegan versus making drastic changes like focusing on eliminating products instead of adding new ones.

Or maybe she’s having second thoughts about what goes on in the dairy industry, but still hasn’t found the right cheese substitute to satisfy those insane moo cravings.

If you’re an “almost vegan,” what non-vegan products are you hoping to give up?

Karl Lagerfeld is digging the fake fur scene!

The designer recently praised fake fur used in the Channel fall 2010 runway show.

Has Lagerfeld experienced a change in heart?

As Allure discusses, Lagerfeld was quoted by The Telegraph saying discussing the ethics of fur in fashion was “childish.”

But the beauty of faux has caught Lagerfeld’s attention and if he’s not doing it for ethics, at least he’s appreciating the aesthetic value of using material from something other than an animal.

Plus, the new fake fur is now soft and cuddly, according to Lagerfeld.

“Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing—not one piece,” said Lagerfeld. “That was the idea. The material is beautiful and new in a way, because it was not that perfect before. It looked vaguely ok, but if you touched it, it was stiff and harsh. Now, it’s not like that at all anymore.”

On another positive note, Allure says Lagerfeld also doesn’t eat meat.

Bob Harper is throwing down the gauntlet.

The Biggest Loser coach is asking his Twitter followers to be as vegan as they possibly can be.

“Your Challenge today is to go the next 24 hours, starting now eliminating ALL animal products. Good for your heart AND the environment!!”

There are so many great tasting foods that aren’t meat, dairy or poultry.

Plus, there’s plenty of faux substitutes for those who like their beef and cheese.

The 24 hour challenge can easily be extended to 24 days, 24 weeks, 24 months and forever!

Salma Hayek has teamed up with Juice Generation’s Eric Helms to offer a cleansing system complete with vegan foods, Cooler Cleanse.

Hayek has been a fan of Helm’s juices and had him frequently ship them to her, including before her wedding.

The two have finally made their shared loved for juice a business and offer juices in the flavors of green juice, grapefruit mint, red juice with beets and apples, young coconut water, and nut milk sweetened with date.

The juices are made in NYC and cleanses are 3-5 days.

For those that want to nibble, raw vegan foods are available and include a cashew cheese ravioli and sunflower falafel.

The meals are prepared by Matteo Silverman, the chef behind the underground supper club 4 Course Vegan in Williamsburg.
