Vegetarian Star

Dr. Oz‘s fit, sexy and lovely wife Lisa recently appeared on The View with her husband, where she explained how she’s been a vegetarian since aged 15.

Dr. Oz gets shamed as Lisa “outs” him on the show, revealing how the daytime guru of health used to eat crap before meeting the woman of his life.

“I grew up with brown rice, whole grains, all organic. I’ve been vegetarian since I was 15.”

Sounds like Dr. Oz needs to invite his lady to the show more often for segments!

Joining the cast of Butter with Alicia Silverstone will be vegan actress Olivia Wilde.

The film is a political satire of the 2008 Democratic election, in which butter carving is the competition, instead of an election.

Here’s a synopsis from MTV, which includes the roles for Jennifer Garner and Ty Burrell:

“Jennifer is the leading lady Laura — the Hillary Clinton of this scenario who is poised to win the butter-carving competition. Her husband, played by Ty Burrell, is a term-limited butter carving champ who picks up a stripper mistress along the way. While that is developing, Laura finds her plans to win the competition thwarted by a young African American upstart, played by Yara Shahidi.”

Wilde will be playing the stripper who seduces the former butter carving champion.

Previous reports said the Silverstone would play the character of the stripper, but it is now known she will play the adoptive mother of the African American upstart butter carver.

Whether the producers will be using real butter, margarine or something completely inedible isn’t known, but let’s hope if it’s real, they source if from small local farms that treat their cows more kindly, as opposed to alleged conditions uncovered at a Land O’Lakes supplier, which included filthy conditions and downer cows not being treated by veterinarians.

Sirius XM Radio "Weird Medicine" with Dr. Steve

The debate over soy giving little and big boys girl parts will probably never end, due to the amount of prejudice against the real men who choose to eschew steak and opt for tempeh instead.

Dr. Steve, host of the Sirius XM radio program “Weird Medicine,” has taken a moment in Men’s Fitness to clear up the confusion as to whether a cup of soy milk a day keeps the testosterone away.

First, Dr. Steve wants you know that all men have breasts, just not big enough to look good in a Victoria’s Secret ad.

Because soy is rich in isoflavones, a chemical with estrogen like effects, some think it could stimulate breast growth in men.

After researching the keywords “soy and gynecomastia” in the National Institute of Health database, only a few articles of legitimate research actually show up, and the only serious case was that of a 60 year old man who drank 3/4 of a gallon of soy milk a day to get his hooters.

That’s 12 cups a day.

Once the doctors told him to knock that crazy shit off, he could no longer show off his bossom to his friends as it shrank tremendously.

“A 2004 Italian study of kids raised on soy protein formulas showed no gynecomastia, no early puberty, no changes in their bones and no other signs of screwed up hormones,” writes Dr. Steve.

In addition, some male children are raised on soy milk their entire lives and still have to get girlfriends to enjoy breasts.

So drink up and rest assured you’ll do not only your health, but the cows’ health a favor as well.

Temple Grandin, renowned scientist who’s been honored by animal rights activists for her design of a system that puts less stress on an animal before slaughter, is inviting all slaughterhouses to do what Paul McCartney suggests–have glass walls.

Technically, Grandin wants these facilities to have live camera feeds so the public can see what goes on in them.

During a recent visit to Fresno State University, Grandin said the meat industry needs “to do a better job of communicating with the public about their animal handling practices.”

Not a vegetarian herself, Grandin even suggests it would behoove the companies to do so, as this could provide transparency to the public.

Would this mean no more covert visits to the factory by animal rights groups to expose unethical and possibly illegal practices?

Big Money had this to say about the matter:

“Of course, the kinds of companies that have been exposed by undercover cell-phone videos of suffering, abused cows aren’t the kinds that are interested in transparency. And the feeds don’t exactly sound like something to munch popcorn to. Still, employing live feeds seems like it might be a good way for responsible companies to differentiate themselves.”

No, live feeds aren’t the kind of video you eat popcorn to or “popcorn chicken” from KFC either.

But they would sure make a viral set of clips on YouTube.

And these would make an excellent medium for activists in teaching people how their food is brought to their plate–whether they want to be educated or not.

Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry

The top 10 hottest male chefs have been profiled at Black Voices, and vegan chef Bryant Terry is hotter than a dish of haberno and serrano peppers drizzled with Tabasco sauce.

The food activist and author of Vegan Soul Kitchen takes traditional southern recipes like butter milk biscuits, removes the dairy, supplements pork and other meats with plant based protein like seitan and rounds it off with known southern vegetable players like seasoned greens.

“Based in Northern California, this “eco chef” and cookbook author is dedicated to promoting a “just and sustainable food system.” A friend of the environment and a pro in the kitchen? Perfect.”

Other hot chefs are the list are “Take Home Chef” Curtis Stone, Season 2 “Top Chef” contestant Sam Talbot and the British hottie but the mouth is potty Gordon Ramsay.

You’ll have to scroll down through the interview with “Top Chef Masters” Marcus Samuelsson before you can click through the slideshow.

Kelly Osbourne isn’t currently a vegetarian, but she has considered the source of where her meat comes from and is trying to eat less of it.

In her weekly Closer column, Kelly says watching the film Food Inc. has made her disgusted by the way most meat is obtained.

“I’ve become increasingly aware of how disgusting the American meat industry can be – and it’s seriously put me off eating meat … I’ve heard that cows are fed through a hole in their stomach to make them get fatter quicker and I can’t believe some chicken producers inject them with water first so they’re heavier!”

Kelly’s got a good point. While many suppliers in places like Europe are sourcing meat more humanely, such as slaughtering with Controlled Atmosphere Killing, major American restaurants like McDonald’s have failed to make this switch.

“I don’t have a problem with people eating meat, but I am careful to only buy organic now,” Kelly added.

Kelly attended the launch of Sir Paul McCartney‘s Meat Free Monday campaign, so she is at least supportive of less meat in everyone’s, American or not, diet.

Pamela Anderson may be facing a legal battle over the name of her eco friendly clothing line.

The line created by both she and Richie Rich, Muse, was later changed to A*Muse, a move Maggy London International claims was “a disingenuous effort to disguise their infringing activities.”

Executives at Maggy London filed a lawsuit on Monday claiming they trademarked the name “Muse” in 2002.

Maggy London claims they contacted Pamela and asked her to drop the name, but she refused.

Well, technically she’s put an “A” and a “*” in front of it, so it’s not “Muse” anymore so what’s the complaint?

Oh, yeah. Here it is.

From Contact Music:

“The suit seeks an order barring the designing duo from using any “colorable imitation” of the trademark and forcing them to hand over all profits and remaining clothing, for “impoundment or destruction”, according to the New York Post.”
