Vegetarian Star

Singer Prince was spotted at San Francisco’s Farmer Brown restaurant eating vegetable jambalaya.

The celebrity stalker, or, uh, the person who spotted him posted a picture of the text that was sent to someone else as the event took place.

“Actually…vegan. He is eatin veggie jambalaya.”

“Wow, that’s so tight. Jealous right now!”

Here’s the picture for the entire conversation.

If Prince got everything according to the menu, the veggie jambalaya comes with portobello mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower and baby carrots.

According to its website, Farmer Brown is a soul food restaurant, with an emphasis in supporting local, African-American farmers that produce organic and sustainable foods.

Apparently, it’s also where all the sexy MFs dine.

“To the extent we push meat a little bit to the side and move vegetables to the center of our diet, we’re also going to be a lot healthier.”

–Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma and In Defense of Food, in an article from CNN on Meatless Mondays.

Vegan Soul Kitchen by Bryant Terry

When Bryant Terry, author of Vegan Soul Kitchen and co-author of Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen, with Anna Lappe became vegetarian, he was one of the most militant people in the world.

“It caused so much stress and conflict in my home,” he said at the Changing Courses: Race, Class, Sustainability and Food lecture at Arizona State University.

He went so far as to bury a whole chicken in his mother’s front yard so she couldn’t cook it.

Wow.

It’s recommended you eat “foods from the ground” to be healthy, but you can never make chicken grow from it.

Terry said that when cooking with oils, put spices like garlic in the oil before heating it.

And don’t expect to substitute tofu for every meat recipe–sometimes you have to get creative.

Leona Lewis "In Style"

Leona Lewis is the cover girl for the June 2010 issue of UK In Style.

Leona told the magazine, “I’m very fiery and very passionate,” adding that she has debated several times with Simon Cowell.

The vegetarian was probably very passionate when she convinced Simon to do Meatless Mondays.

More Leona can be found inside UK In Style, which went on sale today.

Female First has written an article on the “Things You Didn’t Know” about Miley Cyrus.

Ok, so after you admit you don’t care to know, one of the “secrets” is that Miley is “vegetarian, doesn’t eat anything green and her favourite colours are green, pink and purple.”

Green. Of course. That’s why she won’t eat anything that color.

Maybe FF has the latest update, cause last time we checked, Miley said she had tried being vegetarian, but couldn’t get enough of the Double Doubles and fries.

Maybe the recent change is from playing her vegetarian character, Ronnie, in The Last Song.

Then again, maybe it was that Hannah Montana personality that didn’t eat meat.

Last week’s 10 Things I Hate About You featured Kat Stratford winning one for the team by getting her school to offer Meatless Mondays.

However, the student council member she teamed up with to get it passed didn’t tell her he was going to set up a pepperoni pizza stand on the same day declaring war on the vegetarian movement.

Ah, politics.

There is real progress happening in schools, however, to make vegetarian meals the norm, and the South Florida Miami-Dade school district has offered these for a long time.

Recently, the district added three new options to its menu: faux chicken nuggets, veggie burgers and hummus platters.

And no, kids aren’t pitching tents on the football field offering cold cuts to counteract this.

“We’re offering these items on the menu, and not seeing trays and trays go into the garbage can,” said Penny Parham to the Miami Herald, who oversees food services in the district.

If passed, the Healthy School Meals Act, H.R. 4870, introduced by representative Jared Polis, will offer school districts across the nation to test the introduction of vegetarian foods and non dairy beverages into their menus over the next couple of years.
