Vegetarian Star

Cornelia Guest has created her own line of vegan cookies.

The actress, author and socialite debuted these in a goodies bag given to attendees at a recent event for the New York Humane Society.

Guest hopes to sell the cookies, made with vegan chocolate and coconut oil, to bakeries, retailers and airports.

And she is really excited about the airline outlet.

“I really want my cookies to be on planes,” Guest said, according to the Wall Street Journal. “People should be able to have a healthy snack in the air.”

The packaging for the cookies reads, “No animals were hurt while making these cookies…I just have a bruises!”

The chocolate chip cookie is complete but Guest is currently trying to perfect another version–oatmeal raisin.

More information about the cookies can be obtained from the website, which currently exists in two different versions, but say the same thing, so that area of the business must still be in development as well.

Either way, CorneliasCookies or CorneliaGuestCookies will get you to the vegan cookie official you need.

Gwyneth Paltrow packs her kids’ lunch boxes with plenty of vegetarian sushi and almond butter and jelly sandwiches.

This was revealed in the latest edition of Goop, the actress’ online newsletter.

According to Gwyneth, veggie sushi is, “A great way to use leftover cooked rice and sneak some extra vegetables into your kid’s diet—not to mention a great way to get rid of those extra soy sauce packages that always seem to accumulate in the kitchen drawer.”

No kidding.

How many times have you thrown away those dozens of soy sauce packages, along with the two dozen more salt and pepper condiments that have hardened since your last visit from Chinese take out?

Be eco-friendly and save money by using them before purchasing similar condiments from the grocery.

Gwyneth’s recipe uses asparagus wrapped inside sheets of Nori and brown rice, but adds you can substitute any vegetable you’d like, including carrots, cucumbers or mushrooms.

Nori makes a great substitute for bread or tortilla wraps and is rich in Iodine and Vitamins A and C.

The signature hand gesture was created by the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s Tails for Whales campaign.

Although it may be a little late to change the menu, PETA is asking that the White House Correspondents Dinner tomorrow be vegetarian.

In a letter written to executive director Julie Whiston, PETA’s executive vice president Tracy Reiman says, “Asking your members and guests to carpool and drive hybrids is a great start, but the benefits of these measures are largely canceled out by the beef, fish, and dairy products on your menu. As you may know, a 2006 United Nations report called raising animals for food “one of the top two or three most significant contributors to the most serious environmental problems, at every scale from local to global.” A major report by the University of Chicago found that adopting a vegan diet has a greater impact in the fight against climate change than switching to a hybrid car.”

The letter then goes on to describe the conditions animals raised for food endure before and during slaughter.

“Chickens and turkeys have their throats cut while they’re still conscious, piglets have their tails and testicles cut off without being given any painkillers, fish suffocate or are cut open while they’re still alive on the decks of fishing boats, and mother cows have their calves taken away almost immediately after birth so that the milk meant for the calves can be sold.”

The planned menu for the event can be found here.

Kevin Eubanks announced he’s resigning from his 18 year job as a musician for Jay Leno‘s The Tonight Show, but could fans see him on the screen again soon?

Hollywood News reports Eubanks has been approached to do a reality TV show where he’s preparing meals with other celebrities.

Sounds great, considering Eubanks is a longtime vegetarian who could make dishes consisting of couscous, whole grain pasta and tempeh popular among prime time viewers, given his popularity.

Eubanks recorded a PSA for the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine where he promoted going vegetarian and eating dishes like “grilled portabello mushrooms over pasta” as a way stay healthy and fit.

Woody Harrelson and his wife Laura Louie have written to Congress, asking them to support H.R. 4870, a bill that would incorporate more vegetarian lunches and non dairy beverages in school menus that is otherwise known as the Healthy School Meals Act.

The longtime vegetarians wrote, “As parents, we ask you to support HR 4870, the Healthy School Meals Act of 2010. We know from watching our own children grow up that eating habits children develop early on stick with them for life. All too often, young people are offered processed meats and cheese and other greasy, high-fat, high-cholesterol foods.”

“The Healthy School Meals Act will help children develop better eating habits, provide healthful plant-based options that naturally contain no cholesterol, are low in saturated fat and high in fibre, enabling schools to reach high nutrition standards easily. The legislation gives schools the incentive and ability to address the health problems that are harming our children and overburdening our health systems.”

The bill was introduced by representative Jared Polis, who lost a significant amount of weight after making changes to his diet and has expressed concern for the childhood obesity epidemic.

You know you’re finally a vegan when you no longer cheat and lick the spoon when making cookie dough with dairy.

Or when you don’t lick the spoon after making tuna fish sandwich.

That’s what Davina Reeves, Miss New York USA, was accustomed to before she made the switch.

Now she still makes her boyfriend’s tuna sandwich, but he’s the only one of the duo that eats Charlie.

Reeves made the decision to change her diet after suffering from several health issues and skin flare ups, according to IEatGrass.

Reeves hooked up with a vegan chef who suggested she meet with a nutritionist who taught her to combine complex carbs with plant based protein and non dairy calcium.

“Playing around with new restaurants or cooking new recipes. It’s kinda fun to think food of a beautiful gift. I think, “What can I find?” said Reeves.

Reeves will make an appearance at a free workshop on Holistic Living at the New York Open Center on May 1 at 7:30 PM to share her stories of health and healing.

Vanessa Williams was surprised to find out there were so many harmful ingredients in bath and beauty products.

Celebrity Baby Scoop quoted her as saying, “I’ve been a vegetarian and a devotee of holistic medicine for years. But nothing prepared me for the… harmful toxic chemicals that are in our cosmetics and shampoos… I was trying to get rid of everything in my house that had sodium lauryl sulfates, parabens, and other chemicals.”

You’ve made the decision to stop eating or eat less meat and are finally weening yourself off dairy.

You buy organic produce, nothing white goes in your stomach and think trans fat is a word so dirty, the FCC should ban it.

So why are you still using lotion with polyethylene glycol, otherwise known as PEG, a class of compounds in moisturizers that enhance the penetration of ingredients besides moisture–like heavy metals.

A trip to the Cosmetics Database and typing your favorite shampoo or brand may give you a valuable lesson and make you rethink what soap to buy next week.
