Vegetarian Star

Vegetarian Prop bets are all the range among poker players these days, but Tom Dwan won’t make any money off Prahlad Friedman or Daniel Negreanu.

These guys don’t need a million dollars to change their diets.

Between the two vegan poker players, who would you rather…

Escape From The Slaughterhouse

Humans who score high in the game by Mikael Romlin would likely find themselves at a sanctuary if the tables were turned and people were factory farmed.

According to PETA’s blog, besides saving yourself, you’re also searching cages at various levels to set your friends free in The Escape From The Slaughterhouse.

Watch out for the butchers and the meat grinders along the way.

Livia Stone

Livia Stone is the First Lady of Twitter.

That’s right, she’s married to Biz Stone, co-founder of telling it like it is in 140 characters or less.

Like Biz, Livia shuns meat and is also an animal activist.

Vegansaurus got a chance to talk with her to find out how this 10 year vegan got involved with the vegetarian/animal rights scene.

Why she went VEG:
“Initially I went veg because I realized I didn’t need to kill or exploit animals to live, but as I learned more—especially about the environmental impact of animal agriculture—I can’t believe anyone who is interested in going “green” doesn’t give up or at least reduce the amount of animal products they consume.”

And that picture of the cheesy lasagna that made us thing Biz wasn’t really vegan? Completely dairy free!
“Since I’ve discovered Daiya cheese I’ve been making a mean mac ‘n cheese casserole but generally I’m big on making soups from scratch, especially heirloom tomato soup. For bakesales, just about anything from my cupcake cookbook. The carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting recipe is amazing!”

Hall of fame broadcaster for the Detroit Tigers baseball team, Ernie Harwell, has passed at the age of 91.

According to the Windsor Star, Harwell ate a mostly vegetarian diet, but would indulge in the occasional lamb at a Greek restaurant in Detroit.

Argh!

Out of all the occasional meat meals, baby animals has to be the worst!

Thoughts go out to Harwell’s family and friends.

Marie Claire has compiled a few of Bones star Emily Deschanel‘s favorite eco friendly products.

If a fellow vegan wanted to copy Deschanel’s style without emulating that creepy, Single White Female role, it wouldn’t be hard because Marie Claire knows all!

What the Pluck?, a candle made by A Scent of Scandal, has got our attention without even sniffing it.

Made from 100% soy wax, A Scent of Scandal candles were created by Ari Solomon, who’s made contributions to the Huffington Post on animal issues.

There’s also EcoTools, the earth friendly make up kit and bag with Alicia Silverstone‘s name attached to them.

Vaute Couture vegan fashions from Leanne Hilgart, vegan desserts from Erin McKenna and vegan shoes from Elizabeth Olsen also make the cut.

"Put On Your Crown" Queen Latifah

Queen Latifah has authored a book about empowering girls and women, Put On Your Crown.

Good self esteem starts by eating healthy and the Queen begins chapter one of her book reflecting on a moment after she’d finished her yoga class and ate a vegan breakfast.

Yes, she even specified vegan.

Sure would have been nice if she gave more details.

Granola over soy milk?

Tofu scramble with vegetables?

If you’re treating yourself like a queen, there are dozens of breakfasts you can consume that are free of milk and eggs and EatDrinkBetter has suggested 10 ways to start your day with a vegan meal, some traditional, some you may have never considered breakfast food.

Like banana boats.

“Split each banana length-wise and spread each half generously with peanut butter. Top with raisins, drizzle on the agave nectar, and dust with cinnamon.”

Yum! Sounds like dessert for breakfast!

Let’s get a few things straight.

Judging from the hot dog named after her and from her own mouth, Betty White‘s no vegetarian.

She isn’t exactly down with animal rights either.

But she does have an interest in what she calls animal “health” and “welfare” and those interests have led her to support the Morris Animal Foundation for 45 years.

Betty told Starpulse, “Oh I think helping the animals is – that’s the lovely upside of any celebrity that happens. I’m not an animal activist. I’m not into anything political, demonstrations, or anything like that. I’m just into animal health and welfare. And have been with the Morris Animal Foundation, a health organization for 45 years, and with the Los Angeles Zoo for 45 years. Over the years of enjoying show business we’ve been able to help the animals.”

The foundation conducts research to improve the health of animals.

Research and testing always make an activist cringe, but here’s one non invasive and non pharmaceutical study that may help thousands of dogs get readopted.

The Canine Behavioral Assessment and Research Questionnaire (C-BARQ) is used to assess the behavior and temperment of relinquished dogs, but it is also very lengthy and as a result, shelters often don’t use it.

Behavioral scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have developed a shortened version that will allow shelter workers to determine an animal’s ability to successfully live in a home.

Results showed the shortened test is reliable, which could mean more returned dogs may find homes again.

Erin McKenna is busy cranking out another cookbook, but if you’re still navigating your way through her first one, BabyCakes: Vegan, Gluten Free and (Mostly) Sugar Free Recipes from New York’s Most Talked About Bakery, there is help available on her website.

If you’ve ever wondered if potato starch can replace potato flour, you’re in luck.

Over the months since publishing the book, she’s compiled a list of some of the most frequently asked questions about her recipes, and she’s created an FAQ list.

BTW, potato starch and flour are TOTALLY different and you have to use what the recipe calls for.

Here are a couple of other commonly asked questions.

Q: What if I can’t have gluten or bean flours? Is there a substitute?
A: You may substitute rice flour for the recipes that call for Garbanzo-Fava bean flour, but not for the recipes that call for Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Baking Flour or Spelt Flour.

Q: What is Evaporated Cane Juice? Is it liquid or granular?
A: It’s granular and relatively easy to find. Try Florida Crystals. You may also use Rapadura.

For the complete list of FAQs, visit BabyCakes.
