Vegetarian Star

Gwyneth Paltrow has recently shared on her blog, Goop, the diet and fitness regime she adhered to while getting fit for her new role in Iron Man 2.

Paltrow is known for her use of ingredients that, although many vegetarians find as staples, like vegan Mayonnaise, has brought her ridicule and called an elitist.

Ahlanlive took advantage of her latest newsletter entry to mock her diet, citing what Paltrow uses in her world, versus what regular Joe’s use in theirs.

GOOP World: 7am: Wake up, have a green tea
Real World: 7am: Alarm goes off. Unpeel tongue from roof of mouth. Momentarily wish was dead as preferential to getting up and going to work. Hit snooze button.

GOOP World: Post-workout: Kale Juice (kale, lemons, agave nectar, cold water)
Real World: What the hell is agave nectar?

GOOP World: 1pm Lunch: 1 Mountain Valley Wrap, 1.5 tablespoons of Almond Butter, Chopped Dates
Real World: “Hello, is that More? Yeah, can I get a lasagne for delivery, please? Yep, that’s it, thanks. No nothing else.” Pause. “And chips.”

Is your life closer to Goop World or Real World?

Ellen Pompeo‘s daughter is already seven months old with 2 teeth!

Since baby Stella is taking to solid foods, Pompeo is being extra careful about what to feed her, even for foods as simple as cereal.

“I haven’t given her Cheerios yet but if she does, she would have organic oats instead,” Pompeo, the Grey’s Anatomy actress who, although enjoys veggie burgers, had a failed attempt at going vegetarian, told People.

If a child finds a box of Lucky Charms at the end of the rainbow, it’s not so fortunate after all.

Cereals marketed to children often have 85% more sugar, 65% less fiber and 60% more sodium that cereals marketed to adults.

Grist has profiled several organic cereals, some of which are marketed for children, and put them to the test.

Enviro Kidz came out a winner across several of their varieties, which are sweetened with cane juice instead of sugar.

Matter of fact, Enviro Kidz came out on top for the adults…

Must be those cute lemurs on the box that make you feel warm and cuddly at six in the morning before a work day.

Louise Van De Vorst made a creative scene at Australian Fashion Week on Wednesday when she arrived in a Volcano dress by designers Romance Was Born.

Van De Vorst is a successful model who is branching out and starting her own clothing line.

This vegan, much like her boyfriend, Silverchair’s front man Daniel Johns, is quite ethical in her food and fashion, and won’t be putting any real fur on the catwalk.

“With myself I do use fake fur and it’s really important to do that kind of stuff,” she said.

With the rise in real fur at so many fashion weeks during the past few months, Van De Vorst’s ethics are a refreshing change.

Stefanie Hart, the actress that starred in the popular “Hart To Hart” TV show, says she’d like to be on the 105 year plan.

For life, that is.

When asked how she deals with the aging process, she hinted that her diet may help her get through it, and insists she only wants longevity if the years are healthy.

“For a start, I’m maniacal about exercise. I’m a vegetarian, not a vegan, and I try to do the best I can to be aware of health hazards and do what I can to sustain myself in the most sensible way. Yes, I’d like to be on the 105-year plan, but only if the quality of those 105 years is good.”

Stefanie may have already bought her quality old age, since she’s been adhering to a diet without meat.

Vegetarians have a lower risk of dying from heart disease and low meat intake has been associated with greater longevity.

Let’s all aim for the 105 year plan, because the golden years are going to be great!

The most unhealthy school lunch sitting in the cafeteria these days is beef and cheese nachos.

Given the amount of animal fat, cholesterol and dairy in such a meal, it’s easy to understand why.

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine analyzed the school lunches on menus from 18 elementary schools across the country and found meatloaf and potatoes, cheeseburgers, cheese sandwiches and pepperoni pizza didn’t trail far behind the beefy nachos.

A bill introduced by representative Jared Polis, the Healthy School Meals Act or H.R. 4870, is trying to change this.

If passed, it would provide funds to school districts to purchase healthier items and place more vegetarian entrees and non dairy beverages on the menus.

H.R. 4870 can’t come soon enough!
