Vegetarian Star

Homer Simpson may be a meat eating, donut devouring, less than fit character on The Simpsons, but the guy who lends his voice to the nuclear power plant dad is anything but.

According to Hispanic Business, Dan Castellaneta is a teetotaler vegetarian who exercises every day and practices yoga.

Earning approximately $400,000 per episode, Castellaneta pulls in roughly $8 million a year for his “D’oh!” talents.

That’s more than enough to buy all the organic food he wants from Whole Foods.

A finalist in Britain’s Got Talent sustains her energy by following a vegetarian, organic diet.

She’s also enjoys being petted by fans.

Twelve year old Chandi is the dog of 37-year old Tina Humphrey from Shropshire, and the two are finalists in the talent reality TV show, with Chandi carrying the bulk of the talent.

It should come as no surprise that Chandi will only eat meatless–organic vegetables and cheese, because that’s what all serious professional athletes do.

“She’s on an organic raw food diet too – she is an athlete after all,” Humphrey told The Sun.

Chandi’s favorite treat is mild cheddar and although the brand can vary, it’s imperative that it’s organic.

Wonder if Chandi lets off less rear end steam due to her diet, like Alicia Silverstone‘s dogs did when they went veg.

Persia White has an exclusive interview with Radar Online where she dishes the dirt about vegan fashion.

The hardest part about going vegan was finding non-leather shoes at first, but Persia soon found out there are plenty of animal free alternatives to replace the ones she gave away.

“At first Leather was hard, because of giving away all of my shoes,” Persia says. “Lately, it’s changed. There is a world that is growing and expanding that is cruelty-free designers!”

Some of Persia’s favorite designers include Costume National, Melissa Plastic Shoes and Stella McCartney.

Chantelle Houghton stands outside the largest wholesale meat market in the UK, Smithfield, next to her PETA vegetarian ad that associates eating meat with erectile dysfunction.

The ad reads “Eating Meat Got You Down? Fight Impotence. Go Vegetarian.”

Will this message keep male buyers walking past the market?

Padma Lakshmi, Food 52′s Amanda Hesser, celebrity chef Charlie Trotter and author Kathleen Collins made up a panel that recently discussed whether or not food TV does anyone any good at the “Food on the Tube: How TV Shapes the Way We Think About Food” discussion.

Sure, we need to learn to cook versus ordering out, taking out and boiling processed packaged contents in the microwave every night, but do food television programs teach or are viewers just there for entertainment?

Celebrity chef Trotter, who owns Charlie Trotter, a restaurant that features an entire vegetable menu, got his first lessons in cooking in college from reading The Vegetarian Epicure and admits, like the rest of the panel, he didn’t have anyone teaching him to cook early in life.

PETA has announced the top vegetarian friendly major and minor league baseball stadiums for 2010.

The veggie hot dog stands at Citizen’s Bank Park were so popular, the stadium added extra lines for them, in addition to a black bean burger. Is this why the Philadelphia Phillies’ home won first place in the major leagues?

“It’s hard to say whether the Phils’ biggest off-season acquisition was ace Roy Halladay or the new faux chicken sandwich and vegan rice crispie treats offered at concession stands. Added to other meat-free fare, including veggie burgers, Southwestern black-bean burgers, veggie dogs, faux steak sandwiches, veggie chicken steaks, mock crab cakes, hummus and pita chips, and fresh fruit, Citizens Bank Park is the first undisputed dynasty in the history of PETA’s prestigious rankings.”

Makes you wanna eat there even if you hate baseball.
