Vegetarian Star

Sid Lerner is the brain behind the Meatless Monday campaign in the U.S. He was motivated to create the idea after being told by his doctors his cholesterol and blood pressure were over the top. Lerner sees Meatless Monday as a way for everyone to reduce their intake of saturated fat and has worked, through a partnership with the Johns Hopkins School of Public Health, to extend the program to 80,000 kids in Baltimore’s school districts.

Lerner also Squeezed the Charmin back in the 60s. No, it’s not a reference for any illicit activity, but a catchy slogan for the toilet paper commercials he created. Watch the commercial above and visit NPR for an audio segment Lerner.

VegNews magazine interviewed Maroon 5‘s bassist Mickey Madden and learned about his journey to veganism as he gradually gave up animals products, starting in high school. These days he finds it easy to keep up what he started as he says all the band members are supportive of his diet, making it easy to eat well on the road. Oh, and that Tweet sent by Adam Levine on aiming to be a vegetarian after the steak indulgence–it probably doesn’t happen too often, as Madden says Levine is 85% vegan.

“We’re all extremely health-conscious and everyone is really vegan-friendly. Adam [Levine], the singer in the band, in particular will eat, I’d say, about 85-percent vegan for health reasons. All the band members are meat-eaters, but they’re not close-minded and [they] understand the principles of veganism. It makes a big difference. It’s so strange, I obviously have reasons that relate to the world at large for my veganism, but it’s so much a personal choice and a matter of personal preference that I’ve never understood the reaction to it that some people have.”

Ah, celebrity products. A bang for your buck? Or a famous face attached to a mediocre item? Stars like Martha Stewart and Rachael Ray have their names behind household items and now, both veg stars John Salley and Joanna Lumley have jars to call their own. Well, John Salley Foods website still says “Coming Soon.”

Joanna’s Mango Kashmiri Chutney and John’s Garlic Chipotle Sauce sound good. But not necessarily together. Between the two stars who’ve created food products, who would you rather…

Dating In The Dark is an ABC television reality show modeled after the one originally produced in the Netherlands and was since remade for American, Australian, British, Danish, Finnish, French, and Swedish audiences.

The show gives a whole new meaning to “blind date” as contestants experience their first few dates completely in darkness and are unable to see their potential mates, restricting to touching to, ahem, “assess” one another.

Most recently, Natasha, a swim instructor who’s a vegetarian for ethical reasons tried her hand in love but went home empty.

Most vegetarians looking for love can see an interest before talking to them on the green and vegetarian dating sites we’ve listed before.

Supervegan.com also runs a Date This Vegan feature for vegans in the New York area.
