Vegetarian Star

“How many people have hybrids in this town, how many people recycle? Being vegetarian is so much more eco-conscious. And it’s lovely to know that when you are eating it’s ethical and nothing had to die. I’d have a veggie burger even when I was eating meat.”

—Owain Yeoman, star on The Mentalist, at Peta’s 30th anniversary gala. Although he said a raw food experiment “didn’t sit well,” with him, Yeoman’s been a vegetarian for 2 years and a vegan for 6 month, making him super green and eco-conscious.

There’s nothing more adorable than pig that’s so smart it ranks up there with a toddler in intelligence. That’s why the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a Facebook application that aims to increase awareness about the creatures.

After doing well and earning titles like “Weaner” “Porker” and “Whole Hog,” players can advance to the section that allows them to answer pig trivia.

Like most grocery stores, Mario Batali‘s latest food enterprise, Eataly, features a butcher in the 50,000 square feet empire. However, Jennifer Rubell, a graduate of both Harvard University and Culinary Institute of America, is so good at cutting she doesn’t leave behind any blood. It doesn’t help that her victims are vegetables, though.

When asked by New York Magazine what a vegetable butcher does, Batali replied, “If you’re not familiar with how to trim an artichoke, we’ll trim you an artichoke. If you don’t think you have time to peel your baby carrots, you can leave them with us and go shop in the other parts of the store, and we’ll peel them. We’ll do anything but cook them. On your way out, we’ll put the peels in a little separate bag—because they’re going to weigh them at the checkout counter—and then they go into a compost can up front.”

MindBodyGreen conducted an interview with this plant killer to learn more about her skills.

Paula Deen is working on her own line of produce. Amazingly, from current reports, the line doesn’t include vegetables wrapped in bacon, dipped in butter and doubled fried.

According to the Richmond Times-Dispatch, Deen is working with both farmers and food producers and hopes to have the brand out next year and describes it as a “dream solution for young mothers” because of the quality of the food.

The southern food celebrity chef is using her 4-year old grandson Jack as the guinea pig, and Deen says he is fanatical about the broccoli.

If you won’t eat her broccoli, maybe at least the family cat will.

Steve Jobs will have his own private, vegetable garden at his new pad, reports Cult of Mac, which also has a layout of the 5,000 square feet design on its website.

Gizmodo gave the intricate details:

“According to these initial designs, Jobs intends to populate the 6 acres with an assortment of indigenous flora; a simple three-car garage; a modest 5 bedroom home with plenty of windows and decks; a network of lighted stone walkways; and even a private vegetable garden. Everything is neat, tight, pragmatic, and in its place.”

This leaves more questions to be answered, of course. What vegetables will be included? Will the garden be organic? Does Jobs have a staff to tend to the veggies or does he have a natural green thumb himself?

It may awhile before the public learns these answers, but there is information available on why people garden in the first place, according to a survey by the National Gardening Association called “Impact of Home and Community Gardening in America.”

Sorry guys, but no, they’re not posing naked together.

Awhile back Lea Michele wasn’t so sure she’d ever take her clothes off in the name of animals or vegetarianism. However, a recent poll conducted by Radar Online backstage at PETA’s 30th anniversary gala found Michele would consider such an offer.

“I don’t think we need to see a billboard of me naked to know I am anti-fur, but if they asked I would probably do it,” the Glee actress said.
