Vegetarian Star

[picappgallerysingle id="9748535"]People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has released its list of the most vegetarian friendly NFL stadiums.

There’s no excuse for DeSean Jackson grabbing a Philadelphia cheesesteak after the game, when he can take advantage of other high protein manly foods at the Philadelphia Eagles’ Lincoln Financial Field like, “mock-steak sandwiches, faux-chicken sandwiches, veggie dogs, and veggie burgers.”

Did your favorite team and stadium make the cut?

When some politicians write books, they discuss the scandals, the life on Capitol Hill and their next career move.

Representative Dennis Kucinich would like to tell you about his diet.

From the Bloomberg Businessweek article on vegan powerhouses, it’s reported that the Ohio congressman is working on a book about his vegan lifestyle, tentatively titled, “The Cleveland Diet.”

Kucinich is such a good political talker, he was able to persuade Representative Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.), the head of the Committee on House Administration, to put vegan options on the menu at the cafeteria during Congress’ sessions.

Here’s hoping he wins plenty of votes for the diet when the book is released.

Pamela Anderson would like to meet with Jewish leaders in Israel to persuade them to ban the use of fur in traditional Hasic headwear, reports E! online.

Anderson is visiting the country as a guest judge for its version of “Dancing With The Stars.”

While stating that Israel was a “progressive nation” and an “example for the rest of the world,” the former Baywatch actresses said it’s time for a change when it comes to wearing animals to represent one’s sect.

“It’s almost 2011. There are so many alternatives to things,” she said. “We can be compassionate in our choices.”

A bill that would potentially restrict the use of fur in headwear has been placed on hold due to a large percentage of voters being Hasidic. But some anti-fur organizations have found a large majority of the Israeli public would like to do away with fur completely.

“My life totally changed, and now I have this amazing amount of energy. Changing my body has given me the ability to do all these amazing things that I never in a million years imagined I could do.”

–Robin Quivers,to People magazine, crediting the success of her 80 pound weight loss and being able to complete the New York City Marathon this past weekend to a vegan diet which she still follows.

Finally, a celebrity that doesn’t ditch the veg once the pounds are gone. If the New York City or any other marathon is on your list of goals, why not start the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine’s 21-Day Kickstart program to get on the vegan diet track. In less than two months, the program will begin. Are you ready for life changing energy?

Simone Reyes, the vegan power gal and assistant to Russell Simmons, will be featured in action on this week’s “Running Russell Simmons,” the new series documenting Simmons daily life.

Several months ago, Reyes participated in a PETA demonstration in New York’s Times Square where she was drenched in fake blood and packaged to resemble the cuts of meat found in a supermarket.

Rachael Ray "Look + Cook"

Rachael Ray‘s latest book, Look + Cook, unfortunately, didn’t include an entire chapter of vegetarian recipes like the Big Orange Book did.

Look + Cook has an accompanying website which features videos of Rachael demonstrating a few of the recipes from the cookbook. Individual Vegetable Pot Pies from page 232 rivals a vegetable pocket more than a pie. But with it’s versatility (omit the egg and substitute vegan butter for vegan pot pies) and quickness (Ray promises a vegetable pot pie that takes less time to prepare than to thaw a frozen one), the Individual Vegetable Pot Pie and other recipes may or may not be worth purchasing the book, so it’s great you can get instructions from the website.

Jorge Garcia may have been a little confused by vegan marshmallows, but he’s completely understanding of why he won’t be eating turkey this Thanksgiving or living on an island that doesn’t offer plant-based sources of nutrition.

“I’ve been a vegetarian for about four months now,” Garcia said.

Learning how animals are raised in crowded conditions and slaughtered prompted the change.

“It’s about the animals,” Garcia added.

Someone send this man a vegan chocolate marshmallow turkey! He’ll totally understand it now.

Jane Goodall. 50 Years At Gombe.

Has it really been 50 years since Jane Goodall stepped on the grounds of Gombe, leading to decades of research and brilliant discovery of how some of the smartest animals on earth function and interact as a community?

The Jane Goodall Institute is celebrating the vegetarian, humanitarian and primate researcher’s life by publishing a followup to the 40th anniversary of the start of her work, Jane Goodall: 40 Years at Gombe.

Since 1999, the Gombe site has expanded its research efforts to humans as well, from AIDS research to improving sanitation, health care and education in the Tanzanian communities nearby and these are highlighted in Jane Goodall: 50 Years At  Gombe.

One of those humanitarian efforts is the TACARE program.
