Vegetarian Star

The Independent has named their Best of Green and vegan actress Natalie Portman was chosen as the best green celebrity.

Although Natalie’s eco and animal friendly shoe line, Te Casan, was a failure, her successes in activism both through living and campaigning make her one of the best choices.

After being vegetarian for years, she finally made the switch to vegan after reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s book, Eating Animals.

Her work in Rowanda highlighting the lives of gorillas only further strengthens her resume as a advocate of animals.

Not only does Natalie care about her own source of food, but she has brought the issue of childhood nutrition to the spotlight as well.

As if her diet weren’t eco friendly enough, Natalie is making the resolution to travel carbon neutral.

Stella Sheer by Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney has launched a new perfume, Stella Sheer.

According to nstperfume, Stella Sheer is a limited edition, lighter version of a perfume launched in 2003.

Not only does the name sound pretty, but you can rest assure vegetarian Stella would never put any animal ingredients into her scents, like that musk scent extracted from deer or civets.

Thank goodness it doesn’t smell like a wild animal either, as Sugarscape reports the scent to be mixture of “organic rose with sparkling fruit, delicate floral and soothing amber.”

Jackson Browne knows he should become vegetarian, but it’s the little things like Iberian ham that would make him give into temptation.

The one area of his animal eating life he’s looking to improve is seafood and it’s his mission to eat sea life that’s not endangered.

“I think I’m going to have to make it my business to find out which seafood is sustainable and which isn’t,” he says in the video from the Huffington Post.

If you’re a pescatarian, the Environmental Defense Fund has a handy chart listing seafood by Eco-Best, Eco-Ok and Eco-Worse based on what’s best for the health of the ocean and humans.

True Blood‘s Kristin Bauer has recorded a public service announcement for the International Fund for Animal Welfare’s campaign Tails for Whales.

The campaign was designed to show governments around the world how many people support protecting dolphins in Japan.

One way concerned activists can do this is by taking a photograph of themselves making a dolphin “tail” with their hands (for better pictorial explanation, visit the website), and uploading it to the Tailsforwhales.org site.

Besides being counted as an activist, you can also add your picture to your blog or personal web page or any other media source that gets people to take a second look and asks, “What’s this about?”

One of Rachael Ray‘s dozens of Food Network shows, 30 Minute Meals, focuses on preparing comfort foods with convenience, using fresh ingredients while speeding up some of the processes normally required for that slow cooked flavor.

Not only are Ray’s meals quick and delivered to the table in 30 minutes or less, many of her dishes featured are vegetarian friendly.

Her Meat Free and Fabulous episode of 30 Minute Meals, for example, featured a Meat Free BLT Spaghetti with Butter Lettuce, Leek and Tomato plus Stuffed Young Zucchini.

Other vegetarian quickie meals featured include Radicchio Pasta Salad and a whole wheat skillet lasagna.

Dr. Oz must live by his wife’s advice now.

After he and Lisa appeared on The View together, the Mrs. revealed that although she’s been a vegetarian since age 15, it took a little nudging from her to get the doctor putting the right prescription for food in his body.

But he’s not vegetarian yet.

However, Oz is a big fan of a plant based diet, recommending a meat loving cowboy on his show go vegan for 28 days in an effort to cleanse his system.

Plus, he’s all about getting dirty when it comes to what you eat.

“The body is designed for whole foods — foods that come out of the ground,” Dr. Oz said. “And if the foods you are eating are not of that nature, eventually you can’t process them.”

Groundling foods include nuts, fruits and veggies.

And low fat items don’t grow from the ground, so don’t let their clean labels fool you.

“They have to put something else in place of that fat. Low-fat foods don’t grow on trees. And when they chemically modify food, it becomes a game for you and your mind can’t win.”

Heart healthy, cholesterol lowering olive oil came from the ground.

Low-fat margarine, buttery tasting weird substitute with ingredients and preservatives you can’t pronounce grew from the laboratory.

Sounds simple enough.
