Vegetarian Star

Poker player Daniel Negreanu got a pleasant surprise when he made a stop at a Texas airport.

While most airports feature the standard burger, chicken and fries fare, Daniel found a place that offered vegetarian food so good, it was worth Tweeting about.

“Bravo Dallas airport. Plenty of healthy food options. I was VERY surprised to see a brown rice tofu bowl at a fast food joint.”

Could Daniel be talking about the Blue Bamboo Xpress in the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which offers bowls containing your choice of rice, noodles and vegetables?

Claire Danes is starring in the HBO movie Temple Grandin, the story of a woman with autism who went on to become a professor in science and develop a more humane system of transporting cattle to slaughter.

Danes got the chance to work with cattle in the film, an experience she found rewarding.

“The scariest scene was lying prostrate on the ground with all of them circling me,” Danes said, but added the cows were “very passive.”

“It was fascinating to learn about them and learn about the cattle industry at large.”

Although Danes isn’t vegetarian, she praises methods that put less stress on an animal that will eventually be slaughtered.

“It’s not a paradox to eat meat. You just have to treat the animals in a humane way and with respect while they’re alive.”

Grandin has won an award from animal rights group, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, and was quoted as saying, “I think using animals for food is an ethical thing to do, but we’ve got to do it right. We’ve got to give those animals a decent life and we’ve got to give them a painless death. We owe the animal respect.”

The UFC 109 Relentless event will be held at Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada tomorrow and will be broadcast on pay per view.

The Ultimate Fighter 6 winner and veggie athlete Mac Danzig is set to compete against Justin Buchholz.

MMA Junkie recently spoke with Danzig and joked about how he left the limelight and got “fat,” while taking some time off.

“Never mind how you get fat as a vegan (answer: Trader Joe’s vegan oatmeal chocolate chip cookies and soy ice cream); he hadn’t taken off that much time since he got in the game almost nine years ago. “

Getting fat as a vegan sounds like the best way to go, since so many delicious egg-free and dairy-free desserts exist on the shelves today.

Plus, it’s easy to go back to your “lightweight” once you cut the sweets and eat only one tofu tamale instead of seven.

Danzig’s got high hopes for coming out a champion this weekend.

“Am I still good enough to still compete at this level of the sport and still have that fighting spirit? I feel I do,” he said.

“If he beats me fairly, then I feel like I should take a step back from that level of sport. But I’m confident. I truly believe I’m going to win.”

Ellen DeGeneres was interviewed by Katie Couric and she told Katie about her motivation for going vegan.

It all started with a little film narrated by Joaquin Phoenix.

“I watched a documentary, Earthlings,” Ellen said. “It’s inside footage of factory farms; 50 billion animals a year are killed. They’re in pain, treated badly, diseased, pumped full of antibiotics. I saw the reality and just couldn’t ignore it. And I’m healthier and happier.”

You’ve heard Ellen’s reason’s for giving up meat, dairy, fish, cheese and poultry.

What’s yours?

Single digit temperatures and snowy days make winter one of the best seasons to stay inside and try new recipes.

The Daily Green is featuring creations by several celebrity chefs, including vegan chefs Tal Ronnen and Bryant Terry and local food advocate Alice Waters.

The best treats, however, are vegetarian recipes by non vegetarian chefs like Jamie Oliver.

Although a target of animal rights activists for serving meat in his restaurants, Oliver has been outspoken about knowing the source of your food and improving the quality of food in school lunches in the UK.

His Vegetable Jalfrezi makes for a nice dish to enjoy at home, or to include in the children’s lunchbox.

Spices of ginger, garlic and cilantro liven up garbanzo beans and combine with vegetables such as cabbage and tomatoes to serve over rice and top with yogurt.

Banned In Hollywood has compiled its list of 6 celebrities who pose to save the environment.

Pose could mean they’re serious about their recycling and eating less meat or that they’re just looking for a Sigg ad to complete their resume.

But when it comes to vegetarian celebrities like Paul McCartney and singer Pink, you know they’re serious about promoting their beliefs.

Paul McCartney launched his meat-free Monday campaign in hopes of having everyone skip beef, pork and poultry for just one day a week.

And singer Pink puts compassion behind her argument against the environmentally unfriendly fur industry, never hesitating to trash another celebrity for being cruel enough to purchase animal hide.

Shiri Appleby plays Cate on The CW series Life Unexpected, about a teenage girl named Lux (Britt Robertson), finding her biological parents.

Robertson says she and her screen mother are completely opposites and it sounds as if Robertson could use a little advice in the nutrition category.

According to Robertson, Appleby works out for 2 hours a day and is a vegan, which probably means she won’t be sharing Robertson’s breakfast on the set unless someone buys her egg-free and milk-free donuts.

“I eat like no other,” Robertson said. “It drives everyone crazy. I eat donuts three times a day and I probably go through four Mountain Dews a day. I’m on like a sugar high at all times, pretty much.”

“When she sees me with my Mountain Dew, eating chips and a donut at 4 in the morning, she’s like, ‘Wow. Wait until you’re 30.’”

Could Appleby’s influence produce some unexpected diet changes in Roberston this season?
