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.

On Thursday, September 30th, 2010, Peter Max and wife Mary will host an event for the United Poultry Concerns and the Alliance to End Chickens as Kaporos at the Peter Max Studio located at 37 West 65th Street, 7th Floor Between Columbus & Central Park West in New York City from 6:30-9:00 PM.

The Kaporos ritual precedes Yom Kippur and involves ritually slaughtering chickens in orthodox Jewish Communities. Dr. Allen Kornberg from Farm Sanctuary has suggested vegetarians and vegans substitute this practice for a gesture of kindness and charity during the Holiday, such as donating to a worthwhile cause or putting a material offering in a bag and sacrificing it as they would a live chicken.

Vegan hater Anthony Bourdain once said it was rude to eat vegetarian while traveling, but the British gals Fearne Cotton and Alexandra Burke are willing to forgo manners by refusing to eat animals given to them by locals in Peru.

The two stars have laced up their hiking boots to walk along the country’s Inca trail to raise money and awareness for breast cancer. The trail is one of the most famous in the world, spanning 26 miles, passing through mountains, forests, jungles and ending at Machu Picchu, the “lost city of the Incas.”

A local mayor presented the two with guinea pigs and then invited them to the event where the animals would be skinned and roasted and eaten.
