Vegetarian Star

“If you really look at the way people eat in North America today, it’s so different from other cultures. When we think of the word protein, it’s almost the same meaning as meat. In other cultures, protein comes from plant-based sources: In South America, it’s whole grains; in Mexico, it’s beans; in India, it’s lentils; in Asia, it’s soy. Not all of those cultures are vegetarian, obviously, but the bulk of their protein intake is from plant-based sources. In the U.S., we don’t know how to address vegetarian protein.”

New York city’s Fashion’s Night Out will feature some green events, like it did last year when the Stella McCartney store offered vegetarian food.

Vegan cosmetic creator and model Josie Maran will be at the Sephoria’s Fifth Avenue Boutique giving mini makeovers and meet and greets to visitors.

Lady Gaga Vogue Hommes Japan

Lady Gaga‘s latest publicity stunt is to get down and dirty with raw meat on the cover on September’s Vogue Hommes Japan.

Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, has to say.

“Oh, Lady Gaga’s job is to do outlandish things, and this certainly qualifies as outlandish because meat is something you want to avoid putting on or in your body.”

Corinne Bailey Rae revealed to Afro she has a thing for ethical clothing and food. The “Put Your Records On” singer likes Stella McCartney fashion and loves making vegetarian chili at home.

“I like to cook stews and things, dishes where the heat does all the work. So, it’s just like chopping and flavoring. Veggie chili would be my favorite thing to cook because it’s really great but not much work.”

How much work goes into chili really depends on what you put in it. The self-proclaimed Best Vegetarian Chili In The World recipe has a 15 minute prep time and incorporates several types of beans, corn and other veggies and vegetarian burger crumbles.

For even less work, buy an already made veggie chili by a company known for producing meatless delights like Amy’s Kitchen canned vegetarian chili or Lightlife’s Smart Chili in a microwaveable bag.

“I was raised in an eastern Canadian fishing village right on the Maine border, called St. Andrews. I used to swim with these beavers in a beaver pond when I was 10. I went back when I was 11 and found there were no more beavers. I found that trappers had taken them all so I became quite angry and that winter I began to walk the trap lines and free animals from the traps and destroy the traps. So that was really my first venture into activism.”

–Sea Shepherd’s Paul Watson, on his first memory of animal activism to The Faster Times.

Hugh Jackman is one confusing vegan wannabe/chicken eater.

Jackman wrote a foreword to one of vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier‘s books that contained the line, “there’s every chance that I will be a vegan by the time you read…”–crediting veganism for helping him put on lean muscle before filming X Men Origins:Wolverine in 2009.

Fast forward to today, Jackman’s reps confirm he is not a vegan.

However, what’s even more confusing is that at a press conference for the movie, Jackman emphasized that his ripped body had nothing to do with pea and hemp protein.

Times of the Internet is reporting that a recent edition of In Touch claims Jessica Simpson is getting into vegan eating and cooking because her boyfriend, New Orleans Saints’ Tight End Eric Johnson, is vegan.

“Eric is a vegan, so there’s a lot of foods he won’t eat,” a source said.

Simpson has gone so far as to hire a chef to teach her some vegan food secrets so she can prepare them for Eric.

“She barely knew where the kitchen was before. But she is motivated now, because she knows it makes Eric happy,” the source added.

If this gossip is valid, this news is good to hear about Jessica, but even 10 times better to hear a professional NFL player is living on an entirely plant-based diet. One strike against the stereotype that vegetarian men are weak, wimpy and non-athletic. And one step closer to getting another naked man to pose in PETA’s provocative ads so the veggie ladies can have their share of meatless eye candy.
