Vegetarian Star

Most people would agree that Roseanne Barr is pretty nutty.

She’s offering more proof of this by running her own nut farm. While promoting her latest book, Roseannarchy: Dispatches From the Nut Farm, Barr said nuts beat meat for both environmental and health reasons.

“They’re the perfect protein,” she said. “They don’t have any carbohydrates and the only fat they’ve got, which is a lot, but it’s the good kind. So it’s better than beef. No greenhouse gases. Nice nuts.”

Barr’s favorite nut is the macademia one.

“Congress passes Truth in Fur Labeling Act! From now on, every fur coat will have a label that says, ‘This garment being worn by a shallow, narcissistic, selfish creature.”

–Comedian Elayne Boosler, on the new law that requires garments with smaller amounts of fur on them to declare if the fur is real or fake, something previously required only if the garment was worth more than $150.

A pet lover and animal advocate herself, Boosler has been featured in Animal Wellness magazine, where she said success to her meant, “The end of puppy mills and inhumane practices in the food industry, widespread spaying and neutering and having every person know that each time an animal is bought from a pet store, an animal in the pound dies.”

Anyone who breaks an American record for running a 24 hour race probably has good advice on nutrition. Heck, anyone who can run for 24 hours should set the new government guidelines for eating and rebuild the food pyramid.

Vegan ultra marathoner Scott Jurek is about to release a book either by the end of this year or early 2012 that may contain some indispensable advice for plant-fueled athletes like he gave to No Meat Athlete.

Number 1: Go Slowly
Like training for your first marathon, switching to a vegetarian or vegan diet that’s healthy isn’t happening in a week. “I think it’s always good to have a gradual transition; have a plan,” Jurek said. “PCRM does a great 21-Day Vegan Kickstart program and giving support along the way.”

Johnny Weir‘s book, Welcome To My World, is set for release next week. People Magazine has published an excerpt along with photographs of the Olympic figure skater.

The book represents his official coming out but if gay vegetarian and animal rights activists see the People photo shoot, they might suggest he go back in–at least for a wardrobe change.

Kathy Freston "Veganist"

Kathy Freston is at it again!

The woman who’s written best selling books like Quantum Wellness Cleanse and convinced Oprah Winfrey to try a vegan diet is set to release another title in February, Veganist: Lose Weight, Get Healthy, Change The World.

What exactly is a veganist? Freston has started a blog for the book on her website, where she explains the term.

“Someone who moves toward eating a plant based diet so that they are as physically healthy as they can be, environmentally friendly, and a kind and thoughtful human being. And it’s not about being pure or strict; it’s about being informed and having fun while living according to values like kindness and thoughtfulness. Truly, I believe in progress, not perfection!”

Ewan McGregor

Ewan McGregor is rumored to play Paul Watson in an upcoming film on the anti-whaling activist’s life, “Ocean Warrior: The Paul Watson Story.”

McGregor will portray Watson’s life during his earlier days of activism with Greenpeace and starting the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.

Watson seems pleased with the film’s producer’s choice for him, as he wrote about it on a site about enviornmentalism.

“I think he will do a good job, although I would love to see long time Sea Shepherd supporter Christian Bale take the part. As for a leading lady my favourite actress has always been Sophie Marceau, but the choice is not mine unfortunately.”

Last month, Betty Crocker Facebook fans picked alternative diets that included vegan and gluten-free cooking as a top holiday trend.

Kristen Olson, Food Editor of the Betty Crocker Test Kitchen, is riding the wave Betty Crocker fans are on and has provided a recipe for vegan sugar cookies.

Soymilk replaces dairy milk and vegan margarine gives the same buttery taste and texture of the real thing. You may have heard of commercially produced egg substitutes, but did you know 2 tablespoons of cornstarch accomplish the same purpose?

Grab the recipe for Betty Crocker’s Sugar Cookies. Interested in more vegan Betty Crocker recipes? Maybe you should meet the Shannons.
