Vegetarian Star

Some sandwiches on the menu at Brooklyn-based Hana Food have undergone name changes. After opening another larger establishment in the Bushwick area, the owner changed offensive sounding combos like “Gay Boy,” “Butter Face” and “The Illegal” to , “Garden Boy,” “Farmer’s Tan,” and “South of the Border.”

Two of these sandwiches are veggie-friendly.

Several high profile retailers, including The Gap, Macy’s and Liz Claiborne Inc., are urging Australian Wool Innovation (AWI), which represents Australian wool producers, to phase out the practice of mulesing. Mulesing involves cutting a part of the lamb’s rear out in order to prevent maggots eating the animal’s flesh. Animal activists say this is usually done without anesthesia.

AWI had originally promised to stop the practice of mulesing by 2013, but is now shying away from this promise, something that has angered American wool buyers.

Parvesh Cheena plays Gupta, an employee everybody loves to avoid on NBC’s “Outsourced,” a sitcom about an Indian call center located in Mumbai for an American-based catalog ordering company.

Cheena is a pescatarian who will add more “almond milk, brown rice and stir fry” to his diet when trying to eat healthier. He’s also got a weakness for cauliflower. However, he admits he is a cheese-aholic and it’s the only thing standing between him and veganism. Or maybe one of those weird vegans who eat fish occasionally.

“My big downfall is deep-dish pizza from Chicago,” Cheena told CNN’s Eatocracy. “That is why I can’t go vegan – I can’t give up cheese. I can’t give up dairy.”

Roseanne Barr is set to give viewers a glimpse of her life on her 40-acre Macademia nut farm in Hawaii in a new Lifetime comedic reality series.

The 16 episode series is from the same producers who brought viewers Biggest Loser, 3 Ball/Eyeworks and Full Moon & High Tide Productions, and is expected to premiere later this year.

Barr has said nuts are better than beef, because of their protein content, good fats and environmentally friendly production methods.

Update: A reader named Leslie was able to locate the recipe. Click on link here or see comment on post. Thanks Leslie!

Nigella Lawson gave an interview with NPR to discuss all things involving love and food.

Lawson makes two suggestions for V-day dinner, one of which is vegetarian.

Interestingly enough, this dinner can be viewed as a labor of love for your sweetie, or forced labor on him/her if you make them help you chop the tomatoes, the task she considers to be the hardest.

“This would also be a lovely recipe to do if you don’t want to serve up something as if you were working in the restaurant, but wanted to have your partner with you and chatting. He or she could be chopping some tomatoes as well,” Lawson said.

Oh, dear Gaga.

While arriving at the Grammy’s in an egg you would later hatch out of is not nearly as smelly as the meat dress you wore last year, we’d still rather see you in some animal-free attire, like lettuce leaves.

If you missed the singer’s grand arrival being carried by her servants, or, uh, people paid too much money to join in on the ridiculousness, you can view that below. However, it’s also a perfect time to discuss what goes into an egg label.

Free-roaming? Cage-free? Certified Humane? Gaga Approved?

Confusing terms such as those mentioned above can all be deciphered on the Humane Society’s article on Egg Carton Labels: A brief guide to labels and animal welfare.
