Vegetarian Star

Ted Danson has praised Belize for its recent ban on trawling, the practice of pulling a fishing net behind vessels, in the Carribean waters of the country. Trawling, which is categorized by bottom or midwater trawling, depending on where the net is placed, destroys coral reefs and Botton trawling is considered to be the most destructive.

“One of the world’s smallest nations has made a monumental decision for the oceans,” Danson wrote at the Huffington Post. “As of today, Belize is one of the first countries in the world to institute a complete and permanent ban on trawling in all of its waters.”

Belize is home to the Belize Barrier Reef, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest coral reef system in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. These reef systems not only provide breath taking beauty for tourists looking to snorkel–they are a vital ecosystem of the earth.

Betty White is almost in the nonagenarian club!

The actress and animal welfare activist turned 89 recently and appeared on The View to discuss her latest projects, an indication she’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Barbara Walters reminded White that during one interview she told her she liked animals more than people.

“That’s true,” White said, eliciting laughter from the group. “I don’t make it a secret.”

“They never lie to you. You know when they tell you something, they mean it. They love you unconditionally,” White continued.

It’s no surprise this actress has been active with the Morris Animal Foundation, a research group that has aimed to improve the lives of dogs by conducting studies on dog bite education and creating ways to determine a dog’s compatibility in the home.

He may have won several major championships during his PGA career, but when it comes to sticking with a vegetarian lifestyle, Phil Mickelson belongs in the bail-out area.

After giving the diet a try in an attempt to curb some of his arthritis symptoms, Mickelson has announced he’s no longer eating that way.

Is it that ultimately a burger joint owner is doomed to fail?

“I was a strict vegetarian for five months, and that went okay but ultimately, it was doomed to fail,” Mickelson said at a press conference. “I learned a lot from that as far as eating habits and diet and so I’ve implemented a lot of the things from that.”

Vidya Balan and MP Dr. Shashi Tharoor have been chosen as PETA India’s Sexiest Vegetarians in an online poll.

Bollywood star Balan said of the honor, “Adopting a vegetarian diet may seem like a small choice, but it has an enormous impact on the world around us. The ‘hottest vegetarian’ recognition is an honour, but if you ask me, everyone who goes vegetarian is ‘hot’, since they each make the world a better place every day.”

She has plenty of hot company in India, as some polls indicate the percentage of vegetarians in the country range from 20-42 percent.

It’s time to tell the cow to moooo over.

The Wall Street Journal recently featured an article on the soaring popularity of almond milk.

Many people, and not just vegans, are opting for the nutty drink as an alternative to dairy and soy for both taste and health reasons. Its presence on the shelves helped fuel a 13% growth in non-dairy milk alternatives, according to SymphonyIRI Group, a Chicago market research firm.

And according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, dairy beverage consumption has been declining for years.

Kris Carr, author of Crazy Sexy Diet and several other books, appeared on Good Morning America for its “New Year, New You” series to discuss her new book and offer advice on eating a plant-based diet for better health. Diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer eight years ago, Carr made the switch to a veg diet and, as the GMA host described, “is thriving.”

Carr shared her daily breakfast drink, which consists of several green vegetables, a pear and a hint of ginger.

“The rest of the time I like to look at my plate and least 50% is covered in plants, greens,” Carr said when asked what her remaining meals for the day looked like. Brown rice, millet and beans are examples of what makes up the remaining 50% of her meal.

The recipe for Carr’s morning beverage drink can be viewed here.
