Vegetarian Star

Congress, listen up!

There’s no reason Democrats and Republicans can’t come together for the good of the country. Vegan Steve-O proves that a Jackass has no problem siding with an elephant.

The comedian and actor from the infamous series involving horrendous stunts on camera, Jackass, has expressed his thoughts on an elephant housed in the Edmonton Zoo in Canada, Lucy.

Mad Men‘s Vincent Kartheiser is the kind guy you can’t help but admire for his green attitude. He spends very little time in a personal vehicle, doesn’t want to procreate and empties his vegetarian digestive system of the 3-bean, brown rice, tofu, kale and spinach in a 7-grain tortilla wrap into his neighbor’s toilet to save water.

And this guy loves fast trains.

But there’s more.

Kartheiser is happy to spread the word and let others know how they can measure their carbon footprint.

During a recent interview with Good.is, Kartheiser discussed using carbon calculators.

“I try to do a little of what I can in my life to reduce my impact. A lot of people do. Maybe they’re vegetarians. Maybe they don’t have a lawn. Maybe they don’t drive their car all the time. There’s this website where you can check your carbon footprint. [Ed note: We’ve always been partial to this carbon calculator from University of California, Berkeley.] You put in what your gas bill was, what kind of car and how many miles you drive, if you’re a vegetarian, and so on.”

Here’s your chance to get an eco-friendly candle autographed by a vegetarian celebrity and help out a good cause.

Vegetarian Esai Morales and several other celebrities have autographed several flameless candles produced by Enjoy Lighting that are being auctioned off for charity.

Three candles containing autographs from well known Hollywood figures such as Jayde Nicole, Terell Owens and Chaz Bono will be available to bid on from now until Sunday, March 20th at Auctioncause.com and all proceeds benefit Stand Up 2 Cancer.

Ran on batteries and powered by LED light sources, flameless candles provide an excellent alternative to soot burning ones for both safety and environmental purposes.

With a genuine wax exterior, the candles provide the beauty of burning ones but will not produce soot that contains carcinogens like toluene and benzene.

If you follow Forest Whitaker, you know he had to shed that 70 pounds of extra baggage he put on for The Last King of Scotland, a film which earned him an Oscar in 2007.

Forest has been following a vegetarian diet for years, but he found cutting back on many processed foods, especially soy, helped the cause.

In other words: Forest cut the vegan junk food!

“I cut all the soy out and it changed everything… I just wanted to take care of myself,” Forest said.

Faux meats and cheeses are no doubt delicious, but YES, there is such a thing as too much of a good thing. But is soy itself to blame for the vegan Santa Clause look? Not necessarily, says Dr. Andrew Weil, healthy living expert.

If Steve-O wanted to start writing his own vegan cookbook, he’d already have two recipes that would knock his fans’ socks off.

His ideas for breakfast and lunch were shared with The Edmonton Journal, and they’re definitely suited for the simple cook in all of us.

“Generally in the morning I make a mixture of whole grain cereal with almond milk and a slice of banana on it. And about once a day I’ll eat a whole pack of Tofurky. I love that stuff, man. I’ll just eat it right out of the pack with mustard.”

Cruelty to animals bites.

That’s why Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder is doing his best to put his teeth into those who abuse them through a new campaign at Change.org.

The campaign was created by Somerhalder’s foundation, the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which the actor founded to draw awareness to environmental and animal issues. It seeks to reform The Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act in British Columbia, some parts of which have not been revised in 100 years.

The ancient laws provide no regulation for businesses that work with animals. It was a recently infamous incident involving an employee that helped shoot and kill 100 sled dogs because tourism was slow that motivated Somerhalder.

Vincent Kartheiser has already greened his life by taking the bus or train instead of a car, eating vegetarian and using his neighbor’s john.

Now Kartheiser and his Mad Men co-star Rich Sommer are starring in a PSA for high-speed rail that was created by the public-interest advocacy group U.S. PIRG.

The video is set to debut this Wednesday, March 9, but U.S. PIRG posted a teaser on their Facebook page last week.

The clip shows Kartheiser and Sommer in the Mad Men 1965 setting discussing the possibility of high-speed trains.

“The reality is if you eat live, organic food–mostly non-processed, non-animal raised–you’re not only working on the environment but your own inner environment will benefit greatly. Eat the diet Adam and Eve were designed to eat.”

—Esai Morales, actor known for his roles in NYPD Blue, Jericho and Capria during an interview at Global Green’s pre-Oscar party.

Someone trying to sell you the idea that you can’t get the nutrition you need from plants? Or that animal products can’t harm your health? Meet the Adam and Eve lying serpent of 2011. Don’t be fooled by a snake oil salesman!
