Vegetarian Star

Jorge Garcia

Who says a New Year’s celebration is not the same without cheeseburger mini-sliders?

Jorge Garcia, former “Lost” actor who went vegetarian for animal rights, took to his blog to show off pictures of his vegetarian sloppy joe mix that he finished off with churros and wine.

“New Years at our house is usually pretty quiet. Dinner is always Sloppy Joe’s and Tater Tots. But this past New Year’s Eve night we made two batches of Joe. Because I had mine meatless.”

Can you tell from the picture which one is Jorge’s?

Joshua Gomez, who plays Chuck’s co-worker Morgan Grimes on the NBC television series about a computer store geek who accidentally downloads government secrets to his brain, “Chuck,” is a vegetarian in real life.

So when it came time to devour the meatball sub sandwich from Subway presented to him during a scene on “Chuck  Vs. The Leftovers,” we got a little nervous when he was about to chow down. Was the sandwich stuffed with wheatballs instead? Luckily (or perhaps a little unluckily for Morgan), his dinner is interrupted by an unexpected customer carrying a weapon.

Subway doesn’t offer much for vegans except a Veggie Delight with no cheese on Italian bread. If you’d like to see that change, maybe you should look into Compassion Over Killing’s “We Love Subway” campaign.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t worried about looking good for the nude scenes in “Love and Other Drugs” because he’s been eating a diet filled with plenty of fresh vegetables from his own garden.

“I don’t follow a special diet but I try and eat well, so I grow my own vegetables,” Gyllenhaal said.

The next best thing to growing your own is buying veggies from a neighbor or local community garden. San Francisco’s mayor and the city’s planning department has just introduced an ordinance to permit gardens in all areas of the city and to allow sale of veggies from that garden.

Leonardo DiCaprio has donated $1 million dollars to the World Wildlife Fund, a conservation organization that has been working to protect species and their habitats for almost five decades.

The money donated by DiCaprio is to help save tigers, a species the WWF estimates only 3,200 exist in the wild, compared to 100,000 a hundred years ago.

DiCaprio also attended the five day conference in St. Petersburg, Russia, the International Forum on Tiger Conservation, designed to create a plan to stop activities that are responsible for the animals’ decline, such as poaching and destruction of habitat.

“Illegal poaching of tigers for their parts and massive habitat loss due to palm oil, timber and paper production are driving this species to extinction,” said DiCaprio.

Billy Bob Thornton is living in the Year of the Raw. Wait, isn’t 2010 the Year of the Tiger? Yes, but it’s Billy’s year to eat healthy in an attempt to balance other nasty activities he does like smoking.

Consuming a diet of what he describes as “beyond vegan,” the actor follows a strict raw diet of fruits, vegetables, and plant proteins, but he alternates that with eating “regular stuff.”

Neil Patrick Harris was a guest on the “The Talk” to discuss his experiences with parenting. The actor and his partner, through the help of a surrogate, are the parents of twins.

With vegan Sara Gilbert and the other ladies of The Talk, Harris explains how he rejected Gilbert’s unconventional advice to raise vegan kids and not vaccinate them.

“You’re a crazy, granola person,” Harris says to Gilbert. “Not to vaccinate for ages and feed them certain weird foods,” he continues when asked what Gilbert recommended, ending with, “You’re a crazy vegan.”

Speaking of vaccinations, the issue over whether a parent should refuse to vaccinate a school attending child is not solely one related to the potential health consequences of the vaccine. Vegetarians and vegans may find vaccines against their principles as some of the formulas have contained animal and even human components to them.

The MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine contains live strains of the virus that is grown in chick embryo cells and then added to a mixture that contains other animal and human cells (gelatin, human albumin, fetal bovine serum).

Yet, another ethical quandary is the use of human fetal tissue in other vaccines.
