Vegetarian Star

Veg man Samuel L. Jackson recently revealed his secret to staying trim and lean.

The actor who has appeared in films such as Pulp Fiction, Shaft, and Star Wars says he eats a variety of salads, according to celebrity chef Nikki Shaw.

Shaw has graciously posted a salad recipe on MomLogic.com, a Spinach Confetti Veggie Salad.

“Be very careful: “salads” can be deceiving!” Shaw warns. “If you’re choosing to eat salads to keep the pounds off, watch out for those delicious high-calorie dressings and fattening toppings. Lower calorie dressings like vinaigrette, Italian, or good ole olive oil and balsamic vinegar are better choices.”

Whip up a salad that would make Samuel proud with Shaw’s recipe below.

SPINACH CONFETTI & VEGGIE SALAD (Makes 4 servings)

1 6-ounce bag of fresh baby spinach leaves
½ cup tomatoes, diced
½ cup yellow bell pepper, diced
½ cup carrots, diced
½ cup mushrooms, diced
½ cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing

1. Place spinach, tomatoes, yellow bell pepper, carrots, and mushrooms in a large bowl.
2. Drizzle dressing on salad and lightly toss.

He must be the face people don’t want to forget because for the second year in a row vegetarian actor Russell Brand has been chosen to host the MTV Music Awards on September 13, 2009 at 9PM EST.

Last year, Russell gained laughs from his many host antics, including poking fun at the Jonas brothers, and he promises to maintain his outrageous reputation.

“This year will be a controversy-free festival of love and discrete orgasms,” Brand said, according to mtv.com.

The Forgetting Sarah Marshall actor is known for his personal bad boy behavior as well as his professional humor.

He was forced to resign from the British Broadcasting Channel after making a series of on air prank phone calls to the home of actor Andrew Sachs and has claimed he slept with as many as 80 women a month.

Writer, producer, and actor Mike White, who’s film credits include Nacho Libre and School of Rock, has recorded a brand spanking new vegetarian testimonial.

Mike’s “piggy-looking” dog is one of the reasons he decided to stop eating meat and become vegan.

“I would look at him and I’d think, ‘You know, I cannot eat pig anymore’. And besides is my dog really all that different from a pig on a factory farm? They both have their own lives and big personalities and most importantly, the same capacity to feel pain.”

Woody Harrelson converted someone to vegetarianism, if only temporary.

During the filming of an upcoming film, Zombieland, Woody convinced director Ruben Fleischer to eat vegetarian during the duration of the shoot.

“The script is fantastic,” Jesse Einsenberg, who plays Columbus, told altpress.com. “Of course the premise is silly-there’s no way to describe it without sounding silly-but the script is great. It’s really wonderful and unique, and the characters are fantastic. Woody Harrelson is in it, and the director agreed to become a vegetarian for the duration of the shoot because Woody Harrelson is vegan.”

And let’s give it up for the environmentally friendly set.

“The set is pretty eco-friendly, actually. We recycle a lot onset, which is good, because movies are a very wasteful industry.”

Zombieland is set to the premise that after America is ravaged by a zombie plague, the few lone survivors run from the living dead, arriving at a theme park they believe to be safe.

This lovely photograph captures Owen Wilson and Woody Harrelson vacationing in Italy on a raft titled, “Wet and Wild.”

The pic conjures up all sorts of ideas in our minds, but one that particularly sticks out is what the two boys are saying to each other in the tangle.

Given the fact Owen was spotted getting takeout at a popular vegan restaurant, and now he’s hanging out with the fanatical raw vegan foodie Harrelson, seeing the two of them together makes us (wishfully) think Woody might have given Owen “the talk”…about going veg.

Since vegetarianism and veganism are ongoing dialogues, they could possibly (alright, very remotely) have been talking about the veg life at that very moment!

But what do you think they’re saying to each other?

Tobey Maguire is getting into the game of improving school lunches, much like Wyntergrace Williams and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone.

The vegetarian actor recently wrote a letter to U.S. Representative Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and U.S. Senator Tom Harkin (D-Iowa), urging lawmakers to reexamine the standards set by the Child Nutrition Act (CNA). The legislation — initially passed in 1966 – is up for Congressional re-authorization this fall, giving lawmakers a wonderful opportunity to make changes.

Changes such as making schools stop serving beef nachos everyday and put veggie burgers on the menu.

Tobey cited a recent article by the Chicago Tribune, which revealed that Chicago public schools serve beef nachos everyday because the federal government’s commodity foods program “dumps surplus beef on schools across the country.”

“School is tough enough already — students shouldn’t have to put up with lunches swimming in fat and cholesterol,” Tobey wrote.

Tobey suggests that vegetarian meals may even costs schools less while getting children in shape.

“Being overweight can be a miserable experience for children. It affects their grades and sets them up to be unhealthy adults.”

“Higher rates of obesity, heart disease and diabetes mean greater healthcare costs for everyone. Healthy foods can help prevent those problems, so federal dollars spent on better school meals are a smart investment.”

If you’re interested in taking Tobey’s lead, contact your legislators and write to them.
