Jennie Garth is hosting a regular segment on iVillage called Garden Party, where a different vegetable is featured every month.

Jennie hosted a lettuce party where she encouraged children to make artwork from salads and says the best way to get kids eating healthier is to get them involved with growing veggies in the garden.

Jennie recently featured lettuce and gave a few tips for growing it.

She says lettuce heads should be started indoors and then transferred to the garden at about 11 weeks.

“Leaf lettuce needs to be spaced at least 8 inches apart, but head lettuce needs at leasts a foot. So get a-head and start thinking about growing lettuce with your kids.”

It’s all about a shift in perspective. The more I learned about the beauty of a plant-based diet, the more my mind and heart opened up. Your journey will help change the world. What you eat not only improves your health—it benefits the entire planet.”

“Lost” Rebecca Mader Returns The Room Service Chicken

2009 Unicef Ball

Is Lost actress Rebecca Mader thinking of going vegetarian?

After watching Food Inc., the actress tells Mother Nature Network she found it hard to eat chicken.

“I had just ordered chicken from room service and I couldn’t eat it,” she said, adding that the movie “really changed the way I look at food. With corn syrup being in everything, I’m starting to look at packages and trying to eat more basic, real food.”

Chances of Rebecca giving up animals for food are good, given the fact she was never a Big Mac five times a week gal anyway.

“I was never really a big meat eater and since seeing Food, Inc. I haven’t eaten out very much at all. And if I have it’s been in organic restaurants.”

It’s completely free of any meat and dairy, including Ginnifer’s former vice–cheese.

“For most of my life I lived on cheeseburgers, macaroni and cheese, and pizza,” Ginnifer says on the site.

“I just KNEW that “I absolutely, positively could never give up cheese.” Not only was I absolutely, positively wrong about myself, but now two of my four parents have gone vegan. They see the impact a plant-based diet has had on my life and want to live more healthfully and happily, too.”

Ginnifer is a champion for converting two of her parents to veganism.

Can’t wait to see her convert all the parents on Big Love to a meat and dairy free diet as well.

Calvin Klein Collection & LAND's 1st Annual Celebration For ALAC

Ginnifer Goodwin appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live where she discussed how her diet is a lot different from what she ate growing up.

Goodwin said she used to work in a barbecue restaurant in her hometown of Memphis, Tennessee and although she can still remember the smell, something she nicknamed “Eau de Memphis,” these days she prefers barbecue sauce on tofu instead of ribs.

Kimmel joked that was the reason Goodwin had to leave Memphis.

Of course, any Memphis vegetarian knows there’s no shortage of good tasting meatless food in the south!

Goodwin starred in Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey PSA and told Kimmel she was the  Turkey Ambassatrist.

Sounds like an exciting job to have!

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Videos.

An advertisement for an Australian based Internet company featuring Pamela Anderson has been banned by Australia’s Advertising Standards Bureau.

The ad features Anderson talking to a male co-worker when suddenly the male co-worker starts to fantasize about Pamela and another woman drenched in milk.

Supervegan questioned Pamela for starring in an ad containing dairy, given the fact she is such an staunch animal rights advocate.

However, Pamela could have requested soy milk or she may very well have a body double.

Take a look and decide for yourself.

Are these two hot women being covered with phytoestrogen juice?
