Meatless Mouthful: Alicia Silverstone Makes Best VEG Choices

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, October 16th, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink, Meatless Mouthful.

Alicia Silverstone - 'The Kind Diet: A Simple Guide To Feeling Great, Losing Weight and Saving The Plant' Signing

“Well, I never crave non-vegan foods, because vegan foods are so delicious. When I’m out and there are no vegetarian foods available, then I just make the best choices I can. Sometimes, it’s to eat nothing at all, or I’ll have the least offensive thing. Maybe there’s a salad with goat cheese, or potato salad with a little mayo. That’s what it’s about — making the best choices under all circumstances.”

—-Alicia Silverstone, at thatsfit.com, on making the best choices when you don’t always have vegan available.

Are there certain items you compromise on when you can’t eat the way you prefer? Will you allow mayonnaise on a veg sandwich? Mono and diglycerides from a source you can’t confirm? How do you determine what’s appropriate for your vegan diet?

A behind the scenes look at the photo shoot for Alicia Silverstone‘s The Kind Diet vegan lifestyle book.

Everyone gets the star studded treatment in this clip-even a carrot!

The camera also catches delicious desserts, fresh produce, and recipes in the making. Looks like one clip captured a bowl with leftover dough or batter.

Time to lick that bowl like there’s no risk of salmonella from eating raw eggs!

Watch the clip to also catch a glimpse of Alicia’s hottie rocker husband, Christopher.

Gobble, gobble, gobble have you found the perfect tofu turkey recipe yet?

Ginnifer Goodwin has teamed up with Farm Sanctuary to launch their Adopt-a-Turkey program.

The Big Love star is participating in the program that was designed to end the practice of commercially raised turkeys that are slaughtered in masses annually.

About 45 million turkeys are slaughtered in the U.S. for Thanksgiving each year, according to the Farm Sanctuary website.

“After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary’s shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home, I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms,” said Goodwin.

“With so many delicious, cruelty-free Thanksgiving dishes available, there is no reason why any living being should be treated like an unfeeling commodity. I encourage everyone to start a new, compassionate Thanksgiving tradition this year and Adopt-A-Turkey, rather than eat one.”

For a one time donation of $25, you can adopt a turkey living at Farm Sanctuary and receive an adoption certificate in your name or donate sponsorships as gifts to families and friends.

Natalie Portman Vegan Jonathan Safran Foer “Eating Animals”

Love And Other Impossible Pursuits Premiere - 34th Annual Toronto International Film Festival

Although Tobey Maguire had convinced Natalie Portman to go vegan for awhile last year, from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal in Interview magazine, Natalie gave hints that she still might do the dairy.

However, a recent interview with the La Times confirms Natalie is indeed vegan, thanks to reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s upcoming book, Eating Animals.

“There are certain things you can have different opinions on, but then other things, like torturing animals, [are] just wrong,” Natalie said and added she planned to become more outspoken on animal rights.

During the interview, Natalie was even munching on a soy cheese sandwich.

Ah, there’s no better way to show activism that by edible  example.

Natalie’s latest film, Kosher Vegetarian, premieres tomorrow October 16.

Alicia Silverstone joined the ladies of The View to discuss her newly released vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Silverstone was looking hot as ever and the pictures of the food that flashed on the screen behind them were mouthwatering.

Joy Behar got some laughs when she asked Silverstone “What’s your idea of a “mean” diet?”

“I do cover that in the book,” Silverstone says, which she describes as “the nasty foods” like processed sugar, meat and dairy.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 in Actors, Actresses, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.

"Tanner Hall" Screening - 2009 Toronto International Film Festival

Amy Ferguson was asked at the Toronto Film Festival what the last favor she asked someone was.

“Three days ago I asked Woody Harrelson to come to the World Peace Yoga Conference,” Ferguson answered, according to InStyle magazine.

Since Woody is one of Hollywood’s prime yoga boys, he must have at least seriously considered.

The World Peace Yoga Conference takes places in Loveland, Ohio in the greater Cinncinati area from October 23 through October 25.

This event is for more than just those who enjoy the pretzel positions.

The conference brings together a love for the environment, food and animal activism.

Delicious vegan food will be served while you have the chance to hear noted vegan authors and speakers discuss foodie topics such as cooking and gardening.

You may also take advantage of the environmental classes to learn how you can help fight global warming and poverty.

David Life, co founder of the popular Jivamukti Yoga School and Cafe said:

“Care enough about the world to become peace-filled in Love-land! The World Peace Yoga Conference is the best idea of the millennium. This is an opportunity for all of us to show that we care enough about world peace to take the first step ourselves. Yoga means “you do it!” You don’t wait for someone else to be compassionate, you do it. You don’t wait for someone else to create peace, you create it- find out how, by attending the World Peace Yoga Conference.”

Registration ends on October 16, so reserve your spot now at worldpeaceyogaconference.com.

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 in Actresses, Cosmetics And Beauty Products.

Celebrities at the 6th Annual Hollywood Style Awards in Los Angeles, CA

Pamela Anderson‘s animal friendly fragrance, Malibu, is set to hit the shelves in stores November 2009.

Malibu will be available in CVS Pharmacy, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Sears and Overstock.com and will feature a holiday gift set option with body lotion, shower gel and a purse-friendly mini-bottle.

The 1.7 ounce will cost $39 and the 3.4 ounce spray will cost for $49.

Pamela spoke to the Sun-Sentinel from her home over the phone about the upcoming fragrance.

SS: Is it true that Malibu fragrance is just the start of your own skin care roll-out of products? Are you planning on taking over the beauty field?
PA: “It’s the first of many products – sun care, of course; bubbles, lotions, potions…and emotions…Not the entire beauty field – just the hot ones.”

SS: Describe your Malibu life that the fragrance evokes?
PA: “Beachy, just woke up, get your kids to school look and still get into trouble now and then. Hot for boyfriend.”

SS: You’re such an animal activist. Are you sure your new fragrance wasn’t tested on cute little bunnies or mice?
PA: “Hell no. Not even ugly bunnies or mice.”
