Quantcast Vegetarian StarActresses (96)

Cloris Leachman says being vegetarian is so great for her body scent, not even the stress from the camera spotlight gives her a need to wipe under the armpits.

“If you don’t eat meat, you don’t smell… I don’t ever wear a deodorant,” Leachman said.

Whoa, there, Cloris. Did your Dancing with the Stars partner agree that carrots did that part of the body good?

So there is at least one study showing the female species enjoyed the sweat from the vegetarian male armpits more than a meat eater’s.

And mainstream deodorants may be tested on animals and contain ingredients that are sourced from animals or that are harmful to humans and the environment. But that doesn’t mean you have to adhere to the granola eating, no deodorant (and maybe even hairy armpit) stereotype.

Kirsten Vangsness plays Penelope Garcia, the technical analyst of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit on Criminal Minds with a warm and quirky personality that has a knack for finding all the right answers quickly.

Vangsness told Mother Nature Network about her green activities on the set of Criminal Minds, which include installing a water filter instead of using plastic bottles. She is almost a full time vegetarian, eating wild caught fish occasionally.

Wild fish beat their farmed counterparts in many areas of nutrition and eco-friendliness. They have more usable omega-3 fatty acids, less fat, are packaged without the use of artificial dyes to the flesh and come with less pesticides and environmentally destructive chemicals found at  higher levels in farmed fish like endocrine disrupting flame-retardant additives.

Inspired by Lady Gaga’s meat attire, Private Practice actress Kate Walsh showed up for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno dressed in fish attire. From rings of sushi to prawn on the feet, Walsh dressed head to toe in imitation pieces of seafood. For the non-fish eating vegetarians, Walsh also stuck a few pieces of edamame on her body. There were no overfished species on the outfit, however, as she told the crowd.

“These are all totally sustainable fish, by the way. There’s no bluefin on here.”

Bluefin may be a popular fish used in sushi, but it’s being fished to extinction. Some have suggested replacing bluefin with Almaco jack, also known as kahala. Kahala is a distant relative of bluefin, but without the reddish hue and reproduces constantly throughout the year without hormones or environmental manipulations.

“It’s kind of shocking to think that the FDA would allow over 1,500 cancer-causing carcinogens in our beauty and body care products. So I stay with a ‘keep it simple’ rule of thumb. I use a pure cacao (raw chocolate) oil on my body and hair, and [a] olive-oil-based salve on my face. Vegan biodegradable soap by Dr. Bronner.”

Darryl Hannah,on putting products that are just as healthy on her body and she puts in. The Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetics Database allows you to search for products by brand or type and take a closer look at the ingredients.

Former Miss Panama Patricia De Leon conducted a Q & A session with PETA on the atrocities of killing bulls in Spain for tradition. The Catalonia region has already outlawed bullfighting, but in other parts of the country, there is still more work to be done.

“We have so many beautiful traditions in our culture. Beautiful stuff. Why identify our culture by killing?” De Leon asks.

While most people are familiar with bullfighting, some may not have heard of the equally brutal “El Toro de la Vega,” footage of which can be viewed below.

Whitney Port, narrator and cast member of The City and known for her role in The Hills, discovered even a restaurant known for its burgers can whip up something creative sans flesh.

Port dined with friends at Bill’s Bar & Burger in New York, but while her company ate burgers and wings, Port reportedly enjoyed the veggie burger without sauce.

Does this mean Port’s not a fan of roasted red pepper? Cause we sure are and think some homemade pepper sauciness would go great over a homemade veggie burger.

The Market Veggie Burger on Bill’s Menu contains lettuce, tomato, Swiss cheese and roasted red pepper sauce.
