Vegetarian Star

Betty White will make an appearance at Binn’s in Williamsburgh, Virginia on October 16th, 2010 to sign hand crafted ornaments called The Pet Set. The event will occur right before a fundraiser to raise money for the Morris Animal Foundation in the Virginia Room of the Williamsburg Lodge at 7 PM.

White has supported the foundation for years, which funds research to treat and cure conditions in household pets, zoo animals and other wildlife.

Ironically, one of the recent studies Morris Animal Foundation has completed on dog bite education received by physicians and veterinarians, was funded by Proctor and Gamble, a company that still conducts animal testing for its line of cosmetic and household products like Olay, Crest and Pampers.

“I’m not (a vegetarian) but I will have to be because on the ship, it’s a vegan ship – you can’t be a hypocrite; you can’t be sitting there trying to save animals and then killing them. That’s just weird.”

—Michelle Rodriguez, on eating vegan while she accompanies Sea Shepherd on their upcoming anti-whaling mission.

Who’s says the only good tasting green dip is guacamole?

Kristen Bell enjoys a dip made from edamame, an immature form of the soybean still in the pod.

She told Shape, “My friend, Chef Renée Loux, created a low-calorie substitute for guacamole that’s so satisfying,” she says. “It’s just edamame, olive oil, rice vinegar, and salt.”

This dip packs an impressive 10 grams of protein per 1/2 cup serving. The recipe calls for frozen edamame, which is packaged by well known organic companies like Cascadian Farm or Woodstock Farms brands.

Kristen Bell "Shape" Magazine

Kristen Bell is on the cover of the September 2010 issue of Shape.

The magazine interviewed the vegetarian actress who gave her 30 rules to live by that include growing her own organic herbs and vegetables, using eco-friendly handbags and avoiding dairy with the occasional “cheat.”

Tip 24 is to “splurge wisely,” and for Bell, that means spending her money on sustainable fashion for a good cause.

“I don’t mind paying a bit more for things made with sustainable materials,” Bell said. “I love FEED bags by Ellen Gustafson and Lauren Bush [from $60; feedprojects.com]. They’re eco-friendly, and most of the proceeds go to feeding and educating children around the world.”

Renee Olstead and her dog Ella Fitzgerald sat down with Peta2 and discussed vegetarianism, dog fighting and dissecting animals.

Olstead got motivated to go vegetarian on the set of a sitcom where a character’s lines reminded her of what she was actually eating when she sat down for a burger.

“I was on a sitcom when I was about 12. And they had this one line where one of the characters was vegetarian and she said, ‘No thanks, I don’t eat anything with a face.’ And I just turned white. From that moment I suddenly realized that what I was eating was alive and had a mother and breathed; and it suddenly became so appalling.”

The video of the interview with the Secret Life of the American Teenager actress can be viewed below.
