Vegetarian Star

Ladies we know you don’t get enough of your naked men from PETA, but here’s a little something to satisfy.

Carey Hart, ex-husband to singer Pink, has recently teamed up with PETA to raise awareness of using fur in fashion by inviting you to consider wearing your own permanent coat-of tattoos.

“No one’s expecting you to be the perfect citizen…just living consciously [as much as you can].”

Hart got into animal rights through Pink, and the two of them own three dogs.

“It’s just ridiculous, you know?” he says of the fur industry. “It’s like you’re gonna destroy animals so that you can look cool in the nightclubs or you can look cool walking down the street in New York. You know I don’t get behind that. I think it’s very petty and very shallow. And then once I saw the investigation and the actual process it just disgusted me.”

You can view the video of Hart talking more about animals, fur, and looking hot at peta.org.

When Milwaukee Brewers Prince Fielder went vegetarian last year, the media swarmed him with interview questions about his diet so much, he jokingly told Yahoo Sports, theirs was the last veggie related interview he was doing.

Luckily he agreed, so after finding some old food voyeurism for you, we thought you’d might like to listen to his opinions on a few recipes. What do you think? Could food critic be in the future after retirement from a professional sports career?

He gave input on dishes like Pesto Pasta Toss, Tandoori Paneer Tikka, and Egyptian Koshari. Here’s what he thought of Roasted Ratatouille with Basil Aioli:

“I’ve seen the movie, but I’ve never ate it. I’ve always wondered what it was. I’d probably try it, although I’m not sure about the eggplant … I don’t like eggplant, it gets to me. I like the taste, but then I get like that saliva throw-up aftertaste in my mouth, you know what I’m talking about? Eggplant is good for you though, so I’ll put that as a maybe. It depends how I’m feeling.”

Grab the recipes and read what Prince thinks of other dishes.

Health fads come and go, some healthy, some dangerous. And some downright disgusting.

Luke Cummo, Ultimate Fighting Competitor, practices “urine recycling.”

If you’ve already had lunch, you might want to read this post later. If you haven’t had lunch yet, hey, we might save you some money today.

Urine recycling is simply drinking one’s own urine. It supposedly brings out the champion better than any Wheaties could.

In L. Jon Werthem’s new book, Blood in the Cage: Mixed Martial Arts, Pat Miletich, and the Furious Rise of the UFC, Cummo is quoted as saying:

“I drink my own urine. I had my last meal last night and then I continually drink my urine. Eventually when I poop—you know, when I do No.2—all that comes out is urine. Then I know my digestive system is completely empty.”

In the old days, Luke would fancy up his urine a bit, giving it a Starbucks speciality drink quality by adding condiments.

“At first I used to put some honey in it, heat it up and drink it like a tea. But now I just drink it fresh. That’s when it’s most delicious.”

Cummo, who has been experimenting with a raw vegan diet for almost a decade, like others who practice the alternative medicinal therapy, does so because he believes it provides health benefits.

No one said anything about breath benefits.

Add another celebrity who likes strange sounding food to the list. Professional skateboarder Danny Garcia is into Squash Blossom Pizza.

“It’s like the flowers from a squash plant,” Garcia told ES Footwear, speaking of the pie he ate at chef Mario Batali’s restaurant. “On top of the pizza with the cheese and stuff. They are kinda sweet. It was good.”

He started off being vegan for a couple of months, then decided it was too hard. Now he sticks to pescetarianism.

“It just turned into a habit where I do not want or crave red meat now. I don’t even think about it. I’m looking at a menu or making food, it’s not even on my mind. It’s pretty much habitual now.”

Which makes you wonder why his favorite Food Network Show is Bobby Flay, king of putting every animal on the grill, with the occasional plant here and there.

Vega training: part one of four from Brendan Brazier on Vimeo.

Brendan Brazier is a vegan Ironman triathlete who invented the Vega nutrition and energy products-completely plant based items that he started making as young as 15 years of age.

He met up with cartoonist and fellow vegan Dan Piraro one day who revealed that when he’s stuck in a creative rut, it helps to go on a long bike ride to get the ideas flowing again.

Brazier receives similar mental charges after running.

“I find it is really helpful when I go for a run,” he said. “I wrote most of The Thrive Diet while I was running. All of the ideas and the thoughts would seem to organize themselves, and when I got home, I would write them down.”

A component of his new book, Thrive Fitness: Mental and Physical Strength for Life, is teaching how exercises like “biking, hiking, in-line skating, rowing, running, speed skating, swimming, and brisk walking” fuel your right brain and release your creativity side.

Take a look at the video Brazier filmed about Vega. You’ll find it comforting to know he eats his own products, chowing down on an energy bar.

Now if you’ll excuse us, we need to go on a hike before posting again.

Professional motocross racer Adam Jones played the role of smart-aleck recently.

The History Channel is hosting Armageddon week and Ryan Leyba at ESPN wanted to get Jones’ opinion on how the world will come to an end.

Leyba: I’d like to think that it’s going to rain hot dogs, pizza and candy and everyone is going to eat themselves to death.

Jones: Well if hot dogs, pizza and candy fell from the sky the only way the world would end is if we had a massive celebration until we ate so much pizza and hot dogs our hearts stopped beating.

Of course then some vegan burgers would also have to fall from the sky to kill all our non-carnivorous friends.

Not sure if Adam thinks gorging on vegan burgers produces the same health effect as the real thing or not. Maybe he just thinks they’ll fall from the sky and knock us on the head. 

If given the choice between death by heart failure from hot dogs or vegan burgers knocking you out cold, a vegan burger asteroid has got to be the better option. It’s quick, painless, and you’ll never know what hit you.

It doesn’t matter anyway, because according to Jones, Joaquin Phoenix and Mel Gibson, who would normally be around to save us, will be absent and the aliens will eat us.

All the more reason to be killed by a falling vegan burger. We hear cannibalistic death is horrible.

A few years ago, Dennis Rodman wasn’t even wearing a jersey when he agreed to do an anti-fur ad for PETA.

So why are we talking about a retired basketball player famous for dressing in bridal gowns who got naked over three years ago? Because he’s back in the limelight as one of the contestants on Donald Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice.

Rodman, along with other celebs like Tom Green and recently fur shunning Khloe Kardashian, will have the pleasurable experience of being humiliated by the world’s greatest real estate investor who also holds the title for the World’s Worst Hairdo.

Rodman has already broken boundaries outside of the boardroom. He was the first man that had enough balls to get naked and almost show his…well you know.

There are rumors that he sometimes followed a vegetarian diet, but it’s definitely been confirmed he detests the use of fur in fashion.

According to Contact Music, Rodman said, “furriers have pushed free furs” on him over the years, and he’s always refused. He even said that he was always embarrassed when an ex-wife wore furs.

With a set of ethics like those, there’s no reason why the former NBA bad boy shouldn’t be “hired.”

If you bleed Gatorade, there’s a chance you might be at tonight’s FedEx BCS National Championship Game of Florida against Oklahoma. Best of luck to ya!

Before the game, how about filling your belly with food from Sublime restaurant, located in Fort Lauderdale. The owner, Nanci Alexander, who also happens to be an animal rights activist, will serve up some delicious meat-free fine dining that’s perfect for some tailgate or after game grub.

Choose from tofu caviar, pizza with soy mozzarella cheese, or “Steak” sandwich made from Gardein protein substitute, among other items on the menu.

Her restaurant was on PETA’s top eight veggie establishments, so you know it’s got to be good. Plus, with celebrity visits from folks like Paul McCartney, Pamela Anderson, and Bob Barker, you know it’s star approved.
