Vegetarian Star

He wants them. He wants them so bad. It’s driving him mad, it’s driving him mad.

Paul McCartney has posted a video on his official website inviting fans to submit their recipes for a chance to be added to the Linda McCartney line of vegetarian foods, a brand founded by his late wife. The winner will also get some face time in everyone’s kitchen, as their photo will be placed on the package with the winning dish.

To enter, simply fill out the form on the website and upload any photos. Every week, favorites will be selected like American Idol. The three finalists will be selected this month and people will then vote on the three finalists.

Barilla Pasta has announced it’s switching to cage-free eggs for 45% of its eggs by the end of 2011, Treehugger reports.

A cage-free environment allows the hen to do many of its natural behaviors, such as nesting and spreading wings, and therefore is said to lessen stress on the animal. Just imagine yourself not being able to scratch that area or, ahem, adjust yourself when the moment is right because you share space so cramped with other humans.

Some good veg things don’t last forever, and the same is true when some restaurants put vegetarian or vegan items on the menu.

Chipotle is pulling the vegan burrito filling from most of its Los Angeles locations, according to Quarry Girl, citing lack of demand.

On a good note, however, is the fact that Subway is and has been offering falafel in the Chicago area since September.

In an effort to curb a high rate of obesity among children in the San Francisco area, some sources which cite is as high as 30% among 5th graders in the city, the city handed down some guidelines to area McDonalds on how they could serve toys with Happy Meals.

Starting in December 2011, toys can only be included if the meals contain less than 600 calories, less than 640 mg of sodium and less than 35 percent of calories in the meals could come from fat (less than 10 percent from saturated fat).

Daily Show correspondent Aasif Mandvi points out that keeping toys out of Happy Meals is a bad thing, considering they are the most nutritious part of the meal. The newly named “Crappy Meals” in the video contain educational information like the Periodic Table and a plastic figure of Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius who gives sobering stats on the state of children’s health.

Yeah, pretty blah. It’s much more impressive if kids get a McCruelty Unhappy Meal featuring knife-wielding Ronald McDonald, bloodied chickens and a kaleidoscope of mutilated animals. Now, THAT’S how you solve childhood obesity.

“Because of the first step in yoga, Ahimsa, non-harming. The greatest cause of human karma is abuse of the ten billion farm animals that exists at all times. And then also the greatest cause of global warming, [meat] and dairy uses more oil than anybody but the army. You go to war over meat because it is the second largest use of oil. It also drains our resources, like our water, more than anything.”
