Vegetarian Star

It’s a bear. It’s a boy. It’s a baby. Actually, it’s all three.

Alicia Silverstone and her husband Christopher Jarecki are now parents of a baby boy the couple named Bear Blu Jarecki. When he gets older, this bear may choose not to eat honey though, because his parents have been proud vegans for years.

Jamie Oliver appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live with the superintendent from the Los Angeles Unified School District, John Deasy. The two made the announcement that starting next fall, flavored milks like chocolate and strawberry will no longer be served at schools because of their sugar content.

“There’s more sugar per ounce in flavored milk than there is in a can of soda,” Oliver said. “If you think about a little 4-year old to an 18-year old [drinking this] sometimes twice a day–just flavored milk–in their time at school and then you’re worried about diabetes?”

There is a slight catch to the deal though. If the school system can find flavored milks without added sugar, it may reintroduce them back into the cafeterias. And unfortunately, there is still not enough talk about adding a non-dairy beverage to school menus like rice, almond or soy.

Oliver and Deasy can be viewed below.

Gwyneth Paltrow disgusted her vegetarian fans when she, a former strict macrobiotic vegan, gradually put meat back into her diet and filled her website Goop.com with recipes for fish, chicken and Thanksgiving turkey burgers.

Luckily, her daughter Apple isn’t interested in following in mom’s footsteps, and declared at a very early age to hold the turkey and replace it with tofu.

In the world of vegetarian/vegan moms and their babies, we almost missed one more veg mom bringing a child into the world in 2011.

Martha Stewart‘s vegetarian daughter, Alexis Stewart, recently welcomed a baby via a surrogate.

Alexis, who recorded a PSA urging people to adopt turkeys and not eat them, and her mother are probably looking forward to all the joys a new baby and grandbaby bring. Except the new title of “grandma.”
