Vegetarian Star

Are treehuggers out to save the Earth to help everyone who inhabits it? Or will they take everything for themselves and tie-dye it?

Stephen Colbert pokes fun of environmentalists in this clip from his segment of On Topic: The Environment–Wimpy Treehuggers and Dirty Hippies from The Colbert Report.

He makes hypocrites out of a group of people rebuilding Noah’s ark to raise awareness about global warming, saying, “For a bunch of environmentalists, they’re sure cutting down a lot of trees.”

Freegans–those who eat leftover from the garbage–are not spared as well as the organic food industry.

“I’ve always been against organic foods. If I wanted to ingest something a hippie picked, I would eat an autoharp.”

Alton Brown has seen to it that bluefin tuna will no longer be used on Iron Chef America.

The host of the Food Network show had previously said he would boycott Nobu restaurant until it removed the endangered species from the menu. Recently, however, Makoto Okuwa served up a dish using bluefin tuna belly, which prompted a food blogger to address Brown about the issue, according to LA Weekly.

Joe Jonas was spotted taking a big bite of a veggie burger at vegan restaurant Real Food Daily in West Hollywood.

Would love to have this Jonas Brother put a purity ring on for the environment and promise to save his palate for meat-free meals forever.

One researcher at the Carnegie Mellon University estimated that swiping a veggie burger for a meat once a week can save the equivalent of 1860 km of driving. That’s approximately the distance from Colorado to Alabama or the amount of miles a screaming, hormonal teenage girl will travel to see Joe eat anything.

Rhona Mitra stars in the new ABC television series The Gates, a crime drama show with a supernatural twist.

It’s going to take more than superpowers to restore the Gulf Coast to its pre-BP disaster state, and the actress recently discussed her thoughts on the oil spill and environmental issues with Popeater.

On Hollywood being viewed as hypocritical for being green (e.g. taking private jets):
I’m very aware of people who want to be seen doing the right thing on the exterior so they can make themselves feel better. I have implemented things in my life that I do behind closed doors that on the outside don’t look like anything. For example I’m a vegan, which is a very touchy area because when people hear you’re vegan they’re like, ‘That’s so righteous.’

Seth Rogen is set to star alongside Barbra Streisand in My Mother’s Curse, a film about a son out to reunite his mother with an old flame.

Rogen is an inventor who’s just created an organic cleaning product he plans to show off to various marketing outlets while taking the road trip with mom.

It’s highly appropriate that the show has a mother/son/eco-friendly theme to it, given the recent reports on a woman’s risk of breast cancer after being routinely exposed to common household cleaning products.

The research conducted at Silent Spring Institute in Newton, Massachusetts found women who often used household cleaning products were 110% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often. Those that used air fresheners were 90% more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than those who used them less often.

Johnny Marr may have sang along to “Meat is Murder” when he played with The Smiths and he still follows a vegan diet today. However, his plant counterpart has no problem trapping innocents bugs and gulping them down. Guess everyone has an evil twin.

The vegetarian Olympic medalist was honored as a Do Something Athlete for her work with Doctors Without Borders, Children International and her own charity, Hannah’s Gold, which sells Vermont Maple Syrup to raise money for clean drinking water to people in Kenya.

The snowboarder who took the Silver medal at the Vancouver Olympic games has been vegetarian for a little over a year and enjoys smoothies and quinoa.

Dennis Kucinich was a speaker at the 2010 Animal Rights Conference in Virginia this past week where his message was to reconcile with nature.

Kucinich says we’ve disrupted this harmony by reckless exploitation of animals and destructive environmental practices that came with the industrial age.

“The central challenge of our times is to effect a reconciliation with nature. The schism between mankind and the natural world has become so pronounced in the 20th and 21st centuries.” After naming some examples of mankind disrupting nature’s balance such as mining and destroying animal habitats, Kucinich added, “All of these are indications of how far we have gone to separate ourselves from the natural world.”

Kucinich is suppose to announce sometime next month an initiative on how we can get back in touch with nature, or in his words, “relates to our connection with the earth and the environment.”
