Vegetarian Star

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and that makes us nervous because Gwyneth Paltrow is probably refining her turkey patty recipes in her otherwise pretty much vegetarian household.

However, Gwyneth is reportedly learning about the effects of the food we eat and the environment, so maybe she will rethink her decision to celebrate with birds that are usually factory farmed and killed in the most painful manner.

How is Gwyneth becoming educated?

Through porn.

From her website, Goop.com (the “SEE” section if you’re into following her ridiculous Goopy plan):

“For comic relief, Green Porno on Sundance Channel is now in its third season of deadpan puppet shows by Isabella Rossellini. I’ve learned a lot more than I want to about reproduction in the animal and insect kingdoms. This season, the third so far, has an especially eco-friendly and equally hilarious bent, showing, in the simplest of terms, where the fish we eat come from and the effect mass fishing has on the environment.”

If you’ve ever wondered how creatures get it on, Isabella gives you all the sexy details, dressing up in costume to reenact the “act.”

Why rent a movie in the adult section when you stay at home with yourself and Isabella?

As Gwyneth stated, Season 3 touches on farmed ocean life and overfishing.

Here’s a link to Isabella’s video on the Anchovy.

Anchovies are on the Marine Conservation Society Fish to Avoid list, so try an extra veggie topping on your pizza next time, pescatarians.

Al Gore recently agreed he should have spoken more about the effects of meat eating and the environment.

But that hasn’t stopped PETA Queen Ingrid Newkirk from rubbing in his lack of outspokenness and humiliation during the recent debate where he admitted his faults.

From an article at Huffingtonpost.com titled “Come On Al, Steak or the Earth?”:

“That’s why he has only himself to blame for the blows dealt him this week from the BBC’s Mr. Paxman, ABC’s Ms. Sawyer and other commentators. Yes, he’s the son of a Black Angus rancher. My father climbed mountains and went out in to the ocean in small boats during storms, but I’m not following suit. He protests that eating meat is a “personal choice” and tries to excuse his penchant for a daily steak (sometimes two, we hear from a reliable source) because he finds it “too hard” to “give up” meat? Driving a Hummer for the hell of it is a personal choice, and how hard can it be to go vegetarian when this week’s New York Times list of best-selling hardback advice books shows chef Tal Ronnen’s The Conscious Cook sitting pretty at number three and Alicia Silverstone’s The Kind Diet at number five? Both are vegan — not just vegetarian — cookbooks that I dare anyone to open without drooling. Last week, Chipotle at Dupont Circle in Washington test-marketed a Gardein vegan “chicken” burrito. It sold out almost instantly, and an emergency supply of these delicious little medallions of soy protein had to be dispatched to meet demand.”

No one says it quite like Ingrid!

Al Gore has finally come clean about his thoughts on meat consumption and the environment.

“I’m not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,” Gore told ABC Television from New York.

Gore had been criticized in the past for claiming to be an environmentalist, but not discussing the effects of the meat industry and global warming, especially in his narrated documentary on the environment, An Inconvenient Truth.

“It’s absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis – not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process.”

“You could add in the health consequences as well.”

Gore advocated eating more fruits and vegetables, but is not quite ready to go vegetarian or tell anyone else to, for that matter.

“I’ve made those changes, and while I don’t go quite as far as Nick saying everybody should become a vegetarian – partly because it’s difficult enough to get the agreement without adding that on top of it – it is a legitimate point of view.”

Ah, come on, Gore.

Don’t be such a faux wiennie. Just cut the animal out of your dietary equation, okay?

Windsor Castle was set to host its first ever vegan banquet today as part of a conference for religious leaders on environmental issues.

Britain’s Prince Philip and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon were both scheduled to be present at the lunchtime meal.

Officials chose a vegan meal to accommodate the different religious dietary requirements of the many faiths that were represented, such as Hindu, Islam and Judaism.

The menu included roasted English pear salad and stuffed portabello mushrooms.

Ironically, the vegan menu is also the perfect way to dine at a conference meant to highlight environment problems as meat and dairy industries cause tons of destruction to the planet.

According to some scientists, producing approximately 2 pounds of beef is equal to more CO2 emissions than going on a three hour drive while leaving all the lights on at home.

Deirdre Imus launched her own line of green cleaning products, Cleaning the Greening, for households and hospitals years ago.

Now she’s ready to green clean the world as the products are set to enter the global marketplace.

The wife of radio host Don Imus has been a vegan for 25 years and says its was quite natural to combine her passion for health and green living into a business.

A few excerpts from a recent interview with Anna Clark of Greenbiz.com:

AC: Why are toxin-free cleaning products critical to safeguarding our health?
DI: Cancer is still the leading cause of death by disease in children. And cancer isn’t the only epidemic. One in six kids is obese. One of six kids has asthma. One in eight children is born premature. One out of 60 boys is diagnosed with autism. We’ve seen rapid growth in Tourette syndrome and diabetes. Another chronic disease growing among children is arthritis.

AC: How did you execute your vision?
DI: I approached Hackensack University Medical Center to do a pilot program. In 2000, the word green wasn’t even on the map, so I didn’t expect it to be an easy sell. I walked into the CEO John Ferguson’s office with a stack of research. He stopped me in my tracks and told me to go do it. That is literally how I got started ‘greening the cleaning.’

AC: How can someone become a distributor?
DI: Interested distributors can get information at www.DIenviro.com or call and speak to Jim Ronchi or Don O’Hagan.

Jenna Ushkowitz is doing so much to help the environment, she has us singing with Glee.

The television star not only stays away from meat, but she does her best to save water.

“Not running the water when I brush my teeth, not running the shower too long, and I’m a vegetarian,” Ushkowitz said, when asked by Mother Nature Network how she helps to protect the environment.

Jenna the water conserving vegetarian. Lea Michele bucking cruelty. Does Glee have a caring bunch or what?

Look for some Madonna renditions in the upcoming episodes of Glee.

“We have her whole catalog. We’re all going through her music and thinking about what songs we’d like to do.”

Like a veggie Virgin.  Touching tempeh for the very first time.

The Environmental Media Association is celebrating 20 years of encouraging Hollywood to spread the news about going green.

Tonight, a gala is being held as part of a celebration of two decades of greening Hollywood and an awards ceremony to honor individuals who helped increase environmental awareness.

The AP is reporting some of the other honorees:

“Richard Branson, who pledged to invest all proceeds from his Virgin Airlines toward developing clean fuels and renewable energy; the National Geographic Society, which supports environmental education through various programs and grants; Centropolis Entertainment, the production company led by director Roland Emmerich and producer Michael Wimer that released the first carbon-neutral film in Hollywood history, “The Day After Tomorrow.”

Leilani Munter.

The self described “vegetarian hippie chick” Leilani Munter has made it to the top 10 finals in the Project Green Search, “Green It Girl” contest as a result of fans voting online.

The winner will be crowned next month in Los Angeles and will be the next “Green It Girl,” serving as a green “Miss America” that will promote environmental issues, animal and human rights.

Good luck Leilani!
