Miranda Lambert “Self” Interview Reveals Hunting Hobby

Vegetarian Star — Mon, 21 May 2012 19:44:18 +0000

Just when we were excited about Miranda Lambert‘s animal work for charities like Paws for Cause for shelter pets, a story surfaces that reveals she puts other animals’ paws in her fridge.

In Self magazine, Lambert revealed “15 Things I’ll Never Apologize For,” which includes deer cutlets on the menu at her home she shares with husband Blake Shelton.

“We eat the meat we kill. Blake and I served it at our wedding! I love it when people are down on me for hunting. If you eat meat at all, I don’t want to hear about it!”

Lambert apparently harvested venison for her own wedding, a photo of which was uploaded to Twitter.

With the potential unhealthy contaminants involved when eating game killed in the wild, Gunpowder and Lead are better used to defend yourself against psycho ex-husbands, versus happy little animals in the forest.

Lady Gaga Meat Dress Worn During “Americano” In Tokyo

Vegetarian Star — Mon, 14 May 2012 20:23:50 +0000

Lady Gaga‘s going meaty again.

The singer showed off her latest carnivorous dress she wore during a performance of “Americano” in Tokyo on her Facebook page.

Her last beefy costume, worn to the MTV Video Music Awards, garnered criticism from vegetarian celebrities and animal rights groups like PETA, but still managed to be preserved in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Unfortunately, with all the salts and other preservatives in meat today, this dress too will probably stick around longer than her next top 10 single.

Zooey Deschanel New iPhone 4S/Siri Helps Find Vegan Restaurant (Video)

Vegetarian Star — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 17:27:37 +0000

Zooey Deschanel is desperately in need of tomato soup in a new commercial for the iPhone 4S/Siri.

Being the celebrity diva she is, she’s not just looking for a place that will serve it to her, but deliver it to her doorstop, as she’s unwilling to put on shoes for the rainy afternoon.

Have no fear, the new iPhone 4S/Siri is capable of letting her know which restaurants in the LA area deliver tomato soup. And we’re tickled pink that one of them is incredibly vegan friendly.

The Mendocino Farms restaurant is known for its seasonal items, use of local farmers and so much more than soup.

Vegans who are hungrier for something more than a liquid meal should opt for the seasonal Spring 2012 Vegan BBQ Torta. The sandwich is topped with shaved seitan and pinto beans slow braised in chipotle citrus barbecue sauce, smashed avocado, vegenaise, pickled red onions, candied jalapenos, tomatoes, shredded romaine on toasted ciabatta.

There’s also the The Vegan Spicy Soyrizo & Black Bean Wrap or Vegan Shawarma. Looking to make the Traditional Vegan Club with tempeh bacon extra “meatier?” Add some extra veggie bacon for only a couple of bucks.

There’s a question about the restaurant’s delivery policy though. From the menu, it appears the West Hollywood location delivers for catering events of 10 or more people, but it’s hard to find delivery info for the other Mendocinos. So you might have to invite a few friends over for the experience. A night of indulgence with yourself doesn’t sound bad either.

Sarah McLachlan Asks Canada Prime Minister To End Seal Hunt

Vegetarian Star — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 17:40:18 +0000

Sarah McLachlan has written a letter to Canada’s Prime Minister Stephen Harper, asking that he help end the country’s annual seal hunt.

The problem with any industry that harms, be it animals, people or the earth, is that is also helping individuals feed, clothe and otherwise provide for themselves and their families, giving some the rationalization that it’s okay to continue.

But instead of berating the hunters for trying to earn a living, McLachlan calls on Harper to help create new economic opportunities that do not result in brutal killings.

“The sealers – like tobacco farmers and asbestos miners – need leaders to devise a practical exit strategy for them, not waste millions more in hopeless World Trade Organization challenges or paying to stockpile pelts when buyers already have seal pelts going back several years,” writes Ms. McLachlan. “Won’t you lead the way?”

McLachlan points out that the market for seal pelt is and has been declining. A recent change that drastically impacted the demand of seal fur is Russia’s decision to join the European Union and the United States in banning seal fur imports.

According to the Globe and Mail, Russia had been responsible for buying 95% of Canadian seal fur.

Ms. McLachlan’s entire letter can be read here.

Garth Brooks Trisha Yearwood Go Vegan

Vegetarian Star — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 16:21:28 +0000

He’s got friends in low places .Where the whiskey drowns and the vegan food chases his blues away. He will definitely be okay.

The Las Vegas Review Journal is reporting that both Garth Brooks and his wife Trisha Yearwood have adopted a vegan diet.

Brooks and Yearwood were dining at Wynn Las Vegas, one of several casino attractions owned by wealthy entrepreneur who turned vegan a few years ago himself, Steve Wynn, when Brooks made the announcement. He asked the wait staff to not only bring him vegan food, but a dish that was a personal favorite of Wynn’s.

Yearwood has a new 6-episode Food Network series that will debut Saturday, April 14th at 10:30am ET/PT, Trisha’s Southern Cooking.

“For me, cooking is very connected to my family and friends,” said Yearwood. “Every recipe on the show carries wonderful memories with my loved ones and I can’t wait to share my meals, stories and family photos with Food Network viewers.”

One of those recipes may be for a chicken-less pot pie, as it is listed as an example of Yearwood’s favorites on her official page.

Adele Loses Weight With Vegetarian Diet

Vegetarian Star — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 17:01:44 +0000

Almost a year ago, Adele announced to the media she had embraced a vegetarian diet. She wasn’t too big on tofu though.

It’s a good bet she’s big on the fact that adhering to a plant-based diet can result in healthy and sustained weight loss though. Both the Set Fire to the Rain singer and her boyfriend have lost weight by eating everything but tofu.

According to The Mirror, a source said, “The weight is dropping off the pair of them and they plan to keep dieting until the end of April.”

Veggie Adele fans hope that even after the calorie counting stops, the pair will continue to indulge in delicious non-animal flesh goodies and not return to fish and chips.

Don’t believe the celebrity hype that a vegetarian diet can help you lose two dress sizes like Adele did? There have been several studies that may convince you to continue to renew the veggie meal plan if you’ve recently subscribed.

Vegetarians and vegans have been shown, on average, to weigh less than meat eaters. Meat eaters who switched to a plant-based diet gained less weight over a period of years. And a low-fat vegan diet has been shown to cause weight loss of about 1 pound a week without adding exercise, counting calories and watching portion sizes.

Meatless Mouthful–Melissa Etheridge Connects Meat With Cancer

Vegetarian Star — Mon, 10 Oct 2011 16:37:59 +0000

“It’s actually our whole Western lifestyle. It’s one of the reasons half of us have cancer. Because our Western lifestyle is so acidic–the food we eat causes the acid. The meats, the processed foods–our bodies are made for whole foods. The sun goes in the plant, the plant [in] us, we live. That’s how it works. And it’s really taxing us and that’s why we’re seeing this epidemic of cancer.”

–Melissa Etheridge, in an interview with Access Hollywood on her 7-year recovery from breast cancer.
