Vegetarian Star

Nellie McKay has expressed her love for junk food and the interest in manufacturing more junk food for vegans.

The singer and songwriter may have gotten her wish because Skittles has taken the gelatin out of their candies.

Weird fact: Skittles had already taken the junk out of  their trunk (a.k.a. the gelatin from their product) in other countries. What took them so long to get on board in the U.S.?

But now’s not the time for criticism. Let’s give it up for Skittles and show ’em how we appreciate them making a mainstream product veg friendly.

Ah, sibling rivalry.

We’re sure Emily Deschanel and her little sister, Zooey Deschanel, have nothing but love for each other as adults, but we wonder how the two got along as kids?

Were there pillowfights, accusations of boyfriend stealing, “borrowing” clothes without permission?

The two grew up to be beautiful inside and out, with successful Hollywood careers, a love for animals, and all things vegan.

So between the two sisters, who would you rather…

Vegetarian singer Leona Lewis rescued a rabbit who may have become dinner had she not done so.

Leona was shopping in Los Angeles when she spotted a homeless man walking around with a white rabbit.

When she asked him what he planned to do with the rabbit, the homeless man replied, “Don’t know, probably eat it.”

Leona bought the rabbit for $100 and told the homeless man to buy food with the money.

The lucky rabbit, named Melrose, now hangs out in Leona’s garden.

Our animal advocate friends down under at Animals Australia Unleashed had the pleasure of speaking with the lovely vegetarian singer Pink.

Pink has been helping animals her entire life, rescuing injured ones when she was a child.

Her biggest contribution to saving animals nowadays is refusing to eat them, and she shares this as a tip for those wanting to be involved with animal welfare.

“Rescuing a shelter animal as opposed to a puppy mill or pet shop. Not wearing fur, becoming a vegetarian, donating time or money to a shelter.”

Sounds simple enough.

Pink admitted she’s pretty vocal about her opinions and is not afraid to tell people wearing fur how disgusting they look.

Hey, we believe it. Remember when she said she’d like to make a fur coat out of Kanye West?

“When I got my breast cancer diagnosis [in 2004] and realized that my body was out of balance, I started to look at what it needed to be in balance: good food, whole food. I started looking at the environment around me — and I realized we need similar ingredients to make our earth bodies run. We have neglected what it takes to make the earth run. When I got involved in Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth,” I really began to educate myself.I realized I couldn’t keep walking down the path of, “I can put anything I want into my stomach, and I’m going to live forever.” That’s not going to work, nor will it for the Earth.”

—-Melissa Etheridge, on the realization that both our bodies and our planet need only the healthiest ingredients put into them.

Melissa puts the best in her body by maintaining a vegetarian diet.

Shakira has revealed that she once tried being vegetarian after befriending some chickens she met on a farm.

It worked out for those particular chickens who didn’t get eaten. But not so much for their relatives and future descendants.

“I was living in Spain on a farm, and someone gave me four chickens,” said the Hips Don’t Lie singer.

“I named them and they became very close to me. And then I couldn’t eat them. I was like, ‘OK, if I cannot eat these chickens because they actually have names and they are my friends, I am not going to be able to eat any chicken again.’ So I became a vegetarian.”

“I lasted for one month. I tried, I really tried. Yeah, I gave it a go.”

“I didn’t last as a vegetarian – but I did not eat those chickens. I promise those chickens survived.”

Sounds like Shakira should get as excited about soy chicken as Lisa Loeb does.

Singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb recently Tweeted about a snack involving soy chicken.

“Yum! Vegan asian snack! Fresh rolls. Soy chicken. Anyone else psyched? Anyone sad about it?”

We can’t think of any reason to be sad about it. Unless they were rooting for seitan chicken.

Just where can you get your soy chicken anyway? There is an abundance of veggie brands at your local natural foods stores, and even mainstream stores stock a few here and there.

Be on the lookout for these faux chickens who never lost their wings while getting to your plate.

Gardenburger: Carries a breaded faux chicken patty.

Quorn: Not made from soy, but mycoprotein. Yes, it’s a fungus. Sounds gross, but tastes good! Quorn has grilled faux chicken, faux chicken wings, faux chicken nuggets, and more!

Lightlife: Faux chicken fillets, strips, both plan and seasoned with savory flavoring or lemon pepper.

Boca: Breaded faux chicken, spicy faux chicken, nuggets, and even a “chicken on a bun with Swiss” sandwich.

Morningstar Farms: Buffalo wings, nuggets, patties, and herbed patties.

Yves: Smoked faux chicken, Thai lemongrass meatless chicken.

Don’t know about you, but we’re all chickened out!

What’s the most ridiculous thing an omnivore ever asked you? Was it the “do you eat chicken?” question?

Philstar.com has compiled some information on several vegetarian celebrities, including why they went veg, favorite restaurants, frustrating moments as a vegetarian, etc.

Owain Yeoman, Geneva Cruz, Yasmien Kurdi, and Pamela Anderson are all profiled.

Here are a few highlights from the “Funniest Thing Ever Said To Me By Meat Eaters” question:

Owain Yeoman
“Someone once asked me if I wasn’t concerned that vegetarianism will “stunt my growth” and at 6’4” and 190 pounds, the last thing I am worried about is my growth being stunted!”

Pamela Anderson
“It’s pretty funny when a meat eater tells me that he or she is an environmentalist. The meat trade is the number one cause of global warming!”

Geneva Cruz
““WHY?!!!!” My answer is “Why not?!!” There.”

Yasmien Kurdi
“I can’t think of anything specific, but what I’ve told meat eaters is if they want to contract swine flu, bird flu, and all those other animal-borne diseases — or if they want to die an early death — then they should eat meat! Hahaha! I know it’s a bit harsh, but I like to be direct when talking about animal issues and I think this makes meat eaters seriously rethink their diet … though outwardly we laugh about it.”
