Green Is Universal NBC

NBC’s third annual Green Week is on!

Designed to raise environmental awareness among NBC viewers, Green Week features television programs normally broadcast on the station incorporating green themes.

Looking at the schedule, there are a few shows that catch our eyes.

Tuesday night, The Biggest Loser will feature green training tips throughout the episode.

With vegetarian coach Bob Harper, and almost vegetarian but still fish eating Jillian Michaels, we’re crossing our fingers sustainable nutrition makes the tip list.

Top Chef on Wednesday will pay a visit to Top Chef Masters contestant Chef Rick Moonen‘s restaurant as the competitors take over Moonen’s eatery that serves organic and sustainable produce and seafood.

Loni Love is a comedian and actress who frequently appears on Chelsea Handler‘s show, Chelsea Lately, during The Roundtable, which is a segment that discusses events going on in pop culture.

Recently, the conversation at The Roundtable turned to making a joke about someone eating a pig that was a pet and Loni said, “The nice thing about having a pig as a pet is that when it gets older, you can have bacon.”

Um, no.

What person in their right mind could eat something that has intelligence beyond that of a three year old that they’ve reared and cared for?

We think Chelsea said it best when she jokingly responded she could never raise a pig and eat it because she had “too much respect for Miss Piggy.”

HBO‘s Treme aims to portray the city of New Orleans post Katrina in as much accurate detail as possible, including the characters and the events surrounding them.

One of those characters is the real life Kermit Ruffins and his mobile barbecue joint.

HBO’s president of entertainment Sue Naegle visited the set of Treme when scenes involving Ruffins’ barbecue stand were being filmed.

Apparently, New Orleans barbecue is so good, it even entices a vegetarian.

“I’m a vegetarian,” Naegle said. “But that smells really good.”

Hey, no one said a veg never got tempted.

Maybe that’s why Russell Simmons said New Orleans is the most difficult place in the world to be vegan.

Thankfully, Morningstar Farms Hickory Barbecue Riblets have Naegle and any other barbecue loving vegetarian covered.

Treme is expected to begin airing on HBO in 2010.

"Bigfoot" 2009

Tobey Maguire once made a bet with his assistant she wouldn’t be able to stop eating Simbree Energy Bars.

Rumor has it the assistant lost and she is supposed to shave her head in the future.

The bars are featured in a clip in the 2009 DVD release of Bigfoot.

“Apparently one of the producers is a big fan of Simbree products and thought it would be a funny recurrent theme in the movie to have Bigfoot become obsessed with the energy food,” said Sally Virgin, owner and president of Simbree Foods.

Amazon.com not only carries the Bigfoot release, but has an exclusive clip of Bigfoot enjoying the Simbree bar-wrapper and all.

Simbree Energy products include bars and granolas and are made with NON GMO expeller pressed canola oil and soy.

For twenty years The Simpsons have been doing special Halloween episodes full of bizarre humor you’ve come to love.

This year featured the citizens of Springfield inflicted with a mad cow type disease after eating the Krusty the Clown hamburger called Burger Squared.

They should have known better than to take something from Krusty.

Burger Squared is produced by “starting with Grade A beef, feeding it to other cows and then serving the unholy results on a seven grain bun.”

Most everyone in town eats the burgers and turns into zombies, leaving The Simpsons and a few vegetarians like Apu running for their lives.

When Lisa asks Apu how he survived, he answers, “Well, as a vegetarian, I did not consume any tainted meat and as a convenience store owner, I am armed to the teeth.”

Unfortunately, it wasn’t that easy and Apu perished after all.

Watch the clip to see how.

Has Angela also given up chicken and other meat?

“My character’s dilemma is that the woman who was once my wife, has now become a sanyasin, and he has to worship her,” said Irrfan.

“Actors all over the world are linked by a common craving for excellence. We’re all looking for challenges and glory. But with Natalie, it was very different. We constantly chatted, discussed one another’s culture and shared very warm vibes.”
