Vegetarian Star

How about a little rap music to start off the weekend?

Musician Parry Gripp has released “I Like Vegetables,”–a catchy tune with a beat that incorporates a love for all things that grow from dirt or from trees and manages to avoid the corny, roll your eyes effect that some jingles that try to convey something serious or educational do.

“Fancy Cars, you can’t sell to me. I spend all my money on celery,” raps Gripp who later adds he’s “notorious” and “nefarious” because he doesn’t “spare one spear of asparagus.”

If the First Lady is looking for a theme song to her “Let’s Move!” campaign, her search should end right here.

Time‘s “Ecocentric” blog has covered Farm Sanctuary’s 25th anniversary gala in the tastiest of ways.

Bryan Walsh had the pleasure of attending the gala and sampling the vegan food that was created in a joint effort by David Lee, founder of vegan meats Field Roast, and Paolo Dorigato of Cipriani in Manhattan where the celebration was held.

Walsh is an omnivore, but if he had someone to prepare the meal he ate last weekend, especially the Field Roast Porcini Dijon Crusted Cutlet, he might reconsider eating real meat for good.

When we first brought you the news of Ginnifer Goodwin turning her back on veganism, it wasn’t the worst day in the world, as she professed to use humane eggs and still appeared to be vegetarian.

However, after viewing the footage from her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel, it appears the former VegNews cover girl–to put it in the words of a hit movie she starred in–is just not that into vegetarianism either.

Goodwin confessed to Kimmel to not just eating eggs, but animal flesh–meatloaf, burgers and salmon.

She may be doing some sort of “vegetarian in the home outside of the home screw it” move, as Goodwin told Kimmel “my house is humane. That makes me feel less hypocritical”

In 2009, she was the ambassador for turkeys. In 2011…we hope she won’t turn into a Gwyneth Paltrow during Thanksgiving.

The video of Ginnifer on Kimmel can be viewed below.

As you can probably guess from the title of this post, that’s not a veggie burger Glenn Beck is stuffing himself with.

During a trip to Israel, Beck ended his vegan diet with hamburgers and ice cream.

Although he originally adopted a standard vegan diet for health reasons, according to his post on glennbeck.com, it appears he also was trying to eat raw for a certain period of time.

US Weekly recently featured an article on vegan actresses.

Quotes from big stars like Lea Michele, Olivia Wilde, Alicia Silverstone, Pamela Anderson and Jenna Dewan Tatum were included.

“Here is a film that could save your life.”

“What every human being should do is eat a vegetarian diet based on whole foods. Period. That’s it. Animal protein is bad for you. Dairy is bad for you. Forget the ads: Milk and eggs are bad for you. Skim milk is no better, because it contains proportionately more animal protein. What you’re trying to avoid is dietary cholesterol. You also need to cut way down on salt and sugar, and run like hell from high fructose corn syrup.”

“The bottom line: I am convinced this message is true. A plant-based whole foods diet is healthy.”

—Roger Ebert, in a review of the documentary Forks Over Knives at the Chicago Sun-Times.

Who smuggles veggie burgers in when the officials aren’t looking?

Who can whip up a mean spaghetti and faux meatball dish?

None other than Colbie Caillat, the singer-songwriter who’s using her Twitter to spread the message about the veg lifestyle.
