Vegetarian Star

Joshua Gomez, who plays Chuck’s co-worker Morgan Grimes on the NBC television series about a computer store geek who accidentally downloads government secrets to his brain, “Chuck,” is a vegetarian in real life.

So when it came time to devour the meatball sub sandwich from Subway presented to him during a scene on “Chuck  Vs. The Leftovers,” we got a little nervous when he was about to chow down. Was the sandwich stuffed with wheatballs instead? Luckily (or perhaps a little unluckily for Morgan), his dinner is interrupted by an unexpected customer carrying a weapon.

Subway doesn’t offer much for vegans except a Veggie Delight with no cheese on Italian bread. If you’d like to see that change, maybe you should look into Compassion Over Killing’s “We Love Subway” campaign.

Duff Goldman, star of Food Network’s “Ace of Cakes,” has made the announcement that he’s switching to cage-free eggs for his company, Charm City Cakes.

Goldman joins fellow celebrity chef Guy Fieri and dozens of national retailers and franchises like Quizno’s and Denny’s to source eggs from farms that don’t confine hens in cages so small, they aren’t even able to spread their wings. Cage-free hens have 2-3 times more space than caged hens.

“Charm City Cakes is pleased to have switched to only using cage-free eggs, which is a great way to improve animal welfare and meet our customers’ expectations for being socially responsible,” said Duff.

Home Cooking by Trisha Yearwood

Trisha Yearwood and her husband Garth Brooks may have a string of number one country hits but the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine places their cookbook anywhere but near the top when it comes to heart-healthy eating.

The group of doctors who recommend a plant-based diet has named the top worst cookbooks of 2010 which include titles by Yearwood, Gordon Ramsay, a Top Chef Collection and more.

Here’s just a little of what PCRM had to say about Yearwood’s Home Cooking, which includes a breakfast recipe for almost a dozen eggs!

“The Georgia native presents her recipes with family stories and tips, but unfortunately, the book does not take into account the state of Southerners’ health. States in the Southeast have the highest rates of obesity in the nation, but Yearwood’s recipes are loaded with fat and cholesterol. Garth’s Breakfast Bowl, for example, includes eight large eggs, a pound each of bacon and sausage, cheese tortellini, cheddar cheese, tater tots, and butter.”

Food and Wine

Food & Wine Magazine is the latest in the growing pile of mainstream food media to announce that vegetarianism, if even part-time, is a trend worth following.

The magazine’s blog, Mouthing Off, recently discussed Forks Over Knives, a documentary debuting next year featuring the lives of several people who switch to a plant-based diet to transform their health. And in last month’s Trendspotting, the theme was Macho Vegetables.

Jake Gyllenhaal isn’t worried about looking good for the nude scenes in “Love and Other Drugs” because he’s been eating a diet filled with plenty of fresh vegetables from his own garden.

“I don’t follow a special diet but I try and eat well, so I grow my own vegetables,” Gyllenhaal said.

The next best thing to growing your own is buying veggies from a neighbor or local community garden. San Francisco’s mayor and the city’s planning department has just introduced an ordinance to permit gardens in all areas of the city and to allow sale of veggies from that garden.

Bill Clinton has been chosen as person of the year by animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Earlier this year, the former president of the United States announced he’d gone vegan to slim down for his daughter Chelsea’s wedding. He lost 24 pounds, but kept his vegan diet because he’s motivated by studies showing most people who eat a plant-based diet can prevent and reverse heart disease.

“Studies have proved that vegetarians and vegans live, on average, six to 10 years longer than meat-eaters,” PETA writes on its website.

Former Miss World Rosanna Davison recently interviewed with the Daily Mail, which actually grilled her on some serious topics like whether or not she’d had a boob job and why she was seen promoting pepperoni pizza if she claimed to be vegetarian or vegan with natural boobs.

Actually, we’re kidding about the breast part. At least some of it. To find out if she really did get surgery, go here.

A series of ads were displayed on buses in the UK that read, “A vegan diet is so much better for your health, for the environment generally and, as no animals are harmed, it’s cruelty free.”

But what does the daughter of Chris de Burgh, who sang the famous song Lady In Red, say about making vegetarians see red when they view her meaty pizza ad?

Cee Lo Green of Gnarls Barkley may soon be singing, “I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost that nasty habit of eating meat.”

Green told The Sun he’s looking to get in shape for the New Year and feels going vegetarian might help him achieve his goals.

“I think I’m gonna stop eating meat. Eating is probably my only vice. I love great food and I love to eat. So I’d like to see myself committed to that correction. I feel like that is the missing link. If I could get that one vice under control, there’s no telling what I could accomplish.”
