Vegetarian Star

It’s no wonder Robin Quivers is searching for the perfect vegan energy gel. The radio personality and Howard Stern‘s sidekick is gearing up for a New York City Marathon that takes place on November 7th, 2010 and will benefit two charities who’s goals are to help families cook nutritious, healthy food, The Sylvia Center and Family Cook Productions.

Americans are cooking less in the home than in previous years. Data collected from the The Residential Energy Consumption Survey (RECS) found less people were cooking 2 or more meals per day or even 1 meal per day at home in 2001 than they were in 1993. This could be due to time constraints of a modern society, or, like some food activists have suggested, more generations are growing up not knowing how to properly prepare nutritious meals for themselves. By targeting children at a young age, hopefully, programs like The Sylvia Center and Family Cook Productions will reverse these trends.

“I was at a friend’s house and it was right when Skinny Bitch came out. And she was like, “You need to read this book.” The title totally threw me off; I said, “I’m not reading some book that’s called Skinny Bitch.” But I took it with me on vacation and I was really interested and blown away by it at the same time.”

—Bob Harper, in an interview with VegNews in the magazine’s November/December 2010 issue, on how he first became interested in going vegetarian. Never judge a book by its cover. Or name. For men like Harper who are a little taken aback by Skinny Bitch, the sisters in sassiness, Freedman and Barnouin, have conveniently written the male counterpart to Bitch, Skinny Bastard. And let’s not forget John Joseph will make men feel like little girls if they continue to eat meat after reading, Meat Is For Pussies.

Saving our men. One title at a time.

Lindsay Lohan has the opportunity to get help for her $53,000 rehab bill if she promises to go vegan for the rest of the year.

The actress is currently serving a three-month sentence at California’s Betty Ford Drug Clinic after failing several drug tests and has claimed she cannot afford to pay for it.

In walks the financial counselor from PETA.

The animal rights group has agreed to pay Lohan $10,000 if she goes vegan for the remainder of her term and another $10,000 if she stays vegan for the rest of the year.

Ha! She can’t even stay stay sober. Good luck, PETA we appreciate your efforts!

Hillary Clinton celebrated her 63nd birthday with Bill on Tuesday by dining at D.C.’s Peacock Cafe in Georgetown.

Restaurants have been cashing in on promoting the former president of the United States has dined at their establishment while patrons follow Bill’s lead when ordering from the menu. Thank goodness a horde of fans will forgo meat entrees at Peacock, as Bill had the veggie burger with quinoa salad and spinach, taking a bite from Hillary’s fries now and then.

Besides the veggie burger, Peacock Cafe boasts veggie friendly dishes of Vegetarian Nachos with vegetarian chili, baked ravioli, a selection of salads and smoothies and “Bill Clinton Ate Here” bragging rights.

Surfer Anastasia Ashley was recently featured on MTV’s World of Jenks, a documentary that explores the lifestyles, views and careers of different people.

Ashley is a vegetarian who’s done a PETA ad for the diet and lifestyle, Ocean Creatures are Too Beautiful to Kill.

World of Jenks followed her as she prepared for the 2010 US Open of Surfing in August.

“I always felt tired when I used to eat meat—I got sick of that,” Ashley explained to Peta2 during an interview. “Also, I wanted to start a serious training/nutritional program for my surfing competitions. I tried it out (not eating meat) and loved it—I felt so healthy and energetic. I’ve never looked back since!”
