Vegetarian Star

Tony Gonzalez‘s nutritional supplement company, which includes a vegan protein powder, All-Pro-Science, is helping to fight breast cancer during the month of October, which happens to be Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Throughout the month of October, All-Pro-Science will make a donation to the National Breast Cancer Foundation Inc. each time a customer uses the code “PINK” during checkout. Using the code will also allow customers to get a 20% discount off their purchases.

“With the month of October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I wanted APS to give back to a foundation that is helping our mothers, sisters, grandmas, etc. out there fight this horrible disease,” said Tony Gonzalez, co-founder of All Pro Science, Inc. “I encourage everyone to use the code PINK when they purchase so that we can make a big impact and help support the National Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission of saving lives through early detection.”

Like other successful tech companies, Facebook provides its employees with deliciously good food perks. Josef Desimone, a former chef at Google, leads the food operations and says because he makes people so happy at work, he’s like “Santa Claus with knives.”

That sounds creepy, but after learning about the vegetarian, vegan and sustainable choices Mark Zuckerberg‘s subordinates get for free (yes, that’s three meals a day), we’ve come to the conclusion that knife-wielding Santa gives good little vegs all they ask for year round.

Employees may start the day with vegan breakfast waffles.

"The Tofu Tollbooth"

Dar Williams is a singer-songwriter who collaborated with Elizabeth Zipern to create a one stop book filled with dining suggestions for the vegetarian traveler, The Tofu Tollbooth. The concept is great, plus the book stays true to being environmentally friendly as it’s printed with soy ink on recyclable paper.

“It’s a directory of natural food stores,” Williams told Windy City Times. “So, that’s the link; because I’m a traveler. And, actually, I’m a terrible cook. I mean, a really bad cook. So, it would be kind of funny if people ( laughs ) thought it was a cookbook. They probably imagine me in an Indian print skirt over a pot of lentils. I am so the grab-and-go kind of bad eater.”

Russell Brand

Russell Brand has a new book out, Booky Wook 2: This Time It’s Personal, a follow up to the autobiography My Booky Wook, which described much of Brand’s trials of sex and drug addiction and rehab. Brand took to Twitter to pose for a lovely unoffiical promo photo, showing his love for veggie snacks too.

A description from Amazon says Booky Wook 2 is told from a more sober Brand and “ushers in an unforgettable and raucous ride through chat shows, tabloid scandals, and Hollywood, all the while detailing Brand’s search for the contentment that fame can’t quite grant.”

Speaking of drug-free, sobriety and rehab, Brand never had a “relapse” in vegetarianism, as he discussed in My Booky Wook.

Emily Deschanel‘s co-star on Bones’, David Boreanaz, was a guest at the ceremony and reception for the actress’ recent wedding. Boreanz said the food featured some lovely seitan imitating chicken, which lead to a hilarious discussion of vegan weddings (did she marry a man from Venus) and whether or not food was incorporated into the ceremony to make it vegan.

Deschanel managed to convince Boreanz to eat vegetarian at least once a week.

“A lot of the reason is the attitude that if you slip up, there is no use trying it anymore. Imagine applying that to anything else: truth telling or being kind to strangers. If every time we slipped up, we said, “I’m done trying,” then what would we be left with?”

–author Jonathan Safran Foer, when asked why people become ex-vegetarians.

Do you agree with his answer?

While we’re still waiting for John Salley‘s natural food line to come out, it’s still exciting to hear Spider Legs discuss his favorite meals he likes to whip up at home.

The NBA legend is a fan of vegan mayonnaise Vegenaise and enjoys smothering it on an avocado sandwich and washing the whole thing down with some homemade root beer.

“I do something like an avocado sandwich with Vegenaise, mustard, live sprouts, grape tomatoes and some toasted bread,” Salley told Tampa Bay. “I eat avocado almost every day. I may mix bananas, mangoes, papayas and blend it up.”
