Vegetarian Star

Bourbon Barrel Foods

Friday at 9PM the Discovery Channel will feature Kentucky based Bourbon Barrel Foods in an episode of How It’s Made. The company makes soy sauce from Kentucky grown, non GMO soybeans, soft red winter wheat, and limestone filtered Kentucky spring water. The soybean is aged in repurposed bourbon barrels.

Besides using local ingredients and used materials, Bourbon Barrels has a Worcestershire sauce that is vegetarian! If you didn’t know already, most Worcestershire sauces contain anchovies and are definitely not veggie friendly.

“Getting the chance to be on this show, I was beside myself,” Bourbon Barrel Foods owner Matt Jamie told the Louisville Kentucky Courier Journal.

Prince "Ebony"

How does a man in his 50s stay so slim and wrinkle-free all while retaining his chick magnet status? Must be the locally grown veggies.

Prince is featured as the cover boy for the July issue of Ebony and the crew had the pleasure of eating a four course vegan meal with the musician during the 12 hours they spent with him at Paisley Park in Chanhassen.

He’s set to receive the BET Lifetime achievement award on June 27, plus he was one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People for 2010 and was once voted PETA’s Sexiest Vegetarian in 2006.

The Biggest Loser coach Bob Harper has stepped up his veggie eating game and gone completely vegan!

The once vegetarian who was a big loser in his cholesterol numbers–100 points–after dropping meat recently told VegNews that dumping all animal products from his diet has improved his health even more.

“I enjoy living a plant-based diet because it makes me feel clear headed and strong, not to mention my genetically high cholesterol dropped more than 100 points. That was all the motivation I needed.”

Harper, who has criticized high animal protein diets as a way to lose weight, recommends Biggest Loser contestants either follow a vegetarian diet, or one that is mostly plant based while competing on the show.

Russell Simmons unveiled his new, all-vegan milkshake at the Millions of Milkshakes restaurant in Los Angeles, California for the 40th LA Pride Anniversary in West Hollywood. Being the philanthropist he is and working with so many charities in the past, it’s no surprise that sales of Russell’s shake benefits a foundation.

“The proceeds of every shake that we sell this week will be donated to the NOH8 foundation and I will personally match that amount with a donation,” Russell told Star.
