Vegetarian Star

Mayim Bialik has become the official woman of the house and gotten her husband to stop eating meat!

The former Blossom actress and PhD holder told Parent Dish, “My husband and I read “Eating Animals” by Jonathan Safran Foer, and my husband has not eaten meat for four months.”

Similarly, Mayim’s other two favorite men are following dad’s lead.

“The boys do not eat dairy or meat or eggs. We also have a kosher home.”

Mayim’s method for getting her family to adopt a meatless lifestyle is accomplished through education, rather than by setting hard fast rules that are expected to be followed.

“It’s actually helpful that my son understands that different people eat different things for different reasons.”

The Hornets’ George Shinn sat down for dinner at a famous steakhouse, Dickie Brennan’s Steakhouse in the French quarter and ate nothing but meat free items–a stuffed bell pepper, mushrooms and a salad medley with sliced apples.

Shinn set an example for a few Hornets fans who won the opportunity to have lunch with the basketball star.

Shinn embarked on a meatless diet on the advice of his wife, Denise, who insisted after he received a diagnosis of prostate cancer.

It’s been 11 weeks since the surgery to remove the cancerous prostate at Johns Hopkins Medical Institute and Shinn couldn’t feel better.

Is it luck that he found something delicious to eat at a steakhouse of all places?

Maybe it’s the result of giving the customer what he wants.

Shinn said that if a restaurant doesn’t adapt to his lifestyle, then, “I don’t go there.”

Spoken like a true superstar!

Indian-born billionaire Pankaj Oswal and his socialite wife Radhika have hired contractors to build a $70 billion dollar mansion and they are banning the workers from eating meat.

“She still wants them to build her $70 million mansion, but she’s telling them what they’re going to eat . . . it’s wrong,” said Construction, Forestry, Mining and Energy Union Western Australian assistant secretary Joe McDonald, who called the ban “absolutely wrong.”

“I respect everybody’s right to practise their religion, but I totally disagree with anyone forcing it on others.

“If people are working on the job and they want to have a ham sandwich or a bacon and egg sandwich, they should have one.”

Calm down now, Joe.

There is a meat ban. No where did it say the Oswals were vegan.

The Oswals are vegetarians for both religious and other reasons and Mrs. Oswal says that the meat industry “rapes the earth” and by continuing to eat meat you are creating a vicious cycle.

Sources say some workers at the site are eating meat out of spite.

In a perfect world, an employer would let you do as you please, but unfortunately rules for working, dressing and behaving usually are included in the paycheck package.

If what goes in the workers mouth during lunchtime is regulated, they should relax in knowing it’s only an eight hour shift.

And better hope the vegetarian Trumps don’t have to come back to say, “You’re fired!”

So Moby, George Bush and Jesus are all over at Moby’s house sitting in the living room and George gets hungry.

There really is no punchline to this, just a fantasy of the bald vegan musician he told to Rachael Ray, when he revealed his kitchen is stocked full of condiments and vitamins.

“You know, I think it would be nice to have George Bush and Jesus over for dinner,” Moby said.

What would he serve for the two leaders?

“Well, George spent a lot of time in Texas, so I’d make some rice and beans and salsa, maybe some guacamole,” Moby said. “I’m not a particularly good cook, but I can make reasonably palatable bachelor food.”

Moby’s Mexican fare may need a few miracles before it’s palatable, but it would definitely answer some scholars question of whether Jesus was a vegetarian.

Todd Wilbur

Todd Wilbur, author of Top Secret Recipes, has a knack for duplicating entrees from restaurants like Olive Garden or Applebee’s without getting the written instructions.

His cloning of the Big Mac and other classics has sold him several million books and earned him appearances on Oprah, MTV News and Live with Regis and Kathy Lee.

To get recipes down, Wilbur will try several tricks, such as sitting really close to the kitchen to watch (you’d think the places would learn to recognize him and give him the boot) and even pretending to be a strict vegetarian or vegan to see if an item has animal ingredients in it.

Vegetarians could sure use him in a restaurant audit.

Hidden items like egg whites and chicken broth discovered in your favorite dish a year after you eat it religiously would happen no more if Wilbur served as veg detective, uncovering the truth at mainstream eateries that offer veggie items and even meatless restaurants which make vegan claims about that macaroni and cheese that still leaves your stomach feeling like you had a shot of lactose.

“I found this niche that made [cooking] fun and different and a game,” Wilbur told Las Vegas Weekly. “And that’s what I like — games,” Wilbur says. “I haven’t gone through Dumpsters yet, but I’m not above that.”

The Chicago Diner in Chicago, Illinois is celebrating its 27th anniversary this week with specials on food, gift bags with free veggie goodies and more.

The restaurant with the slogan, “Meat-Free Since ’83” is completely vegetarian and almost entirely vegan, featuring meatless versions of classic diner foods like burgers, steak, breakfast foods, pastas and desserts.

Ellen DeGeneres is so much a fan of the diner’s vegan hot wings that after trying them in the Windy City, she had some Fed Exed to her studios in California later.

The hot wings are made from seitan and come in barbecue or hot and spicy style with ranch dressing.

Part of the celebration includes a few menu items available at 1983 prices like various beers and wines, the diner burger, black bean burger, gryos, the Radical Reuben and the Philly Steak.

The hot wings aren’t on the ’83 price menu, but they won’t break the bank if you stop by Chicago’s vegetarian food hot spot on Halsted this week.

Chipotle founder, co-CEO and co-chair Steve Ells says the pork sourced for their products is obtained from Niman Ranch, a small network of family farms that raise their pigs on open pastures or deeply bedded barns, feed them vegetarian diets and give them no hormones or antibiotics.

After switching to this supplier, Ells found sales increased even after having to charge an extra dollar to cover the cost of the non factory farmed meat.

Paul Wills, manager of Niman Ranch Pork Company, is a contributor in Moby and Miyun Park‘s edited collection of essays, Gristle, where he discusses the strain big farms put on small family ones.

Although Wills may be a fish out of water in a book edited by a vegan with a vegetarian slant, the experience with Chipotle restaurant teaches us that the more humane way to raise an animal for food not only puts less stress on the organism and the environment, but results in more satisfaction for the consumer.

Niman Ranch’s “ethical meat” is not a vegetarian carnita, but it’s a step forward in taking better care of the world and every living thing, including part time vegetarians, that inhabits it.

Reggae musician Buju Banton is in a legal battle with the Pinellas County Jail over his ability to get vegetarian food while housed there.

Banton was imprisoned in December for allegedly planning the distribution of cocaine.

He claimed the jail did not respond to his requests for vegetarian meals and as a result, he lost 40 pounds.

A judge ruled last week that his claim of losing 40 pounds was false.

According to hiphopdx, Banton is a strict Rastafarian, and many do not eat red meat.
