Vegetarian Star

Not to be outdone by the Philadelphia Phillies, the home of the New York Mets baseball team, Citi Field Ball Park, is now offering vegetarian hotdogs and hamburgers.

Both Yves Spicy Veggie Hot Dog & Harvest Veggie Burgers will be available at concession stands throughout the parks.

Phillies or Mets. Phillies or Mets.

Will it come down to which veggie dog you prefer?

Dr. Oz has given OK! magazine some tips for couples that want a lasting relationship.

“The most important thing I can ever say to a married couple is reinvent the relationship every seven years,” Dr. Oz said. “The person you’re married to will change, and so will you. Every couple years, when the biological handcuffs come off that keep us together – the oxytocin and all the chemicals that come together so they can bear children and raise them to five or six years of age — when that chemical wears off, you’ve got to reconnect emotionally.”

He’s also tells how he almost completely messed up with wife of 25 years Lisa when he took her on her first date without learning what her dietary preferences were.

“I took my wife on our first date to Philly Cheesesteak — the big hangout place in Philly, and I didn’t know what a vegetarian meant,” he said. “Her mom made her a vegetarian when she was 12. That was a long time ago. The story of my life, I learned from her.”

Guys don’t learn the hard way Dr. Oz did.

When it comes to choosing the first date spot, it’s always ladies first.

Ask HER where to have dinner!

The Pretenders have just released a CD and DVD package, Pretenders:Live in London, which was filmed at Shepherds Bush Empire in 2009 by Pierre and Francois Lamoureux.

Chrissie Hynde interviewed with Stuff.co.nz about The Pretenders upcoming tour in Australia and New Zealand, where she confirmed that it only takes the smell of a sirloin to get her out of the mood during a concert.

“I start getting in a really bad mood and start thinking about slaughterhouses and I can’t concentrate,” Hynde said.

This unfortunately leads to a little abuse on the fans from Chrissie.

“And then I start berating the audience and calling them meat-eaters and when someone pays to come and see you they don’t really want you to tell them to f**k off.”

In the past, Chrissie has prevented both becoming nauseous from meat smells and giving her fans verbal tirades by asking the concession stands not to serve meat at her concerts, even offering fake versions of traditional sandwiches made with plant protein such as seitan.

Here’s hoping for Chrissie and everyone else’s sake that any supporting or opening act on the upcoming tour will respect her beliefs and nose.

“As much as I might like the band we’re supporting, if I don’t like their catering … it ruins my show if I can smell a burger van from the stage, the show’s over for me.”

The only animal Tony Denison from TNT‘s The Closer eats is fish, but he used to be a vegan before succumbing to cheese.

“I like Parmesan cheese too much,” Denison told Mother Nature Network.

Of all the cheeses to have a culinary affection for, Parmesan may be one of the worst.

As a hard cheese, manufacturers often use an animal based enzyme obtained from a calf’s stomach called rennet, while some soft cheeses may be used with a vegetable based one.

But if Parmesan is your thing, you’re not out of luck.

Several vegan recipes exists, most of which use either 1/2 cup of almonds or walnuts, 1 cup of nutritional yeast and a pinch of optional salt, blended in a food processor or blender.

Try it out on pasta, popcorn or bread and you’ll be one less excuse away from keeping your vegan vow.

Moby is a reformed vegan.

Although in the past, he sometimes refused to speak to non vegans, he confessed at the Genesis Awards that he used to have a holier than thou attitude towards the non vegans until he realized that being a jerk didn’t do much for converting or saving any creature other than his ego.

During an interview with Grant Butler of the Oregonian, the musician said, “There are a lot of people in the animal rights movement who can be very passionate and aggressive, and I applaud people’s passion, but when people are judgmental and aggressive, all you end up doing is getting other people to turn away in irritation. To change people’s minds, you have to respect the people you’re talking to. Part of that is presenting the facts available, and not being pedantic or judgmental.”

So expect to see a passionate, but respectful character if you catch him on his Gristle book tour.

And if you accidentally wear your old pair of leather shoes you bought before you changed, rest assured you won’t be crucified.

Katy Perry has a very healthful habit of consuming mushrooms (presumably the non hallucinogenic ones).

“I love mushrooms,” she said. “I could eat a ton of them. I really love truffles but I hardly ever get them. Mushrooms in general though are so healthy and good for you. I can’t get enough.”

Perhaps Perry could stuff more shrooms down her throat and less of her other favorite foods, which are filled with animal fat, saturated fat, cholesterol and more.

“My fave things include barbeque chicken chop at CPK Chinese, chicken salad at Chinchins, Rock shrimp and yellow tail sashimi at Nobu, Crispy beef at Mr.Chow’s, four curry chicken salad at Urth Cafe, my beloved double double at In-N-Out Burger. All so good!”

Oh, my.

Perry is engaged to vegetarian Russell Brand, who hopefully will exercise his powers of being the man of the house and say “No, no, no!” to Perry’s chicken a day and double double vice.

Hmm…was that sexist?

At any rate, kudos to Perry for liking mushrooms, a plant that has been indicated in boosting immunity.

“Studies show that mushrooms increase the production and activity of white blood cells, making them more aggressive. This is a good thing when you have an infection,” said Douglas Schar, DipPhyt, MCPP, MNIMH, director of the Institute of Herbal Medicine in Washington, DC.

So do what Schar said and load up on shiitake, portabello, cremini and even white button.
