Vegetarian Star

Black Book Mag caught up with several celebrities at the Why Did I Get Married Too? premiere to find out where they enjoy getting good food in the feature, “Where Celebs Go Out.”

Janet Jackson and Cicely Tyson know where to combine delicious and healthy, as both ladies mentioned vegetarian and vegan restaurants as their favorites.

Janet likes Cafe Sunflower in Atlanta, Georgia as well as Veggieland.

Cicely recommends Pure Food and Wine in LA.

Cicely once said she treats her body like an expensive car, by putting only the best fuel in it.

“I mean, if you have a Rolls-Royce and you pull up to a gasoline station, you don’t put crud in it. You put the most expensive oil and gas in your car. You want it to be treated well in order for it to serve you well. We should start thinking that about this body of ours.”

X17 Online claims they caught Anne Hathaway going through the In-N Out Drive through.

Hathaway has been reportedly trying to stick to a mostly vegan diet.

In the picture on the site, it looks like Hathaway’s friend is the only one caught carrying the burger bag.

More importantly though, when is In-N-Out going to get with it and offer veggie burger selections on the menus like other traditional fast food burger joints who have learned to do the same (aka. Burger King).

Michelle Obama‘s gardening adventures in the White House backyard started a trend of local eating, sustainable practices and a return to the basics of cooking among ladies worldwide.

Will Tobey Maguire be the one to lead the men to get their fingers dirty?

The vegetarian actor is helping launch The Teaching Garden, a initiative that, according to iVillage, will, “promote ecologically sound food and lifestyle choices.”

The organization was founded by Tobey’s wife’s stepmother and inspired by the First Lady’s move to reduce obesity in children.

Maguire, along with pro volleyball player Gabrielle Reece, L.A. Laker Derek Fisher and Iron Chef America’s Cat Cora will cook with elementary school children in California and plant a vegetable garden at a kickoff event next week.

If you’re a health conscious cinema fan, it’s tough going to the theatre these days.

Just when you’ve devised the perfect scheme to sneak your tofu jerky, soy milk and veggies in, the cap falls off your tightly sealed wrapped container, leaving you smothered with ranch dip.

A Sony executive wants to change that and says although he’s not here to spoil the tradition of popcorn and candy at the big screen, he’d like to see healthier options on the menu too.

Sony Pictures CEO Michael Lynton said, “I don’t mean to close the window for popcorn, soda and candy. Audiences love them and should always be able to buy them at your theaters.” Lynton added that “bringing healthier snacks into your concession stands, you would be helping our country meet an urgent public health need.”

Lynton suggested theatres offer veggie and dip, fruit cups and granola.

Sony conducted a survey of 26 theatres and found that 42% of parents would spend more at the concession stands if healthier items were available.

Rachael Ray threw a food party at the annual South By Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas.

There are no official vegetarian chefs on the Food Network yet, but thankfully there are several chefs who are highlighting healthier, flexitarian options and incorporating vegetarian recipes into their repertoire.

Ray featured a vegetarian option at the SXSW fest, something she says is normal for any party she caters for.

“I always do a meat, a vegetarian and a poultry item,” Ray told Wall Street Journal.

This year Ray offered vegetarian taquitos that she said were, “really tasty to snack on.”

If you couldn’t make it to SXSW to sample the taquitos, have a festival at home with this Potato Soyrizo Taquito recipe.

Barack Obama doesn’t want to hear a lecture about his cholesterol, but Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine, has given him one anyway.

Besides the gentle nudge to give up cigarettes, Dr. Barnard explains that the best way for the President of the United States to get his numbers to an acceptable range is to accept more vegetables–and less meat.

Dr. Barnard points out that going vegetarian, even part time, will impact Obama’s cholesterol more than genes and exercise.

“First, exercise won’t lower your cholesterol. It may bump up “good” cholesterol slightly and improve your basketball game or your stride, but you definitely can’t count on it to lower your “bad” cholesterol. It won’t.”

“Second, we almost certainly cannot blame genes. For the vast majority of people, high cholesterol comes down to diet.”

And while less red meat is great, you really need to go veg all the way to get the full benefits of diet on cholesterol.

“Third, switching from beef to chicken and fish has almost no effect on cholesterol. It lowers “bad” cholesterol only about 5 percent–and that’s not enough.”

“The answer is behind your house, in the White House garden. Foods from plants have essentially no cholesterol and are free of the animal fat that causes the body to make cholesterol. If you skipped meat, dairy products, and eggs for even a few weeks, chances are your cholesterol would drop right into the normal range.”

Hope Obama is convinced.
