Ellen DeGeneres Vegan Chili And Nachos Recipe (Video)

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, February 12th, 2010 in Chefs, Food & Drink, Recipes, TV Hosts, Videos.

Ellen DeGeneres‘ right hand vegan food man, Roberto Martin, demonstrated how to make vegan chili and nachos on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The recipe, which can be found here, uses lean Mexican flavored soy crumbles and vegan cheese for sprinkling, plus homemade nacho cheese.

The vegan chili sounds delish, but something sounds weird about the homemade nacho cheese, which is mainly made up of tofu and vegan mayonnaise…what the heck did chef Martin do with the nutritional yeast, an ingredient that was seemingly missing, but otherwise normally found in vegan cheese?

Maybe it was nutritional yeast taco seasoning Martin poured in?

Watch and solve the mystery yourself.

Singer Leona Lewis spends a busy day in London promoting her new single 'I Got You'

Leona Lewis took to the Twitter to slam the Brit Awards for wanting to serve foie gras at the celebration.

“I was outraged 2 hear that the Brit Awards were planning 2 serve foie-gras at the ceremony. They hav now removed it from the menu,well done!”

This smart gal wanted to educate her fans on what foie gras really was.

“In case u didn’t no, Foie-gras is duck that is forced fed in a sickening cruel process and is banned in the uk.”

While the BRITS took forced fed duck off the menu, there’s still room for improvement.

“The BRITS menu sadly won’t b ‘cruelty free’ however it is still a major victory & they are taking an ethical stance! Well done and thank u”

Rush Limbaugh Too Liberal–Dr. Neal Barnard On Diet

Dr. Neal Barnard

Back in December, Rush Limbaugh received a vegetarian care package from the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) after he was hospitalized for chest pains.

If Rush hadn’t been such a filthy dirty liberal, he would have never landed there.

That’s right, Rush is about as loose as Howard Stern…when it comes to diet.

In an article from CrazySexyLife, Dr. Neal Barnard, president of PCRM says Rush and everyone else needs to be more conservative–or face dire health consequences.

“As a doctor, I’m offering one bit of advice, not just to Rush, but to all Americans: We need to be more conservative. As conservative as possible, in fact.”

“Indeed, people who stick to an entirely plant-based diet, as part of an overall healthy lifestyle, can do more than just prevent heart disease; they can actually reverse it, as was demonstrated in the now-classic studies of Dean Ornish, M.D.”

“The only good thing about a health scare is that it reminds us how important our diets and lifestyles are to our well-beings. It’s time to trade our cheeseburgers for veggie burgers, beef tacos for bean burritos, and remote controls for tennis shoes. Yes, that’s my prescription for Rush—but it’s also my prescription for us all.”

Sounds like a radio talk show to tune in to.

The Colbert Report Mon – Thurs 11:30pm / 10:30c
Jonathan Safran Foer

Colbert Report Full Episodes Political Humor Economy

Stephen Colbert recently hosted Jonathan Safran Foer on The Colbert Report to discuss his latest book, Eating Animals.

Foer discussed the realities of how factory farms and the mass production of meat affects animals, giving the example that turkeys today don’t get it on.

“The Thanksgiving turkey isn’t even capable of sexually reproducing anymore,” Foer said.

When Colbert asked how turkeys multiply, Foer first joked that they are stimulated by porn.

Stimulated by PETA anti-fur ads featuring naked women, no doubt.

“They’re all artificially inseminated,” Foer claimed.

Not resisting the chance to offend, Colbert placed a plate of bacon in front of Foer, which Foer, keeping in theme with animal reproduction, labeled as merely, “flaccid.”

Stella McCartney Attends Food Inc. UK Premier

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, February 10th, 2010 in Film & TV, Food & Drink.

Food, Inc : UK Premiere

Stella McCartney and her sister Mary recently attended the UK premier of Food Inc., a film on the food industry, corporations that play key roles in it and how this affects human and animal health.

Although the film isn’t specifically directed at converting the world to vegetarian, Stella believes the film will force people to reconsider the meat they eat after watching it.

“Once you’ve seen the film, you’ll be educated to know how to make responsible decisions about what you buy,” Stella said.

Director of the Oscar nominated film, Robert Kenner, said, “There’s this myth that our food comes from a small little farm with white picket fence and a red barn. So much of it comes from mega factories and it’s becoming more and more industrialized.”

”They’re using more and more chemicals and creating very strange food that’s not ultimately good for the land it grows on, not good for the water, not good for the animals, and not good for us the consumer.”
