Vegetarian Star

As mentioned before, The Record reported that a man named Andrew Hunt will be writing weekly letters to Sarah Palin, sharing the benefits of a vegan lifestyle and recipes.

A writer at Slashfood heard this news and unfortunately, doesn’t agree with Hunt’s vegetarian agenda and suggests Sarah use her entrepreneurial spirit to profit from a lifestyle of loving meat.

Specifically, moose meat.

In his “letter” to Palin, he writes:

“I am writing to you, because I think a chain of patriotic restaurants inspired by your persona is exactly what this country needs, featuring an underrated ingredient that you have actually hunted. Delicious, lean, gamey moose”

“Imagine: a franchise of affordable restaurants with you as their spokes-governor — Sarah’s Moose Hut! Or International House of Moose! TGIMoose?”

“That’s right. Moose burgers. Moose stew. Moose cakes. Moose dumplings. Moose loaf. Moose kabobs. Moose casserole. Moose and potatoes. Moose lo mein. Moose tacos. The mind boggles.”

While The Veg Star can’t agree with ethics of the aforementioned business plan, in the true spirit of capitalism, International House of Moose would be Palin’s right to pursue.

One would hope she would at least meet a vegan halfway and offer faux breaded moose wings (deep fried in vegetable oil separately from the real thing) on the TGIMoose menu.

Comedian and Celebrity Apprentice competitor Carol Leifer spoke with  Miami New Times when she confirmed the rumor that she really does have a copy of Michael Vick‘s apology for his involvement with dogfighting.

“Yes, we have it framed in our house,” Leifer said. “I had heard that the Humane Society had put it up for auction, and I thought this could be a double whammy of what us Jews call a mitzvah. I plan on selling it again when the time is really ripe, and I’ll donate the money again to another animal rights group.”

Leifer said Vick’s handwriting is horrible, along with his spelling.

Ouch!

Leifer shares company with another famous vegan lesbian comedian, Ellen DeGeneres.

“It’s funny because I had been vegan for about six months when I went to a taping of Ellen’s show. She had heard that I was vegan and was inquiring about it. Lesbians are really known for being animal lovers. Gay women always have so many pets.”

Not long ago, Leona Lewis was reported to be stuck in a hotel with nothing to eat but cheese sandwiches.

However, her recent interview with the Mail Online showed she experienced a significant food upgrade.

At the request of her management, Leona received a “well-grilled tofu, grilled asparagus, steamed broccoli and a side of soy sauce.”

At home, Leona is all about having someone do the cooking for her.

“I get takeaways for tea, or beans on toast. I don’t like bread that much. I get Chinese – it’s so much effort to cook.”

The best restaurant, of course, is mom’s kitchen.

“My mum always cooks; she babies me.”

Any chance of Leona hiring mom as her on the road personal veggie chef?

Sarah Palin has a new pen pal, but it’s not one she might not write back to.

According to The Record, Andrew Hunt, a history professor at the University of Waterloo, has written the former Republican vice presidential candidate a letter, urging her to consider the benefits of veganism–both for people and animals. He even plans to throw in a few recipes.

But he’s not stopping at one note.

Hunt plans to write a letter every week, for the next year. Or at least until the restraining order is issued.

“I intend to send them to her very religiously,” Hunt said. “I intend to persuade her that this is a much better. I tend to write them as if I’m sitting at the dinner table with her.”

Of course, no vegan would ever voluntarily sit at the dinner table with Palin, given her attitudes about animals as food, as evident in her book, Going Rogue, when she wrote, “I always remind people from outside our state that there’s plenty of room for all Alaska’s animals — right next to the mashed potatoes.”

Still Hunt insists he will play the nice guy.

“I understand why (Palin) loves meat. I ate it most of my life,” he said. “I’m trying to set a very respectful tone toward meat eaters.”

“All my life I have loved animals, but I was living in ignorance and not really aware of the suffering caused by my choices,” Hunt  added. “I’m not saying people should stop drinking milk or eating meat. All I’m asking is they think about the consequences of those decisions.”

Aldo Zilli is opening his new vegetarian Italian restaurant, Zilli Green, next weekend in Soho in London.

Zilli says it was none other than Meat-Free Monday man Paul McCartney himself who encouraged him to change the food on his menu and on his own plate.

From News Of The World:

“A few years ago, Paul wrote to me about the amount of meat I had on the menus at my London restaurants,” Zilli said. “He felt we didn’t need to offer exotic meats, such as ostrich. I had to agree.”

“Creating vegetarian Italian dishes was a challenge. But it’s a good move in a society where vegetarianism is now common place.”

Zilli Green is set to open this weekend on Valentine’s Day.

Take your sweetie there to celebrate love, good food and good health.

Mother Nature Network says that Alicia Silverstone is a fan of Nicobella Vegan Organic Dark Truffles.

Has she already dropped the hints to hubby Christopher Jarecki that he needs to buy these before February 14 if he ever wants Pecan Crusted Seitan made for him again?

Nicobella replaces the ganache center that is usually comprised of cream and sugar, and instead sweetens with syrups of brown rice and agave.

Nicobella truffles come in varieties such as Walnut Flaxseed Crunch, Sunflower Banana Butter, Pumpkin Chai, Blueberry Almond, Green Ginger Tea and Pure Coco Bliss.

Jennifer Swab, director of sustainability for the Sierra Club Green Home, took a trip to Chrissie Hynde‘s vegan Italian restaurant, The Vegiterranean.

As expected, reviews of the restaurant’s food were great.

“So how was my meal at VegiTERRANEAN? Spiced tomatoes and chick peas with baby arugula, tofu feta and crustini. Fresh tomato and artichoke bisque with fresh dill. For the main course, fresh whole wheat linguini carbonara with smoked “gardein” chicken, asparagus and leeks. “Gardein” is a type of garden grown protein, actually quite tasty and fulfilling in a tofu sort of way for us “gotta have meat” types. Prices are moderate, the food was fabulous — kudos to executive chef J. Scot Jones — but the service was on the uneven side at best. Let’s just say the kitchen operations could use a tune up.”

Uh-oh. Uneven service doesn’t sound like a total kitchen nightmare, but could operations behind the counter be in need of a little Gordon Ramsay foul mouthed pep talk?

Ramsay should visit anyway, and be forced to down some tofu as punishment for his dozens of snide anti-veg remarks.

Russell Brand had lunch with a friend at Muma Vegetarian restaurant in West Hollywood this week and then took to playing with his toy water gun.

Russell has been getting cozy with “I Kissed a Girl” singer Katy Perry, who’s said before she would become a vegetarian if it weren’t for her love of chicken.

Russell should consider taking his “lady friend” to Muma more often to help sway her to the other side.
