Vegetarian Star

Fast food restaurants traditionally have a bad reputation, but founder of Chipotle, Steve Ells is looking to change that image.

“I think fast food to most people means cheap, highly processed,” he said. “At Chipotle, it’s just the opposite. Everything at Chipotle is fresh, never frozen, with the exception of corn.”

As you learned before, Chipotle is testing out its vegetarian burrito filling in the Washington, D.C. area as part of its mission to support ethical foods.

Here are a few more facts about this healthier chain of restaurants:

1. The cheese and sour cream used are free of synthetic growth hormone rBGH.

2. 45% of Chipotle’s beans are organic.

3. Restaurants buy food from local farmers when available.

Will Gwyneth Paltrow‘s website on health, food and travel, Goop.com, finally get the veggie turnover it needs?

Rumor has it that Paul McCartney has written a column for the actress about his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Just hope it doesn’t appear before Gwyneth’s recipes for turkey burgers.

“My family and I launched Meat Free Monday in the UK, an idea which has been gaining support from people like Tom Parker-Bowles who, after a lifetime of denigrating vegetarians, recently wrote in his Daily Mail column, “I wince at the memory of my boorish antics” and who pronounced himself “intrigued” by MFM: “There’s no doubting the plain common sense of the message…Meat Free Monday is something to really savour”. Another supporter is Al Gore who stated that initiatives like Meat Free Monday “represent a responsible and welcome component of a comprehensive strategy for reducing global warming pollution and simultaneously improving human health.”

“It’s amazingly easy to take one day in your week, Monday or any other day, and not eat meat. When you think about it, there are so many great alternatives, for instance, in Italian cooking, so many of the dishes are vegetarian already and Thai and Chinese cuisine are the same. All it means is that you have to think a bit about what you’ll eat that day but, in actual fact, far from being a chore, it’s a fun challenge.”

Apple CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs has been chosen as Person of The Week in ABC World News with Diane Sawyer.

“Most people know this much about Steve Jobs: In a California garage back in 1976, Steve Jobs built the brains of the Apple computer.”

“But you may not know as much about the private side of Jobs — he was adopted by working-class parents, dropped out of college, followed a guru, and became a Buddhist and a vegetarian. And he still worships Bob Dylan.”

Jobs’ veggie status has fluctuated from vegan to vegetarian to pescatarian to vegetarian again.

Disney’s Pixar Studios severed their ties with McDonald’s around the time Jobs took over as CEO there and he was once quoted saying, “there is value” (in fast-food tie-ins) “but there are also some concerns, as our society becomes more conscious of some of the implications of fast food.”

Let’s all go out and buy the VegOut iphone application, a tool to locate vegetarian restaurants, and celebrate the great combination of technology and healthy food.

Heather Mills‘ is a vegan entrepreneur who’s business accomplishments include acquiring Redwood Whole Foods company and opening a vegan cafe, V Bites in the UK.

But could her high hopes of being a successful veggie business guru be smashed by financial issues?

The Daily Mail reports recent low customer numbers at the V Bites Cafe and says profits at Redwood are at best modest, based on her possible plans for expansion.

“At present, although Redwood has a £3million turnover, its profits are pretty modest – in the last accounts they stood at £309,000. Not really a yearly sum that can keep Heather at the rate she is spending.”

Heather insists on giving back to communities, as her Hunts Point Alliance Charity continues to serve impoverished families in the Bronx in the U.S.

‘I have created a free cafe for the people to eat whenever they want,” Mills said.

“The million dollars are in the bank for them. I have given my life to charities.”

VV Brown, a former steak loving girl who’s thought about giving up eggs, is now a fish eating vegetarian who shared what she likes to buy at the grocery store in the regular column at The Guardian, What’s In Your Basket?

Speaking of fish, VV’s had a bad experience with seafood while on a date.

“He insisted we try oysters. I copied him with the lemon juice and the little fork, and down it went. It felt like swallowing snot – £2-a-pop snot. Never again”

Sounds traumatic enough for VV to chuck the whole pescatarian thing and go full veg!

VV’s basket contains hummus, which Dr. Briffa at The Guardian says is good for maintaining steady blood sugar levels.

“The chickpeas here will give a good sustained release of sugar into the bloodstream, and make a light yet quite nutritious pre-gig meal when combined with crudités (rather than crackers).”

So you already know, actress, great vegan cookbook author and eco goddess Alicia Silverstone loves gardening in the nude.

But did you know another veggie, Kristen Bell, likes to do her work in the buff as well?

Kristen has confessed to being “free-spirited” and makes breakfast nude.

Her latest film, When In Rome, features Kristen playing a woman visiting her sister in Rome, who suddenly draws the attention of several suitors.

Ironically, one of them is a billionaire sausage maker, played by Danny Devito.

Vegetarian celebrities have been known to introduce fellow cast and crew members on a film set to the wonderful world of meatless.

Bet if Kristen cooked fake sausages in the nude, every male on When In Rome would give up steak instantly.

Anne Hathaway was honored as Woman of the Year by the Harvard’s Hasty Pudding Theatricals student drama group.

The star in roles from The Princess Diaries and The Devil Wears Prada sat on top a red convertible as she moved along with the parade in the snow.

According to the American Chronicle, before the parade, Anne and her family enjoyed a vegetarian meal in the Upstairs on the Square restaurant, consisting of “winter greens and Honeycrisp apples, hand-rolled fresh ricotta cannelloni stuffed with seared mushrooms, walnut pesto, cream spinach and aged gruyere and, for dessert, warm apple bread pudding with cinnamon ice cream.”

The after ceremony celebrations contained veggie food as well, including hasty pudding.

You don’t have to be man or woman or the year to celebrate with the traditional New England dish.

Try the recipe for hasty pudding yourself, which can also be veganized.
