Vegetarian Star

The former fish eating vegetarian Miley Cyrus has been caught once again professing her love for greasy fast food.

A source claimed that while Miley was staying in a hotel recently, she ordered enough animal laden products to clog every fan’s arteries. Life and Style reported:

“She sent out for… cheese fries and seven burgers. She had two Double Takes with double the meat, two Atomic Burgers with chili and jalapeños, two Cheeez Please Burgers and a classic burger with secret sauce.”

Miley was also said to have washed this all down with an Oreo milkshake.

It’s probably a safe bet that Miley only ate one of the burgers she ordered, while her crew gobbled up the rest.

But even so, couldn’t Miley have held the beef and sent for some whole wheat pasta and salad instead?

Her insatiable appetite for fast food is what caused Miley’s vegetarian downfall to begin with.

“I like fried food,” she had said. “I wasn’t able to give up the meat. I want a steak or a burger from McDonald’s every once in a while. A double-double is just way too good. I’ve still got to eat. I’ve got the rest of my life to stay healthy.”

Telvision hosts of The Hour Michelle McManus and Stephen Jardine summed up some of their favorite moments from the show during 2009.

McManus said hosting musician Juliette Lewis was one of her most memorable episodes and she was rewarded with vegetarian haggis in a Scottish goodie bag.

Jardine’s favorite interview was with none other than vegan activist and musician Chrissie Hynde.

The Hour returns to television January 4 2010.

If more moments like Juliette and Chrissie occur next year, producers might have to rename it The Hour of Veg Love.

Dr. Neal Barnard

Ugh!

Who wants to think about New Year’s Resolutions before the holiday season is over?

Unfortunately, if you’ve been on the Thanksgiving to Christmas diet and stuffing yourself with every cookie invented, it may be time to start thinking how to drop the 10 pounds even vegan desserts will ultimately put on the belly.

Dr. Neal Barnard, president of the Physicians Committee For Responsible Medicine, has offered a few tips at the Huffington Post and of course the pres of an organization that promotes a vegan diet recommends the V word.

“Abundant research has shown that the more vegetarian meals people eat, the easier time they have maintaining a healthy weight. And the most powerful meals are vegan. In May, researchers at Loma Linda University published results of a study of nearly 61,000 Americans. Vegans were the thinnest, meat-eaters were the heaviest, and fish-eaters and ovo-lacto-vegetarians were between the two. People who switch to a vegan diet typically lose about a pound a week–and this prescription for weight loss doesn’t require portion control or calorie-counting. A meatless diet also helps reduce the risk of heart disease, type two diabetes, and some cancers.”

If there is a Del Taco in your area, Shane Told of Silverstein can point you in the right direction for what to order from the menu.

Shane recently Tweeted that the Veggie Works Burrito works quite nicely for a vegetarian–but not a vegan.

Del Taco’s menu states Veggie Works is filled with, “slow cooked beans, plus rice, guacamole, zesty red sauce, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and grated cheddar cheese.”

Del Taco also states it’s “so yummy you’ll want to marry it.”

True, the U.S. has made a lot of progress with human rights, but unfortunately, a union between man or woman and vegetarian burrito has yet to be made legitimate.

“Give up meat one day and then two days maybe. It’s a very, very intelligent idea.”

—Yoko Ono, on Twitter, giving a shout out to the Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Going veg for one day a week sure is tasty AND intelligent.

Kathy Freston has already blogged all the fascinating statistics on the effects of eating less meat.

Like the fact that if everyone did a Meat Free Monday (or Friday, Saturday or Sunday), the United States would save 1.5 billion pounds of crops normally fed to livestock.

That’s enough to feed the state of New Mexico for over a year!

After the victory of preventing downer cattle from entering the food supply, the Humane Society of the United States would like to extend this rule to pigs as well.

Nicole Lapin, CNN anchor reports: “Not only cruel, but the Humane Society says it’s also dangerous to our health to have so-called downers enter into our food supply.”

Perhaps everyone should follow Lapin’s lead and go veg, excluding pigs and all animals from their diets.

The National Pork Producers Association insists proper precautions are already being made to ensure diseased pig product isn’t delivered to the consumer, but Dr. Michael Greger of the HSUS has a different opinion.

Watch to find out.

Alyson Hannigan was a guest on Gordon Ramsay‘s Cookalong Live show where she, LeAnn Rimes, Cedric the Entertainer and Ramsay made some really ugly steak.

But steak’s not cute, so Alyson will eat it.

“I don’t eat cute things,” Alyson says, when Ramsay asks her about vegetarianism around minute 4:18 in the video. “I’m a cute-a-tarian…Anything I want as a pet, I won’t eat it.”

Does Alyson even remember where steak comes from? Who wouldn’t want an adorable cow as an animal companion…as long as the landlord’s pet deposit wasn’t too high.

The How I Met Your Mother actress was a vegan before getting pregnant and experiencing strong cravings for meat.

When Pope Benedict XVI issued a statement regarding World Day of Peace on January 1 and protecting the environment, PETA’s Vice President of Policy and Government Affairs, Bruce Friedrich, took the opportunity to ask him to serve only vegan meals at the Vatican.

“On behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) and our more than 2 million members and supporters worldwide, we applaud your strong exhortations for environmental protection, and we urge you to consider the fact that the most effective action an individual can take to fight climate change is to go vegan (which means not consuming poultry, fish, meat, eggs or dairy products).”

Pope Benedict XVI has spoken out on animal welfare issues before, like factory farming and the production of foie gras.

When asked by German journalist, Peter Seewald, “Are we allowed to make use of animals, and even to eat them?” His Holiness answered:

“At any rate, we can see that they are given into our care, that we cannot just do whatever we want with them. Animals, too, are God’s creatures. Certainly, a sort of industrial use of creatures, so that geese are fed in such a way as to produce as large a liver as possible, or hens live so packed together that they become just caricatures of birds, this degrading of living creatures to a commodity seems to me in fact to contradict the relationship of mutuality that comes across in the Bible.”
