Vegetarian Star

Do you remember the moment you took pork off the fork?

Actress Daryl Hannah met a calf she couldn’t resist and it only took one kiss for her to give up veal and other animals for the rest of her life.

“I was 11 and on a road trip with my family,” Hannah said. “I saw a truck with some baby calves on it and for about an hour I petted and kissed this one calf and he was kissing me. This man came up and I said, ‘Excuse me Sir, what’s this calf’s name?’ and he just said, ‘Veal, tomorrow morning at seven.’ ”

“That was it. I could no longer disassociate the meal on the plate from the creature it had been.”

You already know that Dennis Kucinich would make everyone eat vegan brownies if he were dictator.

Now, Pamela Anderson has revealed how she would run the town if she were mayor.

“I would start a ‘Be Veggie for a Day’ campaign,” the blond sex symbol said.

If Pamela ever joins government in London, she’ll be able to direct everyone where to eat during Veggie Day.

“I love all vegetarian restaurants in London. There was a great one I found last time I was here called Mildreds on Lexington Street in Soho. I went to San Lorenzo on Beauchamp Place recently with my manager Peter Asher; it was delicious. We went with Marc Quinn, the sculptor, after our session working together, and we ran into Twiggy. I used to love going to Sketch with the handsome TV presenter Steve Jones but that was a long time ago.”

Will Sandra Bullock win an Oscar this year?

Many of the Academy Award watchers are predicting Miss Congeniality will nab a man statue of her own this year with her latest film, The Blind Side.

Although she might give an acceptance speech in front of millions for the first time, Sandra seems pretty happy with her performance in the kitchen for right now.

The Envelope writes that Sandra claims her greatest achievement of the week was, “cooking perfect vegetarian lasagna for her stepdaughter.”

There’s also the next big task of Sandra getting a Christmas tree this year.

If the perfect vegetarian lasagna is on your list of achievements this holiday season, take your pick from this list of recipes, which offer every combination from Tofu and Artichoke to Kosher Matzo.

Or cheat with an already prepared frozen lasagna from Amy’s Kitchen.

Whichever you choose, don’t forget to wear the waterproof mascara–you’ll need it after thanking friends and family for nominating you for best vegetarian chef.

The worst part about winter (besides being stuck in the snow, high heating bills and dry skin) is having to miss out on all the seasonal produce you now have to buy frozen.

Sam Kass and the rest of Michelle Obama‘s staff is protecting the White House organic garden this winter by using “hoop houses” that will help the cabbage, spinach, carrots and other produce absorb heat and protect from frost.

“Sugar doesn’t freeze, so spinach produces extra sugars in the winter to protect itself from frost,” Kass blogged. “It tastes almost like candy.”

Hmm…Is a veggie lover in the garden like a kid in a candy store?

Carrie Underwood Self Magazine January 2010

Carrie Underwood is on the January 2010 cover of Self Magazine and inside she’s divulging some secrets about her favorite foods, like Quorn, the meat substitute that’s made from a fungus, but sure doesn’t taste like one!

“If I eat too much before a show, I just want to sit down. Too little, and I’m starving. So I eat something small, like Quorn, a tasty meat-free protein, and green beans.”

Carrie has lent her support to the Humane Society in the past and doesn’t spare words when it comes to people who don’t care and look after animals.

“I hate it when people don’t take care of their pets. It’s important to spay or neuter them.”

Will Carrie be the next vegetarian celebrity to replace Bob Barker and be the public face for controlling the pet population?

Representative Dennis Kucinich completed an interview with reddit.com and gave a deliciously surprising answer when asked, “What would you do if you could be dictator of the United States for a day?”

“Well, I think I would order everyone to have vegan chocolate chip brownies,” Kucinich said.

Ah, the torture!

Kucinich and his wife Elizabeth are both vegans, and constantly voice their support for the lifestyle, including lobbying for vegetarian lunches in schools.

Where were the Kucinichs’ when you were forced to eat cardboard sandwiches at lunch?

“I’ve been a vegan since 1995, and as a result I’ve had great health, tremendous energy, and mental clarity … I had Crohn’s disease as a kid, and a pretty severe case of it, but when I changed my diet my symptoms began to disappear.”

Watch the video and eat your vegan brownie already, before Dictator Kucinich punishes you!

Oprah Winfrey tried the vegan life before as part of what she called her “inner makeover.”

If you’re interested in improving your inner beauty without sacrificing the taste of good food, you’ll be happy to hear the O has posted a recipe on her website, Heavenly Christmas Pudding, that has some deliciously vegan features to it.

The pudding calls for non dairy milk, such as hemp, rice or soy and the recipe creator suggests vegetable oils versus butter.

“I used coconut oil in place of the animal fat that’s traditionally used, but you could use ghee, butter or a vegan “butter” like Earth Balance instead,” says Aine McAteer.

Great idea, considering the saturated fat you find in regular butter.

Grab the recipe containing rich fruits like apricots, cranberries and prunes at oprah.com.
