Vegetarian Star

Gobble, gobble, gobble have you found the perfect tofu turkey recipe yet?

Ginnifer Goodwin has teamed up with Farm Sanctuary to launch their Adopt-a-Turkey program.

The Big Love star is participating in the program that was designed to end the practice of commercially raised turkeys that are slaughtered in masses annually.

About 45 million turkeys are slaughtered in the U.S. for Thanksgiving each year, according to the Farm Sanctuary website.

“After spending time with the rescued turkeys at Farm Sanctuary’s shelter and seeing how similar they are to my furry companion animals at home, I knew I needed to do everything in my power to protect these friendly and curious birds from the daily pain and suffering they endure on factory farms,” said Goodwin.

“With so many delicious, cruelty-free Thanksgiving dishes available, there is no reason why any living being should be treated like an unfeeling commodity. I encourage everyone to start a new, compassionate Thanksgiving tradition this year and Adopt-A-Turkey, rather than eat one.”

For a one time donation of $25, you can adopt a turkey living at Farm Sanctuary and receive an adoption certificate in your name or donate sponsorships as gifts to families and friends.

Although Tobey Maguire had convinced Natalie Portman to go vegan for awhile last year, from an interview with Jake Gyllenhaal in Interview magazine, Natalie gave hints that she still might do the dairy.

However, a recent interview with the La Times confirms Natalie is indeed vegan, thanks to reading Jonathan Safran Foer‘s upcoming book, Eating Animals.

“There are certain things you can have different opinions on, but then other things, like torturing animals, [are] just wrong,” Natalie said and added she planned to become more outspoken on animal rights.

During the interview, Natalie was even munching on a soy cheese sandwich.

Ah, there’s no better way to show activism that by edible  example.

Natalie’s latest film, Kosher Vegetarian, premieres tomorrow October 16.

Jason Schwartzman considers himself an environmentalist, but insists he’s still in awe of Ted Danson‘s eco magic.

“I have solar panels on my house for my pool and I’m a very adamant recycler. I have a Prius. I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time. But I’m not Ted,” Jason told mnn.com about his Bored To Death co-star.

Jason took lessons from Ted about ocean conservation.

“Every little bit helps,” he added.

Jason should give himself more credit just for following the veg life.

According to a UN report, it takes 8,449 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef versus 60 gallons of water required to produce a pound of potatoes, or 108 or 168 gallons of water needed to produce a pound of wheat or corn.

Jason’s helping to save the planet every time he opens his mouth to take a bite!

The New York Post ran an article about Milwaukee Brewers baseball player Prince Fielder, the vegetarian who’s wife picked up a copy of Skinny Bitch and went on a mission to convert her husband into one.

It worked.

And Prince’s game has never been better.

From the article:

“Wouldn’t you like to know what his wife is putting in that magic spinach! And wouldn’t his competition like to know as well. Maybe instead of that pre-game burger the other sluggers might want to spend a little more time at the salad bar and see if they can get a green recharge to kick-sprout their batting average.”

Right, on!

Yvonne Smith "The Traveling Vegetarian"

Yvonne Smith, otherwise known as The Traveling Vegetarian, has been named one of Maxim’s hottest girls on Facebook.

Her friend requests should grown exponentially now, especially since she’s pictured in a bikini on Maxim’s website.

The Traveling Vegetarian is a Food Network like show about food, restaurants and travel wrapped in vegetarian themed video segments.

Yvonne was asked by Maxim, “What fun fact, talent, or mutant superpower of yours should guys know about?”

“I’m vegan! I’m also really good at manifesting porn-star parking spaces,” she answered.

Uh, we won’t touch on the last fact, but…go Yvonne!

Here’s a clip from one of Yvonne’s videos where she discusses a recipe for vegan basil cream sauce made with raw, unsalted cashews.

Larry King Live recently featured a segment that highlighted the dangers of consuming meat.

Bill Marler, attorney for Stephanie Smith, the woman paralyzed from the waist down after eating an e.coli tainted hamburger served on King’s guest panel.

“There are more Stephanies,” Marler said. “Grossly under calculated people who get sick…We’ve really gutted the ability for local and state health departments, CDC, to surveil food borne illness. There are a lot of Stephanies, a lot of Abbeys, a lot of Kevins-they just don’t necessarily get tied to a particular hamburger patty.”

Sad, frightening, and disgusting all in one.

There’s only one surefire way to monitor illness from eating meat-stay away from it! Grab a veggie patty instead.

Watch the clip for the entire segment.
