Vegetarian Star

Jenn Brown is a television host, personality, and producer who’s credits include the only female correspondent for Inside the NFL, covering boxing and martial arts for Showtime Sports, and the Superbowl.

Jenn has a thing for vegetarian food, but hasn’t made the complete switch yet.

Here’s an example of what you might find in her shopping cart:

Boca Flame Grilled Meatless Burgers

“I don’t eat a lot of red meat, but when I’m in the mood for a burger, I grill one of these soy versions and smear it with a little ketchup and mustard or hummus.”

Galaxy Mozzarella Flavor Rice Shreds

“This soy free cheese melts just like the regular kind but has just 70 calories and 1 gram of saturated fat. I use it on top of beans and homemade pizza.”

A non vegetarian who eats Boca Burgers and dairy alternative cheese?

Oh, Jenn, you’re so close darling. Just take the plunge and go full veg!

Anybody who knows Russell Simmons knows he takes to yoga and vegan food like a fish to water.

So it was no surprise when Russell Tweeted about his dining experience at the Jivamukti Cafe, located in the Jivamukti Yoga center.

“In the jivamukti cafe eating spicey tempeh salad and dahl (indian style lentil soup) jay z playing”

Jivamukti boasts it grows and harvests its own wheatgrass and sprouts in house, along with baking fresh vegan goodies.

As an example of how Jivamukti might serve home grown sprouts, they’ve included a recipe for a Sprout Bowl for you to try at home.

“I go all organic vegetarian, lot of fruits and water! I workout daily, the usual “star” stuff:) I get plenty of sleep, I think that helps, too. And I never go outside without my parasol to lessen the sun rays to the skin. Yes, my friends make fun of me but I know it works, and what works on camera works for me:).”

—-Mallika Sherawat, in an interview with everythingdesi, on her diet and fitness tips for her fans. Of course, a little dance exercise doesn’t hurt either.

Mallika is rumored to be teaming up with fellow vegetarian Russell Simmons, taking hip-hop dance lessons in preparation for a new film about American politics.

Although we’re still disappointed Hayley Williams of Paramore is not a total veghead like we thought, we’re happy to report she’s still partaking in a veggie burger here and there.

“gnarly press day pt. 1 is coomplete! lunch @ the diner in camden. best veggie burger i ever had.”

Yes, there are Tweets of her talking about stuffing her face with hotdogs, but…hey, we’ll take what we can get from one of our favorite Twilight soundtrack gals.

Plus she still digs Gardenburgers.

The Indigo Girls are on tour promoting their album, Poseidon and the Bitter Bug.

Amy Ray, is the vegetarian of the duo consisting of her and Emily Saliers, and the pennlive.com described them in polar opposites:

“Amy Ray is the country girl; Emily Saliers likes the city. Amy plays punk while Emily is more R&B. Amy is a vegetarian; Emily’s a foodie.”

“But take this chemistry of opposites, stir it together and you get a harmony of melody and rhythm instantly identifiable as the Indigo Girls.”

We’re all about the Girls differences making for a diverse item, but not too thrilled that the opposite of vegetarian is described as a  foodie.

From Websters, foodie is described as, “a person having an avid interest in the latest food fads.”

So the opposite of that is a vegetarian who’s been eating plain beans for the past 2 decades? No way!

Any veg knows we can sample the latest way to do chicken, beef, or pork faux style in the kitchen.

Looking for a cheese ball, fondue or other dairy delight? Even a vegan can grab a hard or soft variety of cheese at a natural food store needed to complete the dish.

Not only that, but with more people incorporating meatless meals into their diets these days, for environmental or economic reasons, looks like we’re the ones starting the “fads.”

Vegetarians aren’t the opposites of foodies.

They are the new foodies.

Forrest Kline of hellogoodbye showed off his vegan exhibitionist side when he Tweeted a pic of a vegan pizza (though we think the nose and chin pictured isn’t Forrest).

“Epic vegan BBQ chicken pizza. Andy put ketchup on it. Ketchup & BBQ? Arch enemies.”

But oh, Forrest, how can ketchup and barbecue feud when, as any veg chef knows, one can easily be spiced up to create the other?

If you’re looking to salivate with inspiration, keep looking at the pic.

If you’re looking to make your own vegan barbecue chicken pizza, here’s a recipe idea.

The Dalai Lama has been quite a busy man.

At the age of 74, he has spent the last two months visiting Taiwan, Switzerland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Germany and Poland and has now embarked on a North American tour.

At his recent stop at the Peace Summit in Vancouver, there were several celebrities on the guest list, including vegetarians Christie Brinkley and Steve Martin.

The Dalai Lama himself follows a mostly vegetarian diet, but has been criticized in the past, most publicly by Paul McCartney, for following doctors’ advice that he needed meat when he was ill.

After the Dalai Lama stated, “As Buddhists we believe in not causing any suffering to any sentient beings,” Paul wrote to him and said, “Forgive me for pointing this out, but if you eat animals then there is some suffering somewhere along the line.”

Vegan triathlete Brendan Brazier is giving everyone the full lecture on plant based protein and building muscle at Kris Carr‘s website Crazysexylife.com.

Plant protein is great, Brendan insists, because it doesn’t increase the inflammation in the muscle as much as animal protein does after a workout, allowing you to recover faster and lift more weights.

“In place of isolates and acid-forming animal foods, there are host of plant-based options that will ensure inflammation be kept to a minimum. Post workout, excellent plant-based protein sources include: hemp, pea, and rice protein. And while protein is a crucial component for muscle repair and building, so too are essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6), vitamins, minerals, enzymes, probiotics, antioxidants and a host of other nutritional components that can be found in a variety of plant-based whole foods. This being the case, the post workout smoothies will deliver greater results if it contains these components, not merely protein.”
