Vegetarian Star

The Biggest Loser has inspired a host of products created after the hit reality TV show, including a cookbook, fitness DVDs, and protein powder.

Last episode coaches Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels did some shameless self promotion, promoting the Protein Powder and Food Journal, respectively.

As we told you before, Bob Harper became a big loser of cholesterol points when he went vegetarian and he tries to promote plant based diets on the show.

The protein powder is whey based, so that nixes it as an option for you vegan bodybuilders.

However, Sun Warrior Raw Vegan Protein Powder might be what Bob consumes should he decide to cut dairy and eggs from his diet.

The product description from veganessentials.com:

“At 85% pure protein, it is the first raw complete vegan, hypoallergenic superfood protein on the market. Not only does it taste superb, it blends exceptionally well and is very easy to digest. It digests so well that it has a 98% correlation rate to mother’s milk and a 98.2% digestion efficiency rating, making it one of the highest digestibility and efficiency ratings of any other protein source.”

Sun Warrior Protein Powder is available in chocolate and vanilla flavor.

The NBC4 Going Green report highlighted the best of 2009 DC Veg Fest.

Author Rory Freedman was present to sign copies of her book co-authored with Kim Barnouin, Skinny Bitch.

“Every single vegan I know started off saying, ‘I could never give up meat’ or ‘I could never give up cheese.’ We all started off saying that and now we’re the biggest proselytizers out there because it’s the best…food has never tasted so good.”

Watch the clip above to see Rory and highlights from the festival.

Jordin Sparks, who has said eventually she’d like to become vegetarian, is starring in a series of ads that will tick the vegans off.

Drink Milk For A Change features Jordin sporting a dairy mustache and holding a glass of cow juice.

The campaign was launched in Los Angeles yesterday and encourages people to upload photos of themselves wearing milk mustaches at bodybymilk.com.

For each upload, one dollar will be donated to the VH1 Save the Music Foundation, which puts money into funds to restore music programs at schools.

Not every veg is keen on dairy, even if they’re not vegan.

We suggest some passive protesting-upload your soy or almond milk mustache to help out the schools.

The dairy industry will never know the difference!

These days Canadian rock star Bryan Adams is a vegan who juices regularly and is into raw foods.

But years ago, when he lived in Vancouver, he would frequent a pizza place called Lombardo’s Pizzeria & Ristorante, where he would order what he called “the best pizza in the world.”

“Bryan Adams lives in London now, but he used to come all the time,” Patti Lombardo says. “He used to come Tuesday or Wednesday evening at about 10 p.m., when there were no crowds to bother him. He’s a vegetarian, so he would get a mushroom pizza. He’d sit there and go, ‘You know what? This is the best pizza in the world.’ ”

Lombardo’s is known for its wood-oven-fired pizza and features several pizzas, calzones, and pasta dishes that are vegetarian on the menu.

Alanis Morissette has been piling up on the nut butters, fresh produce, and whole grain good carb pastas lately as she’s preparing to run the Biz Johnson Trail Marathon to raise money for the National Eating Disorders Association.

Alanis decided to share this information to help others based on her own bad relationships with food.

If you recall, Alanis changed her eating and lifestyle about a year ago when she picked up a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat To Live, which outlines a vegan diet as the way to go.

“I don’t believe in diets; I think they’re short-term and a bit of an emotional roller-coaster,” Alanis had told Ok! magazine. “So I opened it and flipped through and thought the weight loss is incidental. The primary focus is disease prevention.”

Biz Johnson Marathon takes place on October 11.

Chipotle restaurant held a contest to see what band could come up with the best ad.

The winners, a Denton, TX band named Oso Closo, won and now are $10,000 richer with a burrito in their name soon to be available.

Although the band sings of “steak, peppers and onions, black beans, cheese, sour cream, guacamole, roasted chili-corn salsa, and tomato red-chili salsa,” band mate Chris McQueen says that’s not necessarily what you have to get and recognizes the vegetarians who might like Chipotle.

“No one in the band is vegetarian, but I am fond of the veggie burrito, so I’ve already considered that. I feel fairly confident that your average Chipotle burrito-ista could handle an ‘Oso Closo, no steak.'”

Rock on!

Watch the ad featuring Oso Closo above.
