Vegetarian Star

Vegan singer and musician Jason Mraz has recently revealed on his blog what he consumes for the most important meal of the day.

“The secret to a great day is how you start your day. And for the past year and a half I’ve avoided eating a heavy traditional breakfast. Instead, I merrily jumpstart my day with the ever-so-awesome Vitamineral Green from Healthforce Nutritionals”

“One heaping scoop of this stuff in the morning provides an insane amount of goodness for the body. The powdered greens (from dehydrated plants and algae among other things) taken by itself is enough to live on. It goes straight to the blood and straight to the brain and stays with you all day. I stir mine every morning with ONE-Brand Coconut Water, but I prefer to blend it also with some Flax Oil, Freelife Goji Juice, Avocados, Maca Spice (the Peruvian Viagra) and a few dates. I even do Cayenne pepper on mornings that I want something savory. The flavor options are unlimited and there’s no way you can overdose on the stuff.”

“Think about it for a second, would you rather start your day with something fattening and/or sugary that ends up around your waist or deep in your ass, or would you rather feel light and energized with a glow that people can recognize? Remember, you are what you eat.”

Healtforce Nutritionals is a 100% gluten-free product company that is probably anointing Jason’s feet with oil now that they’ve gotten such a big plug.

So we gave you John Salley’s PSA from the Takepart.com series where celebrities discuss the food safety issues featured in Robert Kenner’s Food Inc.

Take Part 2.

Vegetarian Alyssa Milano also has a clip where she urges consumers to practice food safety measures and “feed their minds” by becoming educated on food borne illnesses.

Of course, it’s hard to “know your food,” when it comes from dozens of different sources, starting with the animal.

“One hamburger contains meat from 50-100 cattle,” says Alyssa.

Fifty to 100 cattle? Yeah, pretty hard to learn and remember all their names. Safer to just eat a veggie burger.

If Padma Lakshmi is the burger food porn queen, and Jessica Szohr’s burger whoredom gave her an orgasm, then Cassie Steele must partake in the occasional burger orgy every now and then.

Yes, minors, click over to Disney, because this post contains too much adult content you should never be exposed to.

Actress Cassie Steele has revealed she used to be a vegetarian and then, out of the blue, she just quit.

Now the Degrassi star has 10 burgers in one day and they’re not exactly veggie.

“If I try to diet for my work, it backfires and I’ll just rebel and have like 10 hamburgers in a day. I can out eat anybody. I used to be a vegetarian, and then one day I just quit. Everyday is pizza, and chicken wings. I try not to limit myself to what I eat. Just everything in moderation, obviously. I guess moderation would be the wrong word, because I really just eat everything.”

Yes, Cassie must be using the wrong words, because daily chicken wings is not exactly our idea of “moderation.”

What gives, darling?

Vegetarianism is not about dieting. We’d never want you to feel restricted because of it. Why not replace your chicken wings with Morningstar Veggie Buffalo Wings or make your own meatless version?

Acclaimed Hindu statesman Rajan Zed recently applauded Heather Mills for bringing vegetarianism to the media eye and opening her new vegan restaurant and cafe V Bites, saying more celebrities should do the same.

“More world celebrities should come forward to promote vegetarianism and persuade their fans to go vegetarian, thus contributing to a healthier world,” Zed said, in a statement to USA Today Nevada. Zed is the president of the Universal Society of Hinduism.

Zed pointed out that Hinduism promotes strict vegetarianism, and insists on ahimsa (not harming living creatures) and renouncing animal slaughter and meat eating. It also suggests taking of sattvik (vegetables, fruits) and avoiding rajasik (eggs) and tamasik (meat, intoxicants) foods.

Recently Barack Obama hosted chef Bobby Flay and several men from local D.C. schools at the Kick Off Young Men’s barbecue on the White House South Lawn.

This makes, what, strike three?

Ray’s Hell burger visit with vice president Joe Biden, the Cheeseburger incident at Five Guys, and now a barbecue on the White House lawn.

Grilled steak, corn, and chicken were on the menu, but no where on the White House blog did it mention a veggie burger.

Mr. Obama doesn’t appear to be practicing what he preached last year on the campaign trail when he said encouraging Americans to eat more plant based foods can clean up the healthcare mess by reducing rates of obesity related diseases like diabetes.

At least First Lady Michelle Obama is promoting eating more vegetables.

Natalie Portman will be making a special guest appearance on Bravo’s Top Chef in the upcoming season six, which premiers Wednesday, August 26th at 9 p.m. ET/PT.

Since Nat is a hard core vegan, the cheftestants will probably be given the challenge of whipping up something meatless, eggless, and dairyless for the actress.

Top Chef had a vegan experience last year, when the Food Fighters were invited during the Thanksgiving episode and requested the chefs cater for their crew of 60 people, some of which were vegetarian.

The vegan cornbread stole the show last year. Will another veg dish be a big hit?

Crossing our fingers none of the cheftestants “chicken” out like last year’s Carla and go with a meaty dish when they really wanted to make a vegetarian one.

X Factor judge Cheryl Cole was called “brunette Barbie” by Melanie Rickey, fashion editor-at-large of Grazia magazine, because of her beautiful face and doll-like proportions.

The UK Mail on Sunday recently profiled Cheryl’s style from fashion to diet, which is mostly vegetarian, and includes  miso soup and other Japanese dishes because they’re low in fat and dairy.

Bad news for seals everywhere.

In May, Canada’s governor general Michaelle Jean was taped by the media eating a raw seal heart she personally killed.

This, in combination with the recent European Union ban on imports of Canadian seal products has contributed to an increase in the request for seal meat at restaurants in Canada.

From the New York Times:

“The episode, which prompted extensive news media coverage in Canada, also cast a spotlight on seal-serving chefs like Mr. Lenglet. With the attention has come an increase in orders for Mr. Lenglet’s seal dishes, but also death threats, in the form of e-mail messages from Europe, where seal hunting protests have been most intense.”

Yikes!

Mr. Lenglet is the owner of Canadian restaurant Au Cinquième Péché in Montreal.
