Vegetarian Star

Nothing like morning after regret.

After deciding to eat organic, Philadelphia Phillies slugger Ryan Howard, who was baseball’s Rookie of the year in 2005 and MVP in 2006, lost 20 pounds!

When he slips up and eats terrible, he admits it’s not worth it afterwards.

“When you’re on that regular cycle of eating well…you go off and you get a burger and fries or whatever, you feel terrible…You feel, “Why did I just do that?”

Of course, if Howard’s got a craving for a burger every now and then, might we suggest any numerous veggie burgers available? Meat-free, cruelty-free, and no buyer’s remorse.

And it would be so easy to do, considering the Philadelphia Phillies have one of the most veggie friendly ballparks.

It’s the perfect next step in being healthy, Ryan. And you could join the ranks of dozens of other professional athletes who keep pork off the fork.

Howard visited the White House garden recently when he revealed he’d been ogling organic for some time.

Mos Def’s got a new album, The Ecstatic, coming out tomorrow.

The hip hopper who’s real name is Dante Terrell Smith, sat down for some chit-chat with USAtoday.com and he brought along his son Fidel for the interview, where he enticed him with the thought of ordering hummus or guacamole.

Mos Def is a vegetarian, and from the sound of it, looks like he’s trying to bring Fidel up that way too.

Mos fantastic!

Mos Def likes to skateboard around his neighborhood, something he picked up from comedian Dave Chappelle.

“I love my decks,” he said. “It’s a great way to discover a neighborhood and keep fit. And it’s really Zen.”

It’s almost dinner time for some of you and we’re sorry if you’re reading this before logging off your computer and going home for the day, but still have an hour’s commute to get there.

Captain Paul Watson and his crew eat vegan during the show’s adventures, which consists of numerous tactics to prevent Japanese whalers from killing whales in the name of research.

The second season of Whale Wars premiers today at 9 PM E/P on Animal Planet, so there’s still time to make your own vegan mini-cheeseburgers before the show starts.

Alicia Silverstone is just one of the celebrities that have written to Nobu restaurants, saying they can no longer dine at the establishment because Nobu continues to serve endangered bluefin tuna.

Jemima Khan, Laura Bailey, Charlize Theron, Zac Goldsmith, Sting and Trudie Styler have all added their signatures to the letter.

“The possibility that the magnificent bluefin tuna, one of the fastest creatures on the planet, could be extinct in as little as four years is a tragedy. Continuing to serve bluefin leaves Nobu vulnerable to public criticism and lagging behind Moshi Moshi, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver, Itsu and numerous others,” they wrote.

If Gordon Ramsay has stopped serving it in his restaurants, you know Nobu’s got to be living in the dark ages in terms of ethical eating.

The celebrities are asking that bluefin tuna be removed completely from Nobu’s menu.

A spokesperson for Nobu made this statement:

“The consumption of this fish is a cultural institution in Japan and there is still an enormous demand for this delicacy at all our restaurants. In the specific case of the menus at our London restaurants it should be noted that the statement that informs diners that the tuna served is Bluefin was included at the behest of Greenpeace, with whom we have continual dialogue. We are also currently looking at Australian farm-raised tuna as an alternative.”

Replacing one endangered fish with another one that will, ultimately, become threatened if people continue to consume it. Sounds fishy.

How about getting the smell out completely and taking all fish off the menu?

Heather Mills recently Tweeted about her plans to come out with a vegan dog food brand.

Yay for Fido, Fluffy, and Max!

Heather didn’t give any specifics when she replied to one of her followers on Twitter, just that a brand was in the works.

A vegan restaurant opening next month, frozen food products to come, and veggie dog chow in the creative draft phase. Could Heather be on her way to having her own vegan empire?

Several veg celebrities have vegan dogs, including Alicia Silverstone, Paul McCartney, and Bollywood babe Shahid Kapoor. 

Alicia Silverstone claims her dogs pass less gas because of their vegan diet, which some pet owners believe is the only way to go. If they won’t let an animal suffer for their own food, why should it be any different for their canine friends?

Don’t you hate it when you’re a vegan and you’re forced to eat rat’s tail in an eating contest on some reality TV show? It’s a bummer!

Episode one of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here featured John Salley in an eating competition with Heidi Montag. The treat? Delicious rat tail. Salley swallowed ratatouille booty whole, while Heidi was ladylike and nibbled.

Could the menu on episode one, be the reason Heidi quit?

John Salley, the artist formerly known as vegan, had told several media sources he planned to eat raw and vegan while in the Costa Rica jungle. Rat tail’s raw alright, but definitely not vegan. Unless there’s some fake rodent meat substitute Whole Foods isn’t stocking at the moment.

Episode one and Salley is already breaking his veganness. What do you guys think about the situation? Did Salley naively think he could only eat vegan on the show?

Constance Marie (Angie Lopez on George Lopez) gave birth to baby Luna Marie 4 months ago and she’s looking as good as ever.

She revealed some of her post baby workout secrets to Celebrity Baby Blog along with the fact that she maintains a vegetarian diet, eating salads every evening.

The first reaction to this is yuck! Who wants to munch on overpriced arugula every night? Certainly not Barack Obama!

But vegetarian salads don’t have to be boring and remind you of pet grass.

Chickpeas, beans, and avocado make for lovely toss ins. Mock egg, tuna, or chicken salad imitate picnic favorites or hearty lunch bowls at work or home.

So it’s time to get our salad on! The Veggie Table has a list of every salad a vegetarian could combine with plant proteins and the produce section.

Give it up for deviled tofu, swiss chard with sesame seeds, and winter white bean to name a few.

Check out theveggietable.com for the rest.
