Vegetarian Star

Barbara Walters may soon be added to the list of favorite vegetarian TV hosts.

Green gossip website Ecorazzi.com received a tip from a fan who stated Walters announced she was seriously thinking about going vegetarian. Walters was prompted by a story about a cow named Molly who escaped a New York slaughterhouse.

“This morning on the View Barbara Walters brought up the topic of the Cow Molly that had escaped a slaughterhouse in NY yesterday. She said that was the reason she is more and more leaning towards vegetarianism. She also stated that she is scheduled to go to a White House dinner and she plans on bringing her own veggie burgers.”

Way to go, Barb! We seriously hope she follows through with this decision and sticks with it. 

On an even happier note, the escaped cow was not sent back to slaughter, but instead transferred to an animal sanctuary in Suffolk county.

Maybe Barbara will pay her inspiration a visit and share some greens for lunch one day!

If Oprah Winfrey had a Pinocchio nose, it would stretch taller than the height of her condo’s building.

Awhile back, Miss O. did a documentary on chicken factory farm abuse.

Maybe she gave all the chickens prizes like she does to her audience members and now they don’t mind being boiled. She has no problem making the abused chickens martyrs as she’s announced she’s giving every family in America a free 2-piece Kentucky Grilled Chicken Meal.

How could she? After all, it was her involvement with so many animal rights issues that won her the love of PETA and it’s Person of the Year title she enjoyed scooting Obama out of the spotlight to share.

Could it be that Oprah is just trying to do something to feed hungry, credit crunched America and has completely forgotten PETA’s ongoing beef with KFC due to its treatment of chickens?

Whatever her reasons, she could have done much better. Coupons for Subway would have at least given people the option of  a much healthier and less cruel Veggie Max Patty or Veggie Delight Sandwich.

What other ways could O have treated America and chickens right?

Nothing better than two hot ladies duking it out in the ring.

Before you start to think this is a really sexist blog (especially if you’ve read that post on the vegetarian Playmate of the Year, Ida Ljungqvist), let us explain.

Alicia Silverstone and nutritionist Rachel Beller recently gave their input on the health effects of eliminating meat and dairy from your diet.

Here are a few replays:

Alicia Silverstone:
The excess animal protein in meat and dairy is so acidic that it causes the body to release calcium to buffer the acidity. Osteoporosis is very rare in countries that eat little or no dairy. Meat and dairy contain no phytonutrients, no complex carbs (which are very important). Basically meat and dairy are saturated fat and protein.

Rachel Beller:
The bottom line is that Alicia is NOT wrong, but the statement is polarizing. It sounds like all meat and dairy should be avoided; however, like so many things in life, it’s never this simple. A high protein diet that particularly emphasizes an intake of animal sources of meat and dairy does cause an acidic environment in the body, which subsequently must be neutralized by the body’s calcium. The prevailing idea is that calcium is absorbed from the bones to balance the acidic environment, thus leading to bone loss. Numerous studies have supported this theory for years. This is the basis of a long-standing claim that we (the American people) should increase our intake of vegetable sources of protein and decrease our animal sources of protein.

We’ve heard Alicia’s and Rachel’s input, now it’s time to hear yours.

As a child, what snack did you love so much, you were willing to forgo an entire month of Saturday morning Smurfs?

Erykah Badu’s daughter, Puma, doesn’t seem to be that picky about her favorite munchie. As long as it’s vegan.

Erykah recently made a CelebrityTweet:

“puma keeps asking for vegan snack after snack …i oughta do like my mama and tell her , “.. gone . gone and eat em all then they’ll be gone.”

With all the unhealthy snacks kids ask for these days (chips, soda, cookies, oh my), Erykah should at least be thankful little Puma knows what good!

Of course, having a mom who grows her own herbs and is so big on holistic health doesn’t hurt.

Does your child have a favorite vegan snack you wouldn’t dare leave off the grocery list? Are you a big kid who has serious problems parting with your vegan comfort food?

Learn about what else Puma is begging for at Erykah’s celebrity Tweet at celebritytweet.com/fatbellybella/.

OMG! Like, Bernadette Peters is taking over our job.

We like to wish our veggie celebrities Happy Birthday when it’s their time, and it looks like Bernadette Peters is ahead of the game.

The actress gave actor Matthew Modine some vegan birthday cake at the premier of Passing Strange.

Hope Matty enjoyed his cake. The next most obvious question is…is Matthew a vegan? Or does he just like his cake anywhere he can get it? Maybe he couldn’t turn down goodies from the lovely Bernadette.

Chime in and let us know if you know the 411 on Modine’s veg status.

Phish’s bass player and vocalist Mike Gordon Tweeted about his love of vegan carrot kugel.

Kugels are awesome traditional baked Jewish dishes that feature vegetables, fruit or other starches, and a thickening agent.

In an effort to get closer to the immortal status of rock stars, we decided to search for a recipe for vegan kugel, that, upon ingestion, would make us famed musicians and send millions of fan mail and driveling women to our doorstep.

We found a Vegan Potato and Carrot Kugel recipe that we’ll have to try in the near future.

If any of you have a different formula for vegan carrot kugel, please drop a comment and let everyone know where to find it.

The guys at hypebeast.com got to meet up with skateboarder Danny Garcia and decided to go out for some grub at an eating establishment called Shake ‘Em Buns (which was obviously created by someone with too much innuendo on the mind).

Shake ‘Em Buns, located in Hong Kong, has some pretty X-rated sounding burgers including Debbie Does Dallas, Cushin’ For Pushin’, Gang Bang…okay we’ll stop before Google Safe Search blocks us.

Danny, a vegetarian, chose the “Sissy Boy,” which is what Shake ‘Em Buns calls their vegetarian burger.

Sissy Boy? Really, Shake ‘Em Buns, you can do better than that.

Danny’s choice of a meatless patty puts no cholesterol in his system and less saturated fat than a regular burger, therefore lessening his changes of developing diabetes and other diseases that can contribute to impotence.

He’ll be the only “sissy” who can actually do Debbie Dallas if he wants.

Actress Nia Vardalos, best known for hitting it big playing Toula Portokalos in My Big Fat Greek Wedding, was a vegetarian for over a decade before “her family wore her down.”

Now it appears as if she’s returning to her veggie roots and has even told cheese she’s not going to a late night booty call with it anymore.

She recently told People about her secret to losing 40 pounds.

“I broke up with cheese. I always say like cheese keeps calling me and trying to get me to meet at a cheap motel but I’m really committed to just staying single for awhile.”

Although she said she did 50 different things to help her shed some of herself, giving up cheese was the big factor.

You go girl. And don’t go back to it. Cheese never loved and cared about you anyway.
