Vegetarian Star

The name is Bacon. Fakin’ Bacon.

Daniel Craig, the actor who plays James Bond in the most recent Bond movie, Quantum of Solace, has a fetish for Miss Piggy. He’s so enamored with this porky lady, he had bacon sent from the UK to the site of the making of his new film in Italy.

He was adamant about he and his crew having traditional English breakfast and wanted to make sure everyone got their “bacon sarnies,” which consists of bread, a slice of pork, and ketchup.

When PETA UK found out about this, they felt his obession was a little overboard and sent him some fake bacon, along with reasons for why eating fake meat is a better alternative to eating pork, including the fact that real bacon can contribute to clogging of the arteries and impotence.

Knew it was going to happen sooner or later. Just when we are feeling love for the celebrity chefs, such as Rachael Ray and Cat Cora, one had to come along and ruin the warm and fuzzy feelings. Thanks Paula Deen.

The queen of southern cuisine went to Washington, D.C. and with the help of Smithfield Foods, donated 25,000 Lbs. of ham to the Capitol Area Food Bank. 25,000 Lbs. of meat! Yuuuuuuuuuck!

Deen said that when people think of her, they think of food. “So it’s only appropriate that when I come visiting, I bring food,” she said. “That’s what southerners do.”

Not to sound like stalkers or anything, but we look at what regions our fans are coming from (through stat counter and IP addresses) and we know we have plenty of southern folk out there who read our site. It is time for y’all to speak!

Don’t southerners like veg food too? Yes, we know fried chicken is thought to be the national bird for some folks who cook southern, but she could have at least thrown some brown rice, whole grain cereal, and whole wheat pasta in there.

This is a stark contrast to our darling Heather Mills’ donation of over a million dollars of soy meat to a food bank in the Bronx. And it brings up a good point that we’ve touched on before: Can those in poverty access healthy veg food like everyone else? If you can’t get healthy, meatless items at the food bank, what’s a financially struggling person to do?

Rachael Ray is really feeling some love from vegetarians and vegans lately.

First, we learned of how her brand new cookbook that she calls BOB, features an entire chapter of recipes devoted to meatless cooking.

Now, she’s featuring vegan musician Bryan Adams’ favorite juice recipe in the December ’08/January ’09 issue of Everyday With Rachael Ray.

Adams must stock up on a lot of pineapples, ginger, and peaches when he goes to the grocery store.

Best of all, the Pineapple-Ginger Juice recipe is completely sweetened by nature.

May we suggest drinking this to wash down your Thanksgiving Tofurky feast this year?

Remember Terri Nunn? Remember the 80’s group Berlin?

We have a diverse group of readers. Some of you might have rocked out with them. Some of your parents might have rocked out with them. Still, some of you may have been conceived to them.

Terri Nunn is the lead singer who sang the popular song, “Take My Breath Away,” (go ahead and have an 80s flashback and listen) on the Top Gun Soundtrack (which a very young pre-Oprah couch jumping Tom Cruise starred in).

She’s been a vegetarian since her late teens, turning to the lifestyle to cure what years of eating junk did that doctors couldn’t fix.

She has been named one of VH1’s Greatest Women in Rock and has been grouped with all the great female rockers like Joan Jett and Chrissie Hynde (who similarly don’t eat meat). Still taking everybody’s breath away after over two decades, she spoke with Las The Place not only about her CD coming out next year, but her feelings about how the government judges the quality of the meat that arrives at your supermarket.

“The main reason I don’t eat meat is because you find out in your studies that the factory farming of animals creates very sick animals. It’s so bad nowadays that the USDA no longer grades IF the animals are sick, it grades how sick they are. Isn’t THAT sick?…I’m thrilled about Proposition 2 passing here in California last week! That’s a healthy step forward, not just for the animals but for the people who eat them.”

“There are so many great soy products out there now, from hot dogs to meat substitutes. Even my kids like them!”

To learn about the fitness routine that keeps her looking like she did in the 80s, go to Las The Place to read the entire interview.

George W. Bush’s father, the first presidential Bush, hated broccoli. Barack Obama dislikes the tastes of beets. It appears the right and the left aren’t too different when it comes to having vegetable pet peeves.

Obama hates beets and makes it a policy to “always avoid eating them.”

Earlier on the campaign trail he shared a similar view with Erykah Badu, mentioning that Whole Foods was an expensive place to buy produce, arugula in particular.

Although good for you, there’s no doubt some vegetables taste so bad you don’t want to touch them with a 10 foot carrot pole. Which vegetables would you make it a policy to abolish from the White House if you were office?

Remember Sara Gilbert, who played the cynical teen Darlene in Roseanne? She’s all grown up now, with a partner, Allison Adler, and two kids. She also, like Ethan Suplee, has discovered the joy of tofu through Tobey Maguire.

This man really gets around.

And never forgetting to bring along his reusable eco bag while doing so. Maybe it serves as a doggy bag for leftovers?

Gilbert, Adler, and Maguire were all spotted doing lunch at, you guessed it, Hollywood’s headquarters for vegan food, Real Food Daily.

With so many celebs being brought in by Tobey makes you wonder if he has some sort of deal going on with the restaurant. All you can eat tempeh buffet for every 20 celebs?

“My Name Is Earl” actor Ethan Suplee enjoyed some time in the park with his two daughters, Billie Grace and Ethan (yes the girl’s name is just like his). Joining them was Tobey Maguire, and Tobey’s wife Jennifer Meyer and the Maguires’ child Ruby.

Looks like they had a lot of fun and definitely worked up an appetite because afterwards the group enjoyed some vegan food at Real Food Daily, one of L.A.’s stops for veg cuisine.

Haven’t heard any vegan news about Ethan. Maybe he was going along for the ride? Or has he discovered that tofu is great when you make it properly?

One of the pictures taken of them shows Tobey carrying an eco-friendly bag designed by Lauren Bush. Go check them out!
