“That they’re boring and only really meant to be an accompaniment to the protein on the plate. And it has to be healthy – which isn’t a bad thing, but healthy usually connotes bland, and that’s certainly not how we think of vegetables or vegetarian food.”

—Amanda Cohen, owner and chef of NYC’s all-vegetable restaurant Dirt Candy.

The latest adventure in Cohen’s anything but boring culinary feats include making making pastrami from parsnip.

The Bachelor Sean Lowe snagged himself a great little vegan gal on season 17 of the reality dating TV series.

Catherine Giudici is a 26-year old graphic designer at Amazon.com by day and a vegan food blogger by night.

Lowe chose Giudici over a group of other (probably not vegan and not nearly as cool) women.

According to Wetpaint, Giudici took the vegan plunge after a trip to Kenya.

Meredith Vieira and several other celebrities’ New Year’s resolutions are posted at Vegan Resolutions.

Vieira would like to give up dairy–at least in her morning cup of joe.

“I vow to use almond milk instead of milk in my coffee,” the journalist and NBC correspondent said.

That’s quite an upgrade from her old breakfasts of “cigarettes and cola,” as she explained on Today.

“When I was a smoker, I started every day with a Tab and a cigarette,” Vieira said.

2012 saw a lot of awesome vegetarians, vegans and plant-loving people make headlines.

Here are a few of Vegetarian Star’s favorite.

#5. Vegetarian Olympics.
The 2012 London games made America proud with plant-based eaters like Mary Whipple and Dotsie Bausch who shared their medal-winning veggie meals with the media. And UK based Fry’s fed fans and athletes with their delicious meatless items like vegetarian mince meat. Go team VEG!

#4. Vegetarian journalist Candy Crowley moderates presidential debate.
The first female to do so in 20 years. Maybe the first vegetarian ever.

#3. Hell’s Kitchen competitor opens vegetarian sushi restaurant.
Reality TV isn’t always nice to vegetarians, but reality business may be as Guy Vaknin‘s Beyond Sushi shows what you can do with a roll of seaweed beyond Flipper.

2012 had some great moments for vegetarians and vegans.

And some not so great ones.

Here are Vegetarian Star‘s top Not So Vegetarian stories of celebrities and people in the news that have turned heads, offended and or just looked a little ridiculous.

#5. Mayor Bloomberg Washes Down Wieners Without Soda.
NYC’s mayor attended a competitive overeating contest (also known as hot dog eating contest) where the winners consumed dozens of processed, chemical filled animal wieners. He also ate one himself. Thank goodness he found time to attend this in the midst of his campaign to limit soda consumption to curb obesity. Because soda is the only real evil in making people fat. Not 60 hot dogs.

#4 Conan Whips Out His Wiener.
Not exactly indecent exposure, but the World’s Largest Chicago-Style hot dog does expose one to an increased risk of diabetes and cancer.
