Vegetarian Star

Paul McCartney is in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a concert tonight and the thecoast.ca has listed some suggested places the vegetarian can grab a bite to eat before his show.

We already know Paul won’t be patronizing the donair establishments, but he might find these restaurants can buy his love.

Heartwood
These guys have several dishes named after Paul, like the “Macca-roni.” Plus, there’s the Lonely Hearts Club Sandwich with smoked tofu and soy mayonnaise. Somebody who created that menu is a fan.

The Wooden Monkey
Made with fresh organic and macrobiotic ingredients, The Wooden Monkey is a good place for mixed eaters-offering dozens of vegetarian options like the veggie burger, Japanese dumplings with tofu, and chickpea salad in addition to the meat selections.

Read the entire list of places Paul can eat at, including where he can get a vegan breakfast tomorrow morning.

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.

Omar Rodriguez-Lopez of The Mars Volta used to be a hard core partyer like the rest of his bandmates.

Then, when one ex member, Jeremy Ward, died of an overdose of drugs in 2003, Omar and the rest of Mars Volta were scared into straight edge vegans who won’t even drink coffee.

Now, you don’t have to be a coffee abstainer to be a vegan or a vegetarian. You can still have your beer.

But could the vegetarian and vegan community benefit its  members from promoting a substance free lifestyle that uses even legal substances sparingly?

The late River Phoenix was known as a hippie, easy go lucky vegan. But behind his clean diet was a drug habit that led to his death.

There is speculation that the late King of Pop Michael Jackson allegedly had problems with narcotics and prescription drugs, and that may have contributed to his death.

Vegans may be stereotyped as pot smoking people, but is it time for that to change? Should the abstinence of drugs and alcohol and the avoidance of heavy medications even if they are legal be pushed as much as not buying leather?

You will probably never attend a memorial service where the guests dress like this.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals made an appearance at Michael Jackson’s memorial service and took the opportunity to promote vegetarianism with a sign that read, “Go Vegetarian For The Man In The Mirror.”

The pop star was vegetarian, and the group is currently trying to get permission to use a song he sang for a movie, “Ben,” to educate people on the conditions of rodents in research laboratories.

“Ben” features Michael singing about a boy’s love for his pet rat.

Paul McCartney had just finished up a chat with radio host Bobby Mac of Q104 in Halifax, Nova Scotia when Bobby recommended Paul check out some of the local food, including the donairs.

Donairs? Huh?

Donairs are delicacies prevalent on the Canadian East Coast. Donairs are to Halifax what Philly Cheesesteak is to Philadelphia.

There’s just one problem. Donairs are full of spicy beef.

“It’s got a lot of meat? Well, I’m not going to eat it then,” Paul said. “Save me a doNUT.”

Of course every optimistic vegetarian and vegan always tries their hand at plantifying any carnivorous dish and donairs shouldn’t be the exception.

Here’s a recipe for vegan donairs using Texturized Vegetable Protein.

Cause donuts really aren’t good substitutes for meals, you know?

Fred Mascherino, ex Taking Back Sunday guitarist and singer who went on to form the band The Color Fred, is so green he’s “phat” off oil!

Vegan Fred has a car that runs on vegetable oil he gets from a Chinese restaurant. Luckily, they don’t fry in lard, otherwise raising the animal who’s fat will eventually run the car kinda cancels out any eco-friendliness.

Using our own fat? Well, that might reduce at least somebody’s footprint-literally.

“Being vegan is about the best thing a person can do to be “green,” Fred said. “Using less, buying less and eating less is the idea but even just eating a little less meat makes a difference.”

The next obvious question is how Fred pays for his oil. It would be COOL to walk into China Express and say, “I’ll take what I ate this week in fuel.”

Some sources even recommend, “Develop a relationship with the manager or owner of local establishments. Tell him or her that you’re interested in collecting their waste vegetable oil. Offer to do it for free.”

We smell and taste an All You Can Eat Oil Club program forming at businesses soon.

Here Comes The Sun to help hundreds of farm animals.

Jim James, vocalist and guitarist for the band My Morning Jacket, has announced he’s donating a portion of the proceeds from his upcoming George Harrison tribute album to Woodstock Farm Sanctuary.

“I know this is something that George [Harrison] really believed in,” James was quoted as saying. “George was all about treating all creatures equally and eating responsibly.”

James and his hero have more than music in common, as he is a vegetarian like Harrison was.

James is using another name for the record, “Yim Yames,” instead of his real name.

The tribute album comes out later this month, but for now, you can still listen to a sample on Mr. Yim Yames website.
