Vegetarian Star

Ruben Studdard is scheduled to perform at the Real Men Can Cook event in Atlanta, Georgia at the Georgia Railroad Department for Father’s Day. The event will feature live performances and food prepared by various chefs and is meant to encourage African-American men to get in the kitchen while raising money for several charities: Communities in Schools of Georgia and Atlanta, The Ruben Studdard Foundation, Choices for Kids and Real Men Charities, Inc.

Studdard, who lost 100 pounds going a vegan diet, ranks among the men who can cook and he recently shared his formula for a vegan red velvet cake during a phone call with the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

Jack Johnson "To The Sea"

Jack Johnson‘s latest release, To The Sea, is part of a package, literally, of environmental activities to accompany his tour for the album.

To The Sea is printed on 100% post-consumer-waste recycled paper and carries the 1% For The Planet logo, which means Johnson has pledged to give 1% of net sales to causes that preserve and restore the Earth.

The veggie Hawaiian laulua lover who says although he keeps his home meat-free, he’ll eat anything someone feeds him outside, is ensuring his crew eats using ingredients from local, organic farmers whenever possible. He has also partnered with Johnson’s All At Once Community, which aims to educate fans on eating local.

Guster’s Adam Gardner is the face of the Green Music Group’s latest challenge to eat local, and while he’s one of the leading forces behind this campaign, he has his wife to thank for greening another area of his diet.

“It was really my wife’s environmentalism that rubbed off on me!” Gardner told Good. “Once we started living together, suddenly I was eating vegetarian, composting, walking everywhere, running the laundry machine in off-peak hours. It was the dichotomy between how I was living at home and what life on the road was like with my band (gas–guzzling tour bus, trash all over the place at the end of a show, awful fast food, etc.) that sparked the idea for Reverb in the first place.”

Green Music Group is a group of musicians, industry leaders and fans dedicated to spreading the environmental news throughout the industry.

Every two weeks on their website, Green Music Group, will present a challenge to fans and from now until June 18, Guster is challenging their fans to eat local at least once a day.

Lead singer and founding member of Green Music Group, Adam Gardner, speaks in the video.

“I feel personally connected to this challenge because I just recently joined a community supported agricultural program. And it was just amazing how much better the food tasted. The fact that I knew who was growing it, I met the farmer and knew that I was supporting that local farmer and that local economy just felt good to do.”

Gardner’s got a point about the taste. Compare fresh, local, crisp green beans to those brought halfway across the country or frozen or in a can.

No competition!

Once you try eating local, we promise, as Guster would say, “Fa Fa-Fa Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa-Fa,” it will “never be the same again.”

Top Chef contestant Andrea Curto-Randazzo says the celebrity she had the most fun cooking for was Mike D. of the Beastie Boys.

“I was pretty excited to cook for the Beastie Boys. While I was at Wish there were quite a few celebrities that came in. They were really cool. During the MTV Awards their manager called up and was asking about all these vegetarian things because Mike D was a vegetarian.”

Fellow band member Adam Yauch adopted a vegan diet after undergoing treatment for cancer.

And a restaurant in San Francisco, Weird Fish, thinks the Beastie Boys are so much fun, they’ve redone a traditional seafood dish into a vegan one.

Ozzy Osbourne has a disgusting history with animals (biting off doves’ and bats’ heads, throwing meat at the crowd) during his performance history, but thanks to a little movie called Food Inc., these days he’s more into biting the heads of lettuce. Not that he’s doing this for animal rights reasons, which you’ll learn.

The Prince of Darkness told the Times Online he’s mostly vegetarian, and thinks the way meat is raised today is enough to turn people away from eating it.

“It’s my new phase: brown rice and vegetables. I don’t even drink milk, apart from a splash in my tea. It ain’t because of the animals. I mean, I used to work in a slaughterhouse. You won’t see me marching over the frozen tundra, hunting down people who club seals. I just can’t digest meat any more. ”
