Vegetarian Star

Moby has been a vegan for 20 years, but is bashful about proclaiming himself as a great vegan chef.

He told the Milwaukee Wisconsin Sentinel Journal, “I’m a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.”

Sounds like vegan men aren’t any different from meat eaters after all when it comes to the kitchen.

Could it be the only decent meal Moby can make is his vegan blueberry pancakes?

Thankfully, if you’re not a great cook either, there are dozens of ready made vegetarian and vegan meals that require the simple skill of manipulating the microwave buttons.

A visit to the frozen aisle of the grocery store can stock your freezer with simple vegetarian meals like burritos or old fashioned macaroni and cheese to ethnic dishes containing samosas and dahl to fake meat and potatoes.

Those ramen noodles you used to make with chicken during the after school hours?

They now come flavored with miso.

Of course, when you’re ready to become Julia Child (who at one point couldn’t understand why anyone would want to be vegetarian) these lists for the top 10 vegetarian and top 10 vegan cookbooks will help get you started.

Justin Timberlake brought sexy back to food when he grabbed a bite to eat with a friend at vegan restaurant Real Food Daily.

Justin’s no newbie to enjoying vegetarian food.

Months ago, he and Jessica Biel shared a vegan strawberry rhubarb pie and ate lunch at Vancouver’s famous veggie restaurant, The Naam.

Is JT expanding his palate to include seitan several times a week instead of steak?

Or is going veggie all the way?

“When you are eating out, very often the only vegetarian choices are pasta and salad. It’s no wonder some people think vegetarian food is a bit bland. I’ve been fortunate enough to travel all over the world and I know that there is exciting vegetarian food in every culture. If more people are going to really embrace the idea of regularly choosing vegetarian options, the food on offer has to reflect this variety.”

—-Paul McCartney, who’s gracing the cover of Stir It Up, a UK based catering magazine.

Inside, Paul discusses his Meat-Free  Monday campaign and shares a few recipes.

Morrissey isn’t into the artworks of Damien Hirst, and he let Interview Magazine know it.

Hirst is famous for using dead animals preserved in formaldehyde for his…masterpieces.

Yeah, it all sounds so breathtaking.

Morrissey had nothing but good things to say about Hirst, including the fact that Hirst should have his head “kept in a bag” for the way he uses dead animals.

According to Contact Music, Morrissey said, “I dislike the ‘use’ of animals in art, such as in the work of Damien Hirst… Dead butterflies, cows, horses, humans, sheep and sharks – it reads like the inventory of a funerary Noah. How many halved calves suspended in formaldehyde does the world need? To my way of thinking, none.”

Hirst should leave the preserving to Smuckers, right?

Paul McCartney is voicing his support for a fur ban in Israel.

A bill proposed by the animal rights group Let The Animals Live, is asking Israel to be the first country to ban the sale, import and export of any kind of fur.

“I, along with members of my family, have been long-standing opponents of the commercial fur trade,” Paul said. “The reason for this is simple — fur is cruel and unnecessary . . . To skin an animal alive — as many are — for a product nobody needs is beyond comprehension.”

“By banning such a cruel industry, Israel would provide a shining example in care and compassion that others would be sure to follow,” he added.

PETA took a poll with the International Anti-Fur Coalition and found that almost 80% of Israelis disagreed with wearing fur for fashion.

However, Heeb magazine has offered its satirical take on this.

The website features pictures of Jewish men wearing fur hats with captions such as “Nothing is more comfortable than wearing my fur hat in Jerusalem. In summer” and “An animal may have died, but my giant head feels super holy as well as “This thick layer of animal hair protects the deep Talmudic thoughts in my brain.”

Heeb questions whether Hasidic Jews are ready to give up their fur hats.

As long as there is faux…it can happen!
