Vegetarian Star

“When I am brushing my teeth, I’m bending my leg behind me, or I’m lifting my leg up and holding it in that position so I’m squeezing my butt in. I can do that while I’m washing or slicing vegetables, too. Or I go up and down on my toes, working my calves a little bit.”

—Christie Brinkley to Shape on her intense exercise regime. That’s quite some multi-tasking.

“I hope it gets people to think – that’s really the intent of the film. I’m really not a person that likes to tell people what to do, or say what they should and shouldn’t do, but I feel like they haven’t been presented with this information – many people are just unaware of it – and I think, after they see this, if they go home and go “hm…” and begin to think about their diets and consider consuming more plant foods, that would be something I’d really like to see people get out of this movie. I hope to see the diet change in this country. We’ve tried the animal-based diet and it really hasn’t worked out for us, so I’m hoping to see us trend toward a more plant-based diet because I think it’ll be better for people’s health and for the planet.”

“Visiting the Romanian bear sanctuary was truly an eye-opening experience. These bears have suffered horrible tragedies, but now have an amazing second chance at life in a safe and peaceful environment – all thanks to the WSPA and its supporters. I am honored to be a spokesperson for WSPA’s campaigns, and I encourage others to join in our fight to protect animals, worldwide.”

—Leona Lewis, on her trip to a Romanian bear sanctuary which houses bears rescued from neglectful and abusive situations like tourist attractions, roadside exhibits and zoos that fail to provide adequate care. Lewis visited a sanctuary owned and operated by World Society for the Protection of Animals (WSPA), which says it has rescued and placed 34 bears in the sanctuary to date.

“Earth Balance butter is amazing! It’s a staple. Daiya cheese is too. You just have to find the right products and mix them all together, but it’s totally yummy. I’ve made food for my husband [Channing Tatum] who’s non-vegan and he’s like, ‘That’s really good!’”

“For Thanksgiving we have to make a Tofurkey! It doesn’t sound right! It’s gonna be jiggly and weird. I’m from Texas – I’d fry a steak. We eat all casseroles and giblets!”

—Jessica Simpson, to Jimmy Fallon, according to People, on how soon to be husband Eric Johnson won’t be eating drumsticks this Thursday as he’s a vegan.

Tofurky.

FYI, Tofurky isn’t jiggly–it’s actually a firm loaf like any other prepared turkey, that comes stuffed with wild rice and bread crumbs and even vegan down to the gravy.

This Dish Is Veg has some tips for cooking the no-bird, which includes alternative methods to the ones on the box.

View the video of Jessica and Jimmy below.

“My thing is this – everything has to be able to be done with some kind of commitment and passion, and some reason that isn’t blown out of proportion and taken for granted.”

—Chuck D of Public Enemy during an interview with The Vine. Chuck eats a more sustainable diet by being a fish-eating vegetarian and he also is a human and animal rights activist.

If you follow the pescatarian diet, you should know, scientists have shown fish feel pain too. If you are still comfortable with your decision, please choose seafood wisely, eating only varieties that are not overfished and contain the least amount of unhealthy toxins like mercury.
