“A lot of the reason is the attitude that if you slip up, there is no use trying it anymore. Imagine applying that to anything else: truth telling or being kind to strangers. If every time we slipped up, we said, “I’m done trying,” then what would we be left with?”

–author Jonathan Safran Foer, when asked why people become ex-vegetarians.

Do you agree with his answer?

“How many people have hybrids in this town, how many people recycle? Being vegetarian is so much more eco-conscious. And it’s lovely to know that when you are eating it’s ethical and nothing had to die. I’d have a veggie burger even when I was eating meat.”

—Owain Yeoman, star on The Mentalist, at Peta’s 30th anniversary gala. Although he said a raw food experiment “didn’t sit well,” with him, Yeoman’s been a vegetarian for 2 years and a vegan for 6 month, making him super green and eco-conscious.

“The race fans forgive me for being an environmentalist because I have a race car. That’s why they’re listening to me; I have a race car underneath me. If I was just a biology graduate, trying to ask them to do these things, I don’t think any of them would hear me.”

—Leilani Munter, to the Department of Energy, on how she is able to connect with NASCAR fans on environmental issues and not turn them off by stereotypes of environmentalists and vegetarians.

In the ARCA race on September 30th, Munter will drive a car sponsored by Operation Free, a group of military veterans who advocate energy independence and action on climate change.

“I’ve always loved animals. When I was growing up, we had pets, and I was taught early on that you have to respect animals. All of the animals I have ever known, especially dogs, either like someone or they don’t. They can run up to some people and lick them, yet with others they just walk off because they are nervous. I always think that kind of thing probably says a lot. I honestly believe they have a sense about people and what they are like. But their charm is also their trust; when you have a pet, they have to trust you to take care of them. And that’s why I get so angry when you see animals hurt by [guardians] whom they trust.”

“It’s kind of shocking to think that the FDA would allow over 1,500 cancer-causing carcinogens in our beauty and body care products. So I stay with a ‘keep it simple’ rule of thumb. I use a pure cacao (raw chocolate) oil on my body and hair, and [a] olive-oil-based salve on my face. Vegan biodegradable soap by Dr. Bronner.”

—Darryl Hannah,on putting products that are just as healthy on her body and she puts in. The Environmental Working Group’s Cosmetics Database allows you to search for products by brand or type and take a closer look at the ingredients. Warnings on some potentially problematic ingredients (like irritants, carcinogens) are given, as well as background information and scientific literature supporting the risks.

“It would be great for me to end up at your restaurant and not be served portobello mushrooms with penne pasta.”

—Tal Ronnen, encouraging chefs to get creative with plant based dishes. For some vegetarian patrons, portobello mushrooms and penne pasta is much more creative than the standard “house salad” or veggie burger that you can buy frozen in the grocery store option.

“By the way, that’s not an ad for McDonald’s in case you missed that. The hamburger in a dead man’s hand. Yes, hamburgers kill. I just thought the Hamburglar stole stuff. He steals your life.”

—Glenn Beck, during a recent segment of his talk show on the new ad created by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine that’s airing in the Washington, D.C. area linking McDonald’s to heart disease. Not that Beck is championing the ad, of course. He later goes on to sarcastically suggest that people will automatically start running to carrots and suggests that although the ad is a “nudge” to encourage people to eat healthier, future initiatives could include punishment and jail time.
