Vegetarian Star

“I just don’t understand those meat eaters. How can they justify eating those beautiful animals? And how can they justify the fact that half the world is starving when there is enough food for everybody? We’re feeding grain to cows while people die of hunger. How can people not see that is wrong?”

—-Chrissie Hynde, in a recent interview with the Liverpool Daily Post. Chrissie likes to stay in the business of what she can get, and that’s owning her own vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

“Go vegan! Or at least eat less meat and dairy. For some reason, the eco movement has been slow and a bit wary to talk about this. But it is pretty much the best thing you could do for the environment.”

—-Bones’ actress Emily Deschanel to ecostiletto.com, when asked what her favorite eco friendly tip was that readers should know about.

According to the creators of Meat the Truth, livestock greenhouse gases account for more emissions than those made by every car, train, boat, and plane we get around in.

Ah, yes. Al Gore it’s time to do your thing. Let’s not let the most inconvenient truth of all get in the way of going totally green.

“It is hard sometimes because some have such great personalities, but you get used to it. It becomes a mind-set where we known these two are staying, these two are going. I also know I’m doing a good thing, because if I kept them, pretty soon I’d have no room to foster anymore. So, I’m saving a lot of lives by sending them along.”

—Vegan Cartoonist Dan Piraro, in an interview with Vegetarian Times for the July/August issue. Dan and his wife, Ashley Lou, bring a zoo of animals into their homes to care for until homes are found. Check out his comics at bizarro.com.

“For me, it’s more of a personal thing. I don’t judge any musician or nonmusician for living the sort of lifestyle that they do. I think it all comes down to conscience and making the decision for you and your life. Everyone’s at a different point of realization.”

“The first few tours I did, I was talking about [green issues] on stage. Then I just figured I probably shouldn’t talk about it every tour, so now I guess I’m just talking about it in interviews. It’s something I’ve been doing for quite a while now, so it doesn’t feel like news.”

—Singer, musician and songwriter Missy Higgins, in an interview with Mother Nature Network, on whether or not she considers herself an “elite” greenie.

Missy could count herself as being in the upper echelon of green musicians. Her biggest green move is being vegan. She also donated profits from her song, “Steer,” to the Sierra Club’s Two Percent Project, makes her tours carbon neutral, and performed at Live Earth Australia last year.

“If I point my finger at someone, saying, “You should be a vegetarian,” they’re just going to get annoyed…There is definitely a risk [of] alienating people. Maybe one day a week, consider what you are doing. We’re saying, do this for your personal health and in the process you help animals and you help the environment.”

—-musician Moby, at the Meat Free Monday campaign launch. Celebrity attendees included Paul McCartney and his daughters Stella and Mary, Yoko Ono, and Kelly Osbourne.

“For most of my life I’ve had a thing for the artichoke, because it was such an exciting vegetable. You could do so much with it. I first saw it on television, on “The Little Rascals.” I had my own artichoke plate, with a place for the heart to sit. To this day I still go crazy for them. But I also eat broccoli every day, it’s like taking a vitamin. And I like leafy green vegetables. But artichokes and I go way back.”

—-Model Christie Brinkley, at a fund-raising luncheon for the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York. Brinkley became vegetarian at 13 and convinced the whole family to follow her lead. She recently starred in a Got Milk? ad.

“You know, a lot of people say: ‘What are you? An environmentalist? A humanitarian? We’re confused.’ They want to put you in a little box. They don’t understand unless you pick one thing and that’s your thing — unless you say: ‘I’m fighting for all shoes to be vegan shoes.’ I just can’t work that way — it’s all interconnected to me, and what I’d like to do is help people understand that interconnection — that if you buy a T-shirt from a chainstore, it may have been made with sweatshop labour, it may have been made by little kids, it definitely took more than nine years of drinking water to make that T-shirt, and it probably was processed with a whole bunch of chemicals as well. That’s sort of what my challenge is — to help people understand that everything you do, or everything you don’t do, has an effect.”

—-Actress Daryl Hannah, in an interview with independent.ie, on what she says when people ask if she has a focus.

It’s hard for an environmentalist to eat steak and chicken every day and not look like a hypocrite. Ditto for vegetarians who don’t buy leather-free shoes. And whether you buy the locally grown produce that took less fuel to get to the dinner table or make the choice to walk those few blocks instead of revving up the car-everything has an effect.
