Vegetarian Star

“Despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary, I think we can all agree that unspeakable suffering has occurred at the hands (flippers) of these sinister white snow devils. Most recently – in fact just now – they’ve been coined, ‘the white-fanged dispensers of death.’ Little is known of their feeding habits, although it’s widely speculated among seal clubbing spokespeople that human toddler brains are the preferred source of nutrition. And cod. As a counter measure, once a year Canadian hunters will selflessly enter an arena of unbridled peril. Broader dangers of the seal hunt include: accidentally clubbing one’s own shin, chapped lips, having to get up early, thirstiness, and the all too common: red snowball fight.”

—-Canadian actor Ryan Reynolds, in a sarcastic piece he wrote in the Huffington Post on the Canadian Seal Hunt. Kudos to Ryan for shedding light on this situation. Although there’s nothing humorous about the seal hunt, at least Ryan’s post will spark attention and hopefully, incite others to take action.

“I’m basically vegan and don’t eat any of the food that was around. So as it got to the sixth or seventh leg, I was just running on fumes.”
—-Amazing Race contestant Mike White, in an interview with IntouchWeekly.com on the most difficult part of competing in the Amazing Race with partner and dad Mel White.

Mel said that one day there were only cheese sandwiches for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, so Mike didn’t eat all day. Talk about commitment!

“Eat Green. Because food production causes the most damage to the planet. So eat as many plant based foods as possible. Ease away from the meat and dairy. Move towards the whole grains and vegetables and beans and tempeh and all the yummy things out there. I have a book coming out in October called The Kind Diet. It will show you how to eat the most delicious food on the planet but also [keeping it] green. Every little bit makes a difference so the more vegetarian meals you have the better.”

—-Actress and activist Alicia Silverstone, in a behind the scenes photo shoot for 944 magazine.

“For me it’s about their [the animals] health. If I get any (nutritional) benefits from not killing them, I guess that’s a bonus.”
—-Pretenders’ singer Chrissie Hynde, in an interview, on the health benefits of being a vegan. Chrissie’s reason sounds a lot like the late Isaac Bashevis Singer, who said he went vegetarian for the health of the chickens.

What health benefits did you receive as a bonus for going vegetarian or vegan?

“I was brought up that way, so it kind of came very naturally to me. I was brought up on an organic farm in the countryside and the whole family was vegetarian. So it sort of came without thinking. But then when it came to my having a career, starting a job and starting a brand in fashion, I guess it wouldn’t have sat comfortably with me to be hypocritical. I guess that was the starting point. The seeds were already sown in my personal life, and then they came into my business life.”
—-Designer and daughter of Paul McCartney, Stella McCartney, on what led to her starting an ethical fashion line. Stella refuses to use fur or leather and became quite angry when a company once put a fur coat on a model wearing a piece from her lingerie set.

“It’s funny when you get diagnosed with cancer and you’re a raw food vegan — for 10 years! You think they’re lying to you, or they got your chart mixed up. You’re like, ‘Get out of here!’ You’re not shocked. It’s not like you’re devastated. You don’t buckle. I didn’t. I know people who did. I was just really surprised. I thought someone was playing a bit of a practical joke on me because I’m a joker.”

—-Juno Award winning, Canadian singer-songwriter Bif Naked, who has been undergoing treatment for an aggressive form of breast cancer. But don’t let that fool you into thinking she’s been bedridden. Her 6th studio album, The Promise, is set to be released in May.

“It wasn’t that hard to become vegan for me. The only thing that was a little confusing was recognising animal ingredients that I never knew about before, such as gelatin or casein [milk protein]. Once you get familiar with that it’s simple. No dairy, eggs and those sneaky ingredients were the only differences between vegetarian and vegan.”

—-musician John Feldmann, singer and guitarist for the band, Goldfinger, during an interview.

Ingredients can be a pain in the butt sometimes. We all know that chicken broth doesn’t make rice vegetarian and egg whites don’t make bread vegan, but L-cysteine in your pita pocket? Monoglycerides? Don’t even get us started on sugar-who would’ve thought it gets white via processing with animal bone ash-yuck!

Luckily, there’s a list to help us sort through all that. Bring a copy of it with you at your next grocery store visit.
