Vegetarian Star

“They are marshmallows. Or at least marshmallow-like treats.”

“And they claim to be “vegan.” But how can you really tell?”

“Because if you look at this symbol, it seems like they don’t quite understand what “vegan” means.”

“100% vegan. And now with real rabbit.”

—-Lost actor Jorge Garcia, on the irony of how a symbol for a vegan product is an animal. Apparently, the maker of the product, Sweet and Sara, had a rabbit for a childhood pet named Skipper. The bunny logo serves as a symbol that no animals were harmed in the production (ingredients or byproducts) of the marshmallows.

“I did not like the non-veg food here so I preferred to go in for vegetarian food. We were told that one can get Indian food if ordered. But it was time consuming and I managed with the available veg items for breakfast and meals.”
—Tanvi Lonkar (pictured left), who played the teenage lead role of ‘Slumdog’ lead actress Latika, on the food available for her to eat while in the US. Lonkar cited food as one of the adjustments she had to make in the United States.

Lonkar should also have no problem getting good veg food back home, if she chooses. After visiting the actress’ native country, India, the director of Slumdog Millionaire, Danny Boyle,  described it as “Vegetarian Nation.“

Fashion Obsession:
Anything by Stella McCartney. I’m madly in love with her days of the week knickers.

Currently Craving:
Vegan pancakes from Real Food Daily in L.A., with soy butter and syrup.

—actress Ginnifer Goodwin, on her most recent obsessions, shared with InStyle Magazine. The He’s Just Not That Into You and Big Love actress told late night talk show host Conan O’Brien that being a vegan was like a “party in her body” everyday.

Good to know she’s wearing Stella McCartney’s cruelty-free clothing as well. Besides Real Food Daily, she has been known to pick up veg grub at Vegan Glory.

“I think that’s funny. From personal experience, I eat plenty of stuff with soy and nothing’s happened. I know people who’ve taken testosterone and they’ve gotten gynecomastia from the extra testosterone. So if testosterone can make your body produce more estrogen, then wouldn’t eating something that supposedly raises estrogen levels also raise your testosterone? My body would want to level it out.”

—-Ultimate Fighter Mac Danzig, when asked in an interview by Men’s Fitness, “What do you think about the claims that soy protein is estrogenic and will make you grow boobs and cause your balls to fall off?”

“There were no vegetarian restaurants in Akron. Plus, I wanted to do something to help destroy the mall culture of downtown.”
—-Chrissie Hynde, singer and musician of The Pretenders, on why she opened a vegan restaurant, The Vegiterranean, in her hometown of Akron, Ohio.

Guess Chrissie got tired of looking at all the corporate fast food chain restaurants that lined the streets of Akron. But hey, Chrissie, not all malls are bad. Some have veg offering Subway Restaurants, for instance.

Hynde recently made news after she participated in a protest against McDonald’s as part of the McCruelty campaign launched against the company due to how it treats its chickens before and during slaughter.

She has said she would like to remain on earth until all McDonald’s have burned to the ground.

She’ll have to work a little harder if she’s trying to demolish the malls at the same time.

“It was because of my wife. I was a guy who was compassionate to animals but not particularly involved in anything. I never wanted to be a vegetarian – I always thought vegetarians were hippies with too much free time. And then when I met my now wife and we started dating, she just opened my eyes to factory farming and a lot of stuff I’d never heard of.”

—-Cartoonist Dan Piraro, in an interview with Ecorazzi, on how he got involved with animal rights. Piraro’s works, which humorously portray vegetarian and animal rights issues, can be found on his website, Bizarro.com. He also blogs.

“Don’t let it overwhelm you or make it bigger than it is. Just pick a date, get organized (food shopping, etc.) and pledge to do thirty days meat-free. (Visit GoVeg.com for a free vegetarian starter kit.) And remember to take it one meal at a time. If you approach it like, “I can never eat meat again?” of course you’ll struggle. But if you just tell yourself, “Right now, for this meal, I’m going to eat something else,” you’ll make it through with flying colors.”
—author Rory Freedman, in an interview with Ecorazzi on how to get going towards vegetarianism.

“Not vegan yet, i eat cheese made from my own milk, however i am farmed inhumanely and shall report myself to the UN at dawn.”
—comedian Russell Brand in response to a question on his Twitter if he was a vegan. Salma Hayek has been making headlines about breastfeeding babies that aren’t hers-maybe Russell is stocking up on the breast pumps for an entrepreneurial adventure?

We’d like to look more into this “farmed inhumanely” situation. Russell doesn’t seem to be the type you should keep caged…Or should you?

Russell’s Twitter, rustyrockets, is becoming quite popular, gaining 2,000 followers in the first 20 minutes when it launched last month.
