1 in 200 Kids Vegetarian: Celebrity Tots Included

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, January 26th, 2009 in Female Singers, Models, Research + Science.

Heather Mills donates one million dollars in food to up the nutritional standards of the children in Hunts Point in the Bronx

A recent study has estimated that 1 in 200 children are vegetarians. The kid who brings the tofu sandwich that no one wants to trade with is getting company and there’s a good chance he’ll have someone to swap for seitan at school.

There are many children of celebrities who have made news because of their diet, or perhaps more so because of their parents strongly insisting on their vegetarian diet.

Heather Mills made headlines last year when she reportedly gave an eight page letter of requirements for her daughter Bea’s food regime while vacationing with ex Paul McCartney.

Mills’ strong spirit to instill the veg lifestyle in her own child has been extended to her helping other children, donating time and money to impoverished kids and their families, helping them access and learn to cook meatless dishes.

Madonna put it in writing as well, but legally, when she required ex husband Guy to only serve the children organic, macrobiotic vegan food.

With news such as the U.S. Government’s estimate and high profile celebrities making their children’s diet public, more parents may consider sending more carrots and yogurt to school with their child, versus a Lunchable and fruit roll ups.

Kate Moss's 35th birthday

Kate Moss is a year older. And according to all the reports on the net, she had a block party like no other this weekend.

The 35 year old who celebrated with some pals found uninvited police guests at her doorstep twice in one night after neighbors complained about the noise.

But what’s worse than a loud party keeping you up at night? Attending a party with a deer head on the wall!

Poor Stella McCartney and the rest of Kate’s veggie friends had a rough night, being surrounded by furry (dead) stuffed animals in Kate’s mansion, according to the UK Mirror.

In addition, Stella had to walk over various fur rugs scattered across the floor.

To top it off, Kate served roasted suckling pig.

Kate once said in an interview that she was a vegetarian for six months, then quit.

PETA UK, send this chick a veg re-starter kit!

Christie Brinkley’s Got Milk Video And Interview

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, January 19th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Models, Videos.

Earlier today, we told you Christie recently unveiled her new “Got Milk?” ad at the Sundance Film Festival recently.

Here’s a video of her shooting for the ad, along with an interview with the vegetarian supermodel. When she’s having problems getting her kids to eat healthy, she likes to rename the foods to something fun. We’re sure she’s not using any names Stephen Colbert uses, though.

Speaking of milk, you vegans might have something to say about this.

Milk comes with controversy, both for animal rights and health reasons. Will there be a time when a Got Soy Milk? campaign gets going? Or Rice milk. Or almond milk. Who would you like to see wear a non-dairy milk mustache?

Christie Brinkley Helps Launch

Let’s face it, beautiful women have power.

So it’s no surprise to hear that supermodel Christie Brinkley had power over her family when she decided to turn vegetarian as a teenager.

“I became a vegetarian when I was 13 and then got my entire family to become vegetarians,” she recently told PEOPLE when asked her secret to looking gorgeous at 54.

She was unveiling her new Got Milk? ad at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

She also said nutrition had always been important in her life as well as working out on her total gym.

No doubt her attention to nutrition is what kept her healthy and sane during her messy divorce to ex Peter Cook.

Heather Mills Hosts Healthy Meal Cook-A-Thon with students in The Bronx

Heather Mills was a busy woman in New York this past weekend, giving vegan cooking demonstrations and lessons to families and children living in the Bronx.

Before she put on her chef hat, Heather made a stop by “The Today Show.” If you haven’t already watched the video of her chatting with Matt Lauer, Al Roker (who is also a chef), and the crew, it’s something you don’t want to miss.

As part of her ongoing efforts to contribute to her charity to Hunts Point Alliance for Children (HPAC), Heather taught families of children of John V. Lindsay Charter School how to prepare healthy, vegan food.

The meals will also be served at the “No Beef Teen Cafes” run by HPAC and other community organizations. The community Heather is working with is considered to have one of the highest rates of diabetes and asthma and many living in poverty.

“As a mother I see firsthand the benefits of healthy eating and I’m thrilled the families of Hunts Point are embracing these delicious vegan foods that I’ve loved for so many years” Mills said. “Working with these children here is truly rewarding and a lot of fun.”

Last year, Heather donated a million dollars worth of vegan food to Hunts Point Children Alliance.

Meatless Mouthful: Heather Mills’ Leg Injury Turned Her Vegan

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, January 9th, 2009 in Meatless Mouthful, Models.

Heather Mills gets down on all fours doggy style in Washington DC

“In 1993 I lost my leg in a motorcycle accident, which is quite ironic because I had been working on the frontline for a number of years in the former Yugoslavia and should have probably lost it via the landmine — which a lot of people think is the reason why I lost it. Anyway it wouldn’t heal — the infection just kept going further and further up the leg and they kept amputating more and more, and I didn’t want to lose it above the knee.”

“So my girlfriend came in, and said she had healed herself on this raw vegan diet. At that time I was a meat, fish, lobster-eating girl. I was 25 years old and had no idea about real health with the understanding I have now, but wanted to heal my leg. So she said, “Come out with me.” So I went to Hippocrates in West Palm Beach and they put me on a raw vegan diet and wheatgrass juice and organic juice — mainly vegetable-based — and my whole leg just closed and healed within a matter of weeks.”

—-Heather Mills, on how she began the journey to veganism in an interview with Ecorazzi.
