Vegetarian Star

The two contestants are in the pit. All one needs is love. All the other needs is the F-word.

Admittedly, journalist like to sensationalize. Therefore, we thought it’d be best to come right out and say that the title of this post is a little exaggerated. No fight between Paul McCartney and Gordon Ramsey in the sense of an Ultimate Fighting, animal blood and guts vs. sharp carrots and tempeh face masks will be taking place. However, the story is interesting…

Gordon Ramsey isn’t exactly known for his love of vegetarians and even spent an entire season rearing calves that he easily made the transition from pet to plate (ouch, yuck, cruel…you get the picture by now). He was once quoted as saying:

“My biggest nightmare would be if the kids ever came up to me and said “Dad, I’m a vegetarian”. Then I would sit them on the fence and electrocute them.”

At least we know where he, unlike some politicians, stands.

However, Paul McCartney decided to play a little trash talk back game in Sainsbury Magazine.

“I think it’s a case of live and let live. I will talk to people about the advantages of vegetarianism, and it will upset me if we’ve had a good conversation and they turn around and say something stupid. I just read a quote from Gordon Ramsay… ‘If my daughter ever grew up and married a vegetarian, I’d never forgive her.’ But even that I would forgive because it’s not my affair, it’s not up to me if he talks stupid or not.” 

Judging from the tactfulness and thoughtfulness of each contestant’s opening punch, we think nice (and vegetarian) guys will finish first this time.

It’s good to keep up on political issues, whether you like any of the candidates or not. You should be studying energy and immigration policies, how each are planning to solve the high-priced gas issue, and whether McCain likes pepperoni or vegetable pizza.

Yes, that right. You need to know what the politicians are eating!

Vegan Dennis Kucinich is said to favor food of the same color-moderate tan. Of course this sounds as if someone is obviously poking fun at his vegan preferences of hummus, pasta, and pad thai.

McCain may be be furthest from the vegan politician, and not just in terms of views. One of his favorite foods include pepperoni pizza. And we’re not talking about the soy kind. According to the Chicago Sun Times, he is also a big fan of the very unveggie B.L.T.

Executive chef Scot Jones of The Vegiterranean, a vegan restaurant co-owned by him and Pretenders Rocker Chrissie Hynde in Ohio, suggested that regardless of what party you root for, you must admit your favorite politician could probably benefit from some eating improvements.

“The eating habits of both Republicans and Democrats need to change across America,” he said. “People are eating too much saturated fat, trans fat, cholesterol and sugar. The level of juvenile diabetes is absurd. The only way we can start to stop this is if the White House starts thinking about our future.”

Maybe that change is sooner than we think. Obama already wants more veggies for the children. And he also likes vegetable pizza.

Like OMG, did you hear that Tina and Jim broke up, Marissa is pregnant, and Alicia Silverstone was eating tuna?!

Yes, this is how rumors get started people. We don’t know if this one is true or not, but with all the celebs seemingly having two faces lately, one for the veg heads and the other for the omnivores, we’re not so sure anymore.

Alicia Silverstone was reported to have grabbed a…tuna sandwich…while in the company of her husband, Christopher Jarecki, before heading off to a wedding at a private residence. But we have questions about this speculation…

Even after clicking on the pictures and seeing them in large view, we can’t tell what the sandwich is. It’s still in the container and you can’t make out the print. And there’s not one pic of either of them (Christopher is a vegetarian as well) putting anything in their mouths. It could have even been a veggie faux tuna sandwich.

We’re keeping mum on this one and hope our favorite Raw Balls girl didn’t cheat.

KFC has never really “done chickens right,” but it looks like Sophie Monk is doing vegetarian really, really wrong.

The Australian actress, who has worked with PETA (which of course means taken off her clothes) and claims to have been a vegetarian since she was 18, was spotted exiting a Hollywood Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, complete with bags of what looks to be non vegetarian food goodies in her arms.  And since California isn’t Canada, there’s no way she was carrying the new vegan chicken sandwich.

A few months earlier, she was quoted as saying:

“I think the message to KFC eaters [is that] you should think about what you’re eating. If you’re eating deformed animals that are being induced by hormones, you know, it can not be good for you.”

Maybe she’s not getting her own message.

Yes, KFC has been thanked by vegans, but this isn’t the best way to do it.

Oops! This time it was Jessica,  not Britney that did it again. It was really just a booboo guys…

We actually have a little bit of sympathy for her. Poor Jessica Simpson has taken a lot of beatings from vegetarians and animal rights groups for making a the serious waldrobe malfunction of wearing a “Real Girls Eat Meat” T-shirt.

She said in an interview that she wasn’t surprised by the actions people took after she wore the shirt and that she really loves vegetables-she just loves meat too.

“I love vegetables but I could not be a vegetarian. I wish I could but I really do like meat. And yeah, I caught a lot from that but I just wore the shirt because I thought it was funny, I didn’t know that it was going to be so offensive to so many people. Oops.”

Celebrities can be either praised or condemned by groups like PETA for their actions involving animals and the planet. In this case, Liz Hurley is getting the latter of the treatment as she is being criticized for using meat in her upcoming line of pre-packaged meals, advertised as both “healthy” and “low-fat.”

“Animal products, which are typically loaded with saturated fat and cholesterol, are far from being healthy,” said Yvonne Taylor, PETA representative, in a written letter. 

“Won’t you please consider promoting a truly healthy, low-fat vegetarian diet? A vegetarian diet not only reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and numerous other life-threatening illnesses but is also a far kinder diet for animals who need not have their lives cut short to please our palates.”

PETA is also urging Hurley to spare the life of a piglet that she is rearing on her personal farm.

“Just as you would cringe at shipping Emily (Hurley’s dog) off to slaughter, you should also be reluctant to betray a pig who you have cared for and befriended.”

No word on the type of meal Hurley plans to use the piglet for, but we can’t help but agree with the last statement and think Hurley should keep pets off the plate.
