Vegetarian Star

If there was anyone who acted like a closet veggie, it’s Joe Jonas.

Dude’s been spotted so many times enjoying items like veggie burgers at vegan restaurants like Real Food Daily.

And now, more evidence pointing towards his plant-based propensities has been snapped by MTV’s Buzzworthy Blog after he had been shopping  at a clothing store which is home to a cafe that specializes in soy, fruit and veggie-based shakes and drinks.

Jon Fitch may be the first celebrity do sport a soy, almond or rice milk mustache in a campaign for non-dairy milk.

In this video from Yahoo, Fitch discusses why he doesn’t think several glasses of dairy milk  a day can do the body much good.

Some medical experts have concluded that milk isn’t beneficial and even harmful to humans based on several research studies. There’s the casein (milk protein) tied to cancer argument. And no one feels that some of the hormones given to cows such as rBGH were ever meant to improve human health. There’s also the issue as to whether cow’s milk actually provides a good source of calcium, an idea that’s been pushed for years.

Looks like we won’t be tossing Alyssa Milano in the basket of female vegetarian celebrities who start chowing down on fried chicken during their pregnancies.

The Hall Pass actress revealed during a premiere of her new film that she “can’t get enough broccoli.”

Whew! So glad she didn’t say “beef stir fry” after the word “broccoli.”

Craving meat when you’re a pregnant vegetarian may be tough when you want to stick to your ethics, but there are also dangers that come with some of those unusual, uncontrollable desires.

Robin Quivers took a break from filming her web-based cooking show, Vegucating Robin, to blog at the Huffington Post on Oprah‘s most recent vegan stint.

Quivers’ post highlights how the several hundred Harpo staffers that went vegan with Oprah may have alleviated some of the most common medical problems caused by diets, if only for the short duration they stuck to the diet. She reminds readers that even the United States government is now telling people eating a more plant-based diet may go a long way to maintaining good health.

It’s not known how many of Oprah’s staffers continued the diet after the challenge was met. But Quivers hopes many at home who watched the episode will continue the course, seeing how taking control of one’s own health through the food he or she eats may do more than any discovery in the medical or biotech lab.

Carol J. Adams "The Sexual Politics of Meat"

“There’s this expectation that men should eat like a man and that women should serve men meat, should give him what he wants. There’s this conception that vegetarianism was okay for women and those associated with women. Homophobia is connected to meat-centered definitions of maleness. The idea that men should eat meat is rampant in our culture. Being taught to believe a diet like that is good for them. I hate to break it to you. But meat eating can cause [impotence] when you get older. This is not healthy. Men are not benefiting form the sexual politics of meat.”

—Carol J. Adams, feminist and author of The Sexual Politics of Meat, Living Among Meat Eaters and How To Eat Like A Vegetarian.

Just because you aren’t a druggie, doesn’t mean you won’t test positive. It’s all about association and the cows you lock lips with could bring you down.

Alberto Contador, a three-time Tour de France winner, was recently cleared of doping allegations.

Contador had always maintained he didn’t ingest the performance enhancing drug Clenbuterol. And there’s strong evidence the burgers and steak he ate could have been the source.

In his latest series of columns about sustainable food and food politics, author Mark Bittman is challenging the notion that GMO foods should not be labeled as such because they are no different from regular food.

Recently, the US Department of Agriculture has approved several GMOs, including alfalfa, corn and sugar beets. And it may not be long before steroid fish, otherwise known as genetically modified salmon, hits the stores too.
