Vegetarian Star

Jillian Michaels is gracing the cover of the May 2011 issue of Shape magazine.

The pescatarian who’s leaving The Biggest Loser after this season to work on promoting organic farming told the magazine she rates the foods she eats on a scale from 1-10. Some foods are junk foods, but they’re moderately rated junk foods, so she lets herself cheat with them.

Of course, a little vegan junk food here and there couldn’t be that harmful.

Parvesh Cheena plays Gupta, an employee everybody loves to avoid on NBC’s “Outsourced,” a sitcom about an Indian call center located in Mumbai for an American-based catalog ordering company.

Cheena is a pescatarian who will add more “almond milk, brown rice and stir fry” to his diet when trying to eat healthier. He’s also got a weakness for cauliflower. However, he admits he is a cheese-aholic and it’s the only thing standing between him and veganism. Or maybe one of those weird vegans who eat fish occasionally.

“My big downfall is deep-dish pizza from Chicago,” Cheena told CNN’s Eatocracy. “That is why I can’t go vegan – I can’t give up cheese. I can’t give up dairy.”

Hilary Swank

Hilary Swank joins Jeremy Piven in the group of fishing eating vegetarian celebrities who came down with a case of mercury poisoning.

Swank said for her role in “Million Dollar Baby,” she increased her consumption of seafood for more protein to put on weight and paid severely.

“I put on 19 pounds of muscle: I was 29, I was a vegetarian and suddenly I was eating so much fish that I got elevated mercury problems,” Swank was quoted as saying.

Jillian Michaels has announced the next season of “The Biggest Loser” that kicks off in January 2011 will be her last.

The pescatarian coach who recently teamed with So Delicious to promote non-dairy coconut milk, said she’d like to spend her time working to make Physical Education a priority in schools and get more subsidies to organic farmers.

The last original member of the Beach Boys that still tours, Mike Love, is performing in Durban, South Africa in December and he hopes to take advantage of the food culture in between rehearsals of “I Was Made To Love Her.”

The pescatarian is hoping to try one of Durbin’s famous dishes–bunny chow.

“I’m well aware of Durban’s reputation,” Love said. “And yes, I sure would try one of those bunny chows, with vegetable curry or perhaps fish.”

Bunny Chow is no lettuce and carrot mix. Nor were any rabbits harmed in the making. Rather the dish, which some speculate was created to serve take out items to blacks and other colored people that weren’t allowed to eat inside restaurants during Apartheid, is the original soup in a bowl–a loaf of bread with a hole in it filled with curry. Originally, it was only served with vegetable curry, then meat reared its ugly head into an otherwise hearty and healthy dish.

If you’re missing a Visa for South Africa, here are some simple instructions for making bunny chow in your kitchen.

“My thing is this – everything has to be able to be done with some kind of commitment and passion, and some reason that isn’t blown out of proportion and taken for granted.”

—Chuck D of Public Enemy during an interview with The Vine. Chuck eats a more sustainable diet by being a fish-eating vegetarian and he also is a human and animal rights activist.

If you follow the pescatarian diet, you should know, scientists have shown fish feel pain too. If you are still comfortable with your decision, please choose seafood wisely, eating only varieties that are not overfished and contain the least amount of unhealthy toxins like mercury.

Kirsten Vangsness plays Penelope Garcia, the technical analyst of the FBI’s Behavioral Analysis Unit on Criminal Minds with a warm and quirky personality that has a knack for finding all the right answers quickly.

Vangsness told Mother Nature Network about her green activities on the set of Criminal Minds, which include installing a water filter instead of using plastic bottles. She is almost a full time vegetarian, eating wild caught fish occasionally.

Wild fish beat their farmed counterparts in many areas of nutrition and eco-friendliness. They have more usable omega-3 fatty acids, less fat, are packaged without the use of artificial dyes to the flesh and come with less pesticides and environmentally destructive chemicals found at  higher levels in farmed fish like endocrine disrupting flame-retardant additives.
