Vegetarian Star

Saturday Night Live chose to poke fun of potential Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney in a skit where he “claimed to be interested in things we know he is not interested in.”

Like animal welfare, for instance.

The skit touted Romney as both the future “cat-neutering president” and the “cock-fighting president,” reminding those that follow a politician’s record on animal rights about an all too heartbreaking incident in 1983 when Romney allegedly took a trip to Canada with a dog strapped to the roof of the car.

Iowa Republican representative Steve King thinks if you’re a vegetarian or a vegan, it’s time to come out of the closet.

King was present at a hearing that discussed issues pertinent to the Department of Agriculture and animal husbandry when he noticed there were several animal welfare and animal rights groups present.

King insisted these people weren’t really there to discuss how to better the agricultural system by cleaning up big farms, improving living conditions for animals and making  the food supply safer but were on a secret mission to get rid of the system altogether. Because that will make it easier to get a lentil burger at McDonald’s.

Well, duh! But does that mean they should be forced to confess to the vegaphobes? Here’s how King coerced the veggies to admit what really goes on in their mouths behind closed doors.

So Chelsea Clinton has been a model vegetarian and vegan in the media.

She went veg while living in the White House, took cooking lessons from the chef there and fed her wedding guests with vegetarian and vegan food.

So what’s the deal with telling dad to eat Charlie Tuna every now and then?

Don’t ask former President Bill Clinton to take a seat next to a raw-meat dressed Gaga at the next big celebrity gala.

The 65-year old recently turned vegan has invited Lady Gaga to a late celebration of his birthday, the Hollywood Bowl.

He’s hoping she’ll dress a little more modestly than she did at the MTV Video Music Awards.

“I don’t eat any meat. I only eat fish twice a week, and I eat only vegetables and fruit, and I’ve lost total. … I was at my height about 305, now I’m down to 180, 185.”

–Al Sharpton, during an interview on The Wendy Williams Show. Just a quick reminder to Al and the rest of you pescatarians–fish is meat too. But congratulations to him for making a drastic change in his life for better health.

Being vegan doesn’t suck.

Just ask Bill Clinton.

During an interview on Today with Matt Lauer, Clinton finished off the 12 minute segment reassuring everyone that while there are many things that suck in the world, tofu and beans aren’t included.

LAUER: 30 seconds to end on a lighter note. When you were president, you were known for your appetite. Man, you loved the doughnuts, the junk food, anything southern fried. Now we sit here and you’re just turned 65, you’ve had a quadruple bypass and you’re a vegan. Does that suck?

“After his heart surgery he became much more diligent about taking long walks and going to the gym and going on hikes with my mom and their dog…. Starting a couple years ago, he really made a commitment to and a concerted effort to eat healthier. I am profoundly grateful that my dad makes different choices now. Selfishly, now I hope he lives forever. I am sure every child feels that way.”

–Chelsea Clinton, during an interview she gave after visiting an elementary school that is working to combat childhood obesity through the Alliance for a Healthier Generation. The organization was founded shortly after her father’s surgery as a partnership between the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation. Following a vegan diet may be the best way to make his daughter proud. Chelsea has been a vegetarian since she moved into the White House with dad.
