Vegetarian Star

Life and Style hears that Madonna is a fan of BabyCakes bakery.

The magazine recently featured an article, Cupcakes Stars Love, and listed the Material Girl as liking the vanilla cupcake with lemon frosting.

Wonder if Madonna requested bundles of these desserts to make her Sticky and Sweet tour even sweeter.

The Travel Channel recently featured veggie burgers in its Burger Paradise show.

According to the clip, the first official veggie burger was created in London in the 80s.

A southern California restaurant that only serves veggie burgers was featured.

“Vegetarians and vegans love their burgers just as much as meat-eaters. Packed with fresh vegetable, bean, rice and soy ingredients, each veggie patty is jam-packed with flavor. Established in 1977, The Spot has been a fixture in the Hermosa Beach community ever since. Who are the biggest customers? According to owner Tonya Beaudet, carnivores come in flocks to sample the veggie burger’s unique flavor.”

“The Spot” in Hermosa offers a twist to the traditional deep fried french fry side–a scoop of wholesome brown rice instead.

Ryan Gosling has voiced his concerns over what PETA says are outdated slaughter practices fast food giant McDonald’s is practicing.

In a letter to McDonald’s CEO Jim Skinner, Gosling pointed out that although there are no laws governing chicken slaughter in the U.S., Europe has already adopted a more humane way of slaughter.

“Dear Mr. Skinner, I was shocked to learn from my friends at PETA that McDonald’s, a company that claims to be an industry leader in animal welfare, still allows its suppliers to use an outdated chicken slaughter method that results in broken wings and legs and causes birds to be scalded to death in defeathering tanks.”

Gosling wrote a similar letter to officials at KFC Canada in 2008 and the company that coordinates purchases for those KFCs is currently in the process of phasing in all their chickens from suppliers that use this method.

No chickens killed is the best, but more humane slaughter methods are a step in the right direction.

Grab and pen, pencil or keyboard and make your voice heard to Mr. Skinner at Jim Skinner, CEO, McDonald’s Corporation, 2111 McDonald’s Dr., Oak Brook, IL 60523.

Erin McKenna of BabyCakes has perfected the vegan donut.

NY Mag is reporting the eggless, dairyless rings come in several flavors, such as chocolate-glazed, coconut-lemon and cinnamon-sugar.

Sounds delicious!

Will BabyCakes new donuts be worth every penny to the last crumb?

Jason Schwartzman or Zooey Deschanel will have to hold a vegan eating contest and find out.

The magazine has picked its 25 top pizzerias in the U.S., and one Philadelphia pizzeria named “Best in Philly” made the cut.

Most pizzas can be ordered without cheese, but there’s something exciting about walking into an eatery knowing there’s a pie, rich in flavor and tradition, already waiting for you.

After introducing the vegan friendly burrito to the Washington, D.C. area, Chipotle is giving New Yorkers the opportunity to enjoy meatless Mexican.

The Village Voice had a Garden Blend prepared and reported the taste wasn’t quite like seitan, but didn’t have that “creepy texture and weird soy aftertaste of texturized vegetable protein (TVP).”

If you like the creepy texture of TVP, you still might find the Garden Blend enjoyable, especially when you consider the reasonable  price of only about $7 ($10 with guacamole).
