Vegetarian Star

Ellen DeGeneres is the spokesperson for this year’s Adopt A Turkey event from Farm Sanctuary.

The vegan actress is asking everyone to adopt a turkey that resides on the sanctuary grounds in lieu of having one on their dinner plate.

“Did you know that every year between 250 and 300 million turkeys are bred for slaughter in the United States?” DeGeneres asked. “More than 46 million for Thanksgiving alone. So, this Thanksgiving instead of eating a turkey, please join me in adopting one from Farm Sanctuary’s Adopt-A-Turkey Project and you can give a turkey something to be thankful for.”

We all know Bob Harper officially denounced veganism a few weeks ago, but we had no clue of the extent of his carnivorous gluttony.

The Biggest Loser coach was invited to dinner on a recent episode of the reality TV series.

He didn’t exactly order salads and seitan.

We’ll have Buddy TV explain it further:

Daphne Oz

The Chew is a dream come true for the daytime talk show/foodie person who’s looking for a little more than the Food Network.

Hosted by some of the biggest names in celebrity food, this ABC series may be taking food TV in the right direction by featuring chefs like Mario Batali and Carla Hall, both known for incorporating fresh, seasonal and plant-based items into their entrees.

It doesn’t hurt that one of the hosts is Daphne Oz, promoter of a vegetarian diet and author of The Dorm Room Diet.

The daughter of Dr. Oz, host of the popular daytime medical series The Dr. Oz Show, Daphne recently demonstrated one of the family’s favorite meatless recipes–Oz Family Chili.

Those that watched the episode may have heard Daphne say she was adding chicken broth to the recipe.

However, that was nothing more than a good ol’ vegetarian April Fool’s joke.

Daphne wrote on her Facebook page, “Oops, I said i used “chicken stock” in my veggie chili–so sorry, guys! it was veggie broth!”

Is one of daytime TV’s most liked talk show hosts starting a career as a serial writer?

Ellen DeGeneres‘ next book Seriously I’m Kidding is scheduled for release in October. Ellen has never shied away from discussing the events that led to her veganism, so it’s a good guess she’ll touch on her lifestyle in this book too.

Even better for her vegan fans, Ellen may be releasing a cookbook in the future.

Bob Harper loss a little love from vegan fans when he revealed he occasionally cheated with dairy items.

Now he has come clean with Reuters that he’s given up veganism altogether.

Some of you may have already had your suspicions…

His #1 reason for sneaking around and indulging in egg whites, dairy chocolate and cheese is the stereotypical “my body needed it” one.

Ellen DeGeneres is showing her beautiful vegan face on the October 2011 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine.

Inside, the talk show host discusses her love of animals, including the animal charities she’s worked with.

She’s donated her time and money to animal welfare organizations like Humane Society and sanctuaries like The Gentle Barn, but would you call her an activist?

Maybe a “compassionist” would better define her.

Dr. Oz and his health column partner Dr. Mike Roizen are dishing out some good advice for a family that wants to trim the animal fat from its diet.

A husband asks Oz and Roizen:

“Both my wife and I work late, so we often stop at fast-food places for our family dinners. We want to change this, but how will we get the kids to eat anything else now that they’re used to burgers and fries all of the time?”

“I went with a friend to [California's] Santa Monica Pier. We were idly watching a guy fishing; he reeled in a fish, and the poor thing was gasping and writhing. I thought, I’m going to take a break from the animal-killing thing. I still think about the fish, and wish I could communicate to that spirit how many lives it saved.”

Martha Quinn, well-known 80s pop culture icon who was one of the original MTV VJs. Quinn’s entire family is vegetarian–even the dogs. Quinn’s Q & A can be found in the July/August 2011 issue of Vegetarian Times.
