Vegetarian Star

Like her spunky character Darlene in Roseanne, actress Sara Gilbert doesn’t shy away from giving her opinion, and she might share her views about America’s diet on a new mom-focused CBS daytime show, The Talk, which premiers October 18th.

“I’m vegan so I’m about as green as you get,” says Gilbert. “I think the diet in this country is kind of broken so I like talking about that.”

Gilbert was a vegetarian for 20 years before going vegan.

Gilbert is also the producer of The Talk, which will feature Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur on the celebrity panel with her.  A preview of The Talk can be seen below.

As reported earlier, this week’s episode of The Biggest Loser featured Bob Harper taking some contestants back to his home and serving them vegan food.

As always, Bob gives some tips for creating a healthier kitchen, including staying away from processed foods.

Harper insists he doesn’t keep a lot of food in the house, because food that will store longer means more processed ingredients. It’s a safe bet he’s not harboring a McDonald’s burger that will not decompose after six months.

“I think the food you should have in your house should have a shelf life of two weeks,” Harper said.

The contestants enjoyed a completely vegan meal of roasted wild mushroom with shaved fennel salad, an heirloom tomato and basil leaf salad, chopped broccoli with pine nuts, roasted sweet corn and roasted cauliflower.

Watch the clip below to hear the contestants’ reaction to their first vegan meal.

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a Global Smile Ambassador for Operation Smile, the same charity that offers surgery for oral deformities to children in need that recently awarded model Christie Brinkley for her service. This Harvard educated news anchor puts a smile on her face when she frequents her favorite New York city hot spots that cater to her vegetarian lifestyle. She explained she’s likely to find something pleasurable, even in the odd hours.

“There is always passion, energy, and life in the city, even at 2 a.m. when I head to work,” Lapin said.

At Haute Living, Lapin shared the restaurants, markets and eco-friendly businesses filled with passion, energy and life.

Vegan ice cream restaurants, vegan restaurants, vegetarian sushi eateries and a certain farmers market make her list, as well as environmentally friendly ways to travel, like the ZipCar.

Here are a few of her favorites:

Stephen Colbert has never failed to come to the humor rescue, making light of green and environmental topics that are absurd, news-breaking, or, in the case of discontinuing the 100% biodegradable Sun Chips bags because opening them made too much noise, insane.

Soon, things will get quieter again. And we’ll be able to hear some of the sounds that are becoming an unfortunate part of nature.

“Luckily we can save the planet from unpleasant sound by using new quiet coal technologies and breakthroughs in silent oil,” Colbert says. “And if we just do that much, eventually the ice caps will melt, the seas will rise, and our coastal cities will be underwater, where it’s nice and quiet.”

Vegan Sun Chips lovers, however, can still make all the noise they want. For now.

Cesar Millan will feature wolf-dog hybrids on “The Dog Whisperer” this season. Produced by breeding a wolf with a particular breed of dog like Akitas, German shepherds, Alaskan Malamutes, and huskies, the wolf-dog half breed combines the genes of a wild and domestic creature, but it’s often the wild genes that are dominant, resulting in destruction to human homes and threats to safety of other creatures surrounding them.

“One thing we have to understand about a wolf, besides the primal side of them, is the physical ability,” Millan said, in an interview with The DCist. “In the jaw of a wolf is the mouth of two pit bulls. A pit bull has 750 psi, pressure, in his jaw. A wolf has 1500 psi in his mouth.”

Citing incidents where these hybrids have killed people and pets, The Humane Society of the United States urges all states to ban private possession of these animals. However, a look at wolfdogalliance.org reveals laws vary tremendously by state, from allowing hybrids to be kept as pets with a license to no regulation at all.

Simon Cowell is a year older, and unfortunately, Americans will no longer be able to follow him into his golden years on American Idol now that he’s left the show.

However, animal lovers know Cowell never gave an animal a bad review about its performance, numerously citing his love for pets and being the face behind several campaigns regarding their welfare, such as not leaving dogs in hot cars and working with the World Society for the Protection of Animals in hopes of getting universal protection for them.

PETA decided to celebrate Cowell’s 51st birthday by spaying and neutering 51 animals in their “Spay and Neuter Immediately, Please!” (SNIP) mobile veterinary clinic.

Every animal needs a “whisperer.” Ellen DeGeneres and Ginnifer Goodwin may not know all the inner workings of the turkey mind yet, but theses ladies do know enough about the animals to realize they’re incredible sentient beings who deserve their own Thanksgiving feast and not spread across the table as one.

Ellen is serving as the Adopt-A-Turkey ambassador for Farm Sanctuary’s annual drive that raises money to care for turkeys on the grounds and last year, Miss Goodwin had the privilege of serving as bird publicist.

Between the two turkey whisperers, who would you rather…

Chef Tim Love has anything but love for the vegetarian diet. Hoping to silence the veggie hoopla, he hopped onto CNN’s 5@5 to list the reasons why he thought cream of broccoli can’t compete with chicken fried steak. However, Jane Velez-Mitchell, host of HLN’s Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell jumped into the ring and fired back with five punches of her own as to why veg is the only way to go.

When Love said:

“Eating vegetarian may seem like the healthier option (and, probably, often is), but when it comes down to it, meat, in moderation, provides much needed protein, iron and amino acids. As long as you don’t go overboard and eat one of those 15-pound burgers you see on TV, you should be fine.”

Jane said:

“If huge amounts of protein were the key to perfect health, America would be the healthiest nation on earth because we eat a lot more meat than people in most other countries. But, we’re not the healthiest. Two thirds of us are overweight or obese and the crisis is accelerating. The drumbeat of protein is a selling tool – pure and simple – and we’ve all bought into it. Americans are getting more protein than they need.”
