Craig Ferguson Advice To Ewan McGregor: Get Therapy, Vegan Diet

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, May 21st, 2009 in Actors, TV Hosts, Videos.

MOTHERHOOD: A Benefit for MAaternal Fetal Care International (MFCI)Ewan McGregor was recently on The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.

Craig asked Ewan what he was doing to cope with living in LA. The Angels and Demons star replied, “Yoga and therapy.”

Craig started rambling off ways to be healthy and said, “Yoga, moisturize, therapy, and a vegan diet and you’ll live forever.”

Unless things have changed, we know Craig’s not vegan or even vegetarian yet and he might still have fears about soy and man boobs.

Many of you have the vegan thing going on. Russell Simmons likes a yoga studio that will hook you up in New York. We’re partial to Aubrey Organics moisturizers, as most of them are vegan and can be used by all veg folks. That leaves therapy….well…Dr. Phil did drop the V word on his show once.

Watch the clip of Ewan and Craig at cbs.com. The discussion which includes a vegan diet begins around minute 22.

Engine 2 Diet’s Rip Esselstyn: Real Men Eat Plants, Boys Eat Meat

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 18th, 2009 in Authors, Videos.

Nice little video of Rip Esselstyn, author of the Engine 2 Diet discussing how the firefighters of Austin, Texas’ Fire Engine Company #2 eat vegan during work shifts.

Rip encouraged the guys at Engine 2 to go veg after some were having medical problems like high cholesterol. According to the video, a study showed heart disease kills more firefighters than fire itself. 

Esselstyn’s book, which helped Newsweek’s David Noonan go vegan and lose weight, was written after he was inspired to go veg from his father’s research. His father, Dr. Caldwell Essestyn says, “Having the USDA design your food pyramid is like having Al Capone do your taxes.”

Esselstyn’s entire family eats vegan and it looks like the family favorite food is kale (Watch aunt Esselstyn rip the leaves off that plant, yo)

Best quote of the day starts at the beginning of the video when Rip says, “Real men eat plants and boys meat meat.”

Rip thinks in the next five years eating meat will be such a social disgrace, taking your tenderloin away from the picnic gathering will be equal to asking a smoker not to smoke inside.

While he may be a little overly optimistic, with more people choosing to at least flex or reduce some meats in their diet, Rip’s definitely onto some future trend.

Jimmy Kimmel Disses Pork: Living Veggie Life On The Down Low?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, May 13th, 2009 in TV Hosts, Videos.

2008 American Music Awards Nominations AnnouncedThere’s something sexy about a man who dates a woman who orders spaghetti without the meatballs. Just wish we could have know what he ate that night, but it probably wasn’t pork.

Jimmy Kimmel recently gave pork the thumbs down in the New York Times, citing the association with meat and diseases.

“The government does not want us to call it the swine flu. They’re calling it the 2009 H1N1 virus. The reason for the change is they want people to know you can still eat all the pork you want without any risk to your health, except diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.”

Ouch! Jimmy telling it like it is!

He’s not known for being a vegetarian yet, but could this talk show host who has an on/off relationship with Sarah Silverman more than some flexitarians give up then eat meat again be heading in that direction?

According to Ecorazzi.com, Kimmel has ran a couple of humorous videos that the Meat industry might record in response to vegetarian PSAs, like this one below.

We think Jimmy has to at least be doing some part time veggie lovin’!

Dr. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson: Less Would Eat Meat If They Killed It

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 11th, 2009 in Authors, Videos.

In a new documentary, Processed People, author Dr. Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson explains the very simple reason why he went veg: He didn’t want to see animals slaughtered.

Masson thinks that most people feel this way and if we were forced to kill our own meat, at least 90% of people would be vegetarians.

“There are always people who are willing to kill,” Dr. Masson says. “But you know what’s interesting? In every society, butchers are almost a class apart. It’s as if the person does not want to be associated with the act of killing. I think almost everybody has a bad conscience about it.”

Masson is the author of books such as The Face on Your Plate: The Truth about Food and When Elephants Weep.

Wyntergrace Williams’ Video For Vegetarian School Lunches

Written by Vegetarian Star on Monday, May 4th, 2009 in Children, Food & Drink, Videos.

Last week, this young lady went to Capitol Hill to ask Congress to get their act together and make sure vegetarian lunches are on the menu at public schools.

“Some of us don’t eat right,” says Wyntergrace Wiliams, daughter of Montel Williams. “Fast food, junk food-sometimes even our school lunches have too much fat and cholesterol.”

Now you can embed this video and make it spread faster than an Internet hoax to spread the news on getting everybody to sign the petition to give kids healthier school lunches in the classroom.

Because the only thing worse than a bad grade on a report card is mystery meat on your plate.

Joanne Rose Featured As Vegetarian Elite

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, May 1st, 2009 in Actresses, Authors, Videos.

Joanne Rose is featured in Supreme Master TV’s “Vegetarian Elite” video series.

Joanne is an author who’s written both a vegan children’s book, Tommy Tofu Saves The Day, and a sketch comedy called “Date A Vegan.”

“Date A Vegan” humorously exaggerates how vegans behave.

“I became a vegan in 1994,” says Joanne in the video. “I was raised a meat eater. But that’s not through anything else than just conditioning. That’s what we’re used to. Then it was in a cooking class in high school that we learned what a vegan was. We heard about a vegetarian and a vegan. And they said that a vegan just eats plant food. And I was sitting there in the kichen in the cooking class thinking, “Eats plant food?!”  But then it was only a matter of time I was vegetarian. I knew to make that decision-the direct link between animal cruelty and killing of animals.”

Watch the video to see Joanne’s kitty Remy and learn more about Joanne’s passion for veganism.

Kathy Freston blogged about the benefits of skipping chicken once a week on the environment and Vienna Teng is living that example. 

During a recent interview with laist.com, the New York based pianist and singer-songwriter said she finds it hard to be a complete vegetarian (she says she loves Southern fried chicken too much), but agrees with the principles and tries to flex when possible.

“I don’t know LA all that well, but I do love this vegan restaurant, Real Food Daily, in Santa Monica. When I was recording Dreaming Through the Noise, I randomly decided that I was going to be a vegetarian. I basically agree with vegetarianism in principle but I don’t have the willpower to do it long-term. I’ve just been trying to do it in short stretches, and that was one of them. So when I was recording that album in Santa Monica, I probably went to RFD five times a week. I love their bacon cheeseburger!”

Here’s Vienna in her music video “Gravity,” from the album, Waking Hour.
