Vegetarian Star

TLC’s Extreme Couponing follows the lives of those who set the alarm early for Sunday morning just to start clipping before the coffee’s even heated.

Most vegetarians know that the coupon world is more of a miss than hit for us, as brands of meatless, eggless and dairyless products usually aren’t promoted in the Sunday paper.

But one woman named Perry who’s raising her family on a vegan diet is showing there’s a voucher for everything–even that soft, vitamin-infused, miso flavored tofu you thought you’d never get a discount on.

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.

Twilight series actress Christian Serratos has recorded a PSA advocating alternatives to animal dissection in the classroom.

“Each year, more than 10 million animals are used for classroom dissection, including frogs, cats and fetal pigs,” Serratos says in the video below.

“These animals haven’t donated their bodies to science and they have the same ability to experience pain and fear as your companion animals at home.”

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!”

It’s a little too early for New Year’s, but Giada de Laurentiis is already predicting the next big trend of 2012.

The Italian chef, Food Network star and cookbook author says next year will be all about “vegetarian, vegetarian, vegetarian.”

“I think people are just really looking for lighter food on a regular basis,” Giada said.

“Because of that I’m testing out a lot of pizza recipes with gluten-free flours. Almond flour and quinoa are two of my new favorite ingredients to use in everything. I’ve been playing around with them a lot — how to make fresh pasta with it, how to put it into baked goods — and then, of course, agave as a substitute for sugar. I’m trying to find fun ways to incorporate these things that have actually been around for a long time, not necessarily in our culture, and make them more mainstream.”

In the video below from the Food Network, Giada explains her motivations for developing vegetarian recipes, which include both her fans and her family.

Australian model Ruby Rose chose to wear her own skin for a recent Maxim Australia photo shoot and she believes animals should have that choice too.

“Not a lot of people know about fur,” Rose said in an interview with the magazine. “I was mortified thinking this happens just to make a f–king jacket. I can’t get past the idea of having an animal that’s been skinned alive on top of me and somehow thinking that’s cool from a fashion standpoint.”

Art of the Animal: Myq Kaplan from Our Hen House on Vimeo.

Myq Kaplan was featured in Our Hen House’s “Art of the Animal Series” and he brought his quirky and dry sense of humor with him in exchange for “hummus and hugs.”

“What inspired me to initially become a vegetarian was I say thoughts that a lot of people have, you know, about ‘hey, we shouldn’t hurt animals,'” Myq says in the interview. “Those thoughts are normally stamped out by, “Ah, but the animals are delicious.'”

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?
