Vegetarian Star

Despite being “kicked out of school,” Jamie Oliver has successfully completed filming season 2 of his Food Revolution show. After the Los Angeles Unified School District refused to let him into any of their cafeterias, Oliver, being the feather ruffling genius that he is, continued his mission of revamping diets of some of the poorest families in the city with his mobile food truck and other antics.

Will it work? It probably won’t be easy.

As one woman in the preview mentions, “It is easier to get a gun, crack, or a prostitute in a lot of areas in Los Angeles before you can get a tomato.”

Ted Danson has published a book, Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them.

The actor best known as the bartender in Cheers uses Oceana as a platform to draw attention to the problem of actions that threaten the health of the world’s waters, among them overfishing, climate change and pollution.

Along with colored photos, graphs and other images that illustrate the problem, the 320 page hardcover book from Rodale Press also gives advice for stopping the changes that will ultimately destroy the stability of our waters.

Danson appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to discuss his new book and the issue of bycatch, which is marine life like sea turtles are unitentionally caught while trying to catch other organisms.

Olivia Munn appeared on The Today Show for St. Patrick’s day with host Hota Kotb.

The topic turned to the subject of whether or not some brides were happy with their proprosals. According to one poll, 1 in 4 women hated their proposals.

Kotb begins discussing her proposal, which involved a horse-drawn carriage in New York’s Central Park.

Yes, she dared to mention she enjoyed a horse-drawn carriage to the same Olivia Munn who’s spoken out about several animal welfare issues, including circus animals and horse-drawn carriages. Here’s how the conversation went:

“Did you guys just watch an 80s chick flick and then go off, and then did you realize that it’s really horrible to ride in those carriages?” Munn asked.

Unfortunately, it isn’t unheard of for a celebrity to make a gruesome appearance on stage involving animals, dead or alive.

Ozzy Osbourne bit the head off a bat, which landed him at a hospital for a rabies shot.

Russell Brand, now a vegetarian, used to smash dead animals on stage.

But would vegetarian Kesha use a real animal’s heart as a prop and drink blood from it during one of her performances?

Carnivore, animal, is she a cannibal?

When an aspiring Biggest Loser heads to the kitchen and comes back with a low-fat drink made of almond milk, he’s not the loser for the week, regardless of weight lost.

On a recent episode, the contestants teamed up to make meals worthy of the praise of celebrity chefs and America’s Next Great Restaurant judges Curtis Stone and Lorena Garcia.

Ken and Hannah (not Barbie) teamed up to bring the judges a Chocolate Peppermint Shake that replaced dairy milk with almond milk.

Alicia Silverstone shot a video for The Doctors television show in which she shares some tips for her vegan diet book, The Kind Life, which has just been released in paperback.

Sore throat or runny nose? It’s time for Miso Soup For The Soul!

Silverstone says the dish containing the Japanese seasoning made from fermenting soybeans, rice and barley will make you feel as good as you did when mom gave you the bird version of the get-better-soon soup.

Nothing turns a meat eater vegetarian faster than having to prepare their own dead animal for dinner, right?

At least that’s how it would be for Alexia Echevarria of Real Housewives of Miami.

For the Cuban dinner party the couple threw, Alexia and her husband personally went to the farm to hand-pick the meal. When it comes to actually cooking the animal–a full sized pig–Alexia cannot stand to look at it or offer any assistance as her husband breaks the hips and puts butters in the slits.

Not even covering up the pig’s face can make her detach and think of the animal as food.

Out of all the things wrong with a teenage drama show on a family oriented channel (murder of the Queen Bee, dating your high school English teacher), at least Pretty Little Liars gets diet and nutrition right.

A recent episode of the show starring Ashley Benson as Hanna Marin shows Hanna opening the fridge in her kitchen that is stocked full of soymilk!

Silk Plain, Vanilla and Chocolate are what Hanna sips on when she’s not wondering what happened to her deceased friend and taking creepy, annoying text messages from the mysterious “A” character that keeps reminding the girls he/she knows everything that’s happened. Whatever may have happened.

Hanna, her mother and teen girls around the world can relax now that Silk has revealed it’s staying true to its organic roots. Sorta. The company took some heat from Whole Foods when it was discovered it started using the “natural” label on most of its products while pushing a small line of organics. Whole Foods then decided to limit the distribution of Silk.

But Silk still wasn’t using GMO soybeans then and it doesn’t now. Plus, there are still dedicated organic varieties.
