Vegetarian Star

Marie Claire has compiled a few of Bones star Emily Deschanel‘s favorite eco friendly products.

If a fellow vegan wanted to copy Deschanel’s style without emulating that creepy, Single White Female role, it wouldn’t be hard because Marie Claire knows all!

What the Pluck?, a candle made by A Scent of Scandal, has got our attention without even sniffing it.

Made from 100% soy wax, A Scent of Scandal candles were created by Ari Solomon, who’s made contributions to the Huffington Post on animal issues.

There’s also EcoTools, the earth friendly make up kit and bag with Alicia Silverstone‘s name attached to them.

Vaute Couture vegan fashions from Leanne Hilgart, vegan desserts from Erin McKenna and vegan shoes from Elizabeth Olsen also make the cut.

Alicia Silverstone spoke at the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books this past weekend where she promoted her vegan lifestyle and diet cookbook, The Kind Diet.

She revealed that wearing a maternity suit while acting in the play Time Stands Still, was fun, and that she can’t wait to get pregnant.

“I’ve been wanting to have a baby since I was 2 years old – I’m destined to be a mother,” she said.

When she finally is carrying child, Silverstone is sure discuss details of her pregnancy, including how it affects her vegan cravings.

Bet she’ll even make her own vegetarian baby food, something a registered dietitian from Vegetarian Resource Group says is easy to do and includes recipes for suggestion on the group’s website.

Given the fact that so many female vegetarian celebrities complain of and give into meat cravings, it will be refreshing to hear the nine month experiences of a staunch vegan activist who will most likely not cave like the rest.

Between the two vegan Butter stars, who would you rather…

Alicia Silverstone just finished filming one of the first scenes for her new film Butter, and it seems she may have been type casted–if only for one scene.

As previously mentioned, the film is about the lives of people involved in a butter carving contest, and is meant to poke fun of the 2008 presidential election where a younger, inexperienced candidate upsets the projected winner.

Alicia’s character protested against Red Ribbon, the company that sponsors the butter carving contest and a competitor wants to use the video of her protest against her.

Ah, yes, you knew there would mudslinging in the politics of butter.

“Basically, my husband, who’s played by Rob Corddry, and I foster home this child who’s been passed from home to home and can’t catch a break. We’re the straight people, so we don’t do anything too ridiculous. But at one point, Jennifer Garner’s character tries to use old footage of [my character] at a PETA rally against Red Ribbon, the fictional butter company that sponsors the contest, to bring down me and my child. I got to wear my PETA shirt.”

During the protest, Alicia’s character throws manure at the butter truck.

Wasn’t she the actress that said dairy was nothing but poo anyway?

Actually, that was pus and blood.

Oh, well. Similar cuisine category.

Alicia Silverstone traveled to Shreveport, Louisiana to film Butter, a political satire movie where butter carving is the competition instead of an election.

Shreveport is no New York City, and it’s not as easy for Silverstone to walk around the corner during a break to grab an eggplant wrap with vegan cream cheese.

She told Wall Street Journal that everyone else on the set, vegetarian or not, has similar problems, but having another vegan in the cast, Olivia Wilde, makes it easier on her.

“Everyone here — both people who eat meat and people who don’t eat meat — is struggling with the food because it’s a very different world here in Shreveport; there’s a truckload of salt, and apparently every likes frying things alot. And there’s a lot of cheese involved. But I was prepared, and sussed out the situation before I got here. One really sweet thing is that Jason, the writer of the film, said to me that he was happy I was there…mainly because he knew that meant he was gong to eat well on the days i was on set. [My co-star] Olivia [Wilde] is also a vegan, so there’s a lot of support.”

Two restaurants in Shreveport that are vegetarian friendly are Counter Culture and Earthereal Restaurant and Bakery, both not being exclusively meat free and the latter serving vegan options.

Alicia Silverstone recently discussed the idea of whether consuming yeast is healthy on her website, The Kind Life.

Yeast is full of B vitamins, something vegetarians may be missing if not supplemented, but are the tiny microorganisms a good way of getting them?

Silverstone called upon her good buddy, vegetarian chef and cookbook author, Christina Pirello, for some advice.

“Nutritional yeast is super yum and has a cheesy taste,” Silverstone wrote. “Lots of vegans get excited about it because they feel it is a good source of b-12, but superheroes and the macro community feel like it’s a bad guy, so I avoid it.?”

Pirello said that some might want to avoid yeast if they experience digestive issues, because it’s believed to inhibit digestion when it expands in the digestive tract.

Think of rising bread rising in your stomach, making a big, bloated ball out of you.

“That said, there is nothing wrong with yeast if you are healthy and strong and well… no reason not to use it,” Pirello says. “I use it in small amounts in some of the breads I bake to create lightness… usually in combination with a sourdough starter so I get the best of both worlds… the fermented benefit of sourdough but the lightness of yeast, plus sourdough allows me to use less yeast. But in truth, there is no problem with yeast if your health and digestion is strong.?”

Yeast and yeast containing foods should also be avoided if trying to overcome a systemic yeast (Candida) infection.

Joining the cast of Butter with Alicia Silverstone will be vegan actress Olivia Wilde.

The film is a political satire of the 2008 Democratic election, in which butter carving is the competition, instead of an election.

Here’s a synopsis from MTV, which includes the roles for Jennifer Garner and Ty Burrell:

“Jennifer is the leading lady Laura — the Hillary Clinton of this scenario who is poised to win the butter-carving competition. Her husband, played by Ty Burrell, is a term-limited butter carving champ who picks up a stripper mistress along the way. While that is developing, Laura finds her plans to win the competition thwarted by a young African American upstart, played by Yara Shahidi.”

Wilde will be playing the stripper who seduces the former butter carving champion.

Previous reports said the Silverstone would play the character of the stripper, but it is now known she will play the adoptive mother of the African American upstart butter carver.

Whether the producers will be using real butter, margarine or something completely inedible isn’t known, but let’s hope if it’s real, they source if from small local farms that treat their cows more kindly, as opposed to alleged conditions uncovered at a Land O’Lakes supplier, which included filthy conditions and downer cows not being treated by veterinarians.
