Quantcast Jason Mraz (2)

A creative PSA has been put together featuring the likes of vegetarian celebrities like Jason Mraz and Woody Harrelson, plus several others who care about the plight of captive dolphins.

The video starts out with facts about each celebrity’s “friend.”

After summarizing a slew of skills this friend has that humans don’t, it’s revealed the friend is in danger, threatened by both captivity and hunting.

The PSA was created by the people involved with the Oscar award winning documentary on the killing of dolphins in Japan that are later sold for meat and captivity, The Cove.

Jason Mraz has five commitments he’d like to stick to in the next year and decade that he shared with fans on his blog.

Jason would like to focus on local, organic and natural foods and gives factory farmed meat a good lashing.

“Did you know that processing one pound of meat requires 5000 gallons of water? Did you know that 1 cow used to produce fast food and grocery store ground beef requires 35 gallons of oil (1 barrel) to support it’s force–fed life? Did you know that cows are natural herbivores (grass grazers) and are force fed corn feed, cow parts and other animal bi-products to speed up the process to where they are fat enough to be slaughtered?  Buying quick and easy meat is like biting the hand that feeds you. Modern industrial agri-business is THE #1 contributor to the dying world.”

But a closer look at his post makes you wonder if the otherwise known as mostly vegan Jason is more tolerant of naturally raised meat.

“If we all shifted our attention back to grass-fed meat, we would be supporting farms that participate in a natural turning of land, from sunlight to grass, grass to proteins, protein to fertilizer, rinse and repeat. Not to mention, we would be treating our divine bodies better.”

Once a raw vegan who then claimed to have some occasional hot soup and (possibly) joking about eating a fish taco now and then.

Has Jason become a flexitarian?

MacBeth shoes gets a lot of press for its vegan line from celebrities like Hunter Burgan, but has Jason Mraz given TOMS Shoes a publicity boost as well?

The musician was reportedly sporting a pair during what was called a “super chill interview.”

The shoes Jason is wearing look similar to the Dolina line, but the Dolinas are described as having leather insoles.

Is there a Dolina vegan line not yet available to the public?

TOMS does however, have its share of vegan shoes, including a style created to benefit Charlize Theron‘s charity.

The owners of one of Jason Mraz‘s favorite raw vegan food restaurants, Cafe Gratitude, recently opened a Mexican vegan eatery, Gracias Madre.

As expected, Jason has expanded his love for Gracias Madre and recently made a Tweet about it.

“Today in San Fran: Cafe Gratitude opens Gracias Madre, A Vegan Taqueria! I’ve sampled the yumness already. It’s your new favorite spot.”

Gracias Madre offers 100% completely organic and vegan food and all cheese, milk and ice cream is created from nuts.

The menu features everything from tacos with fresh veggies, beans and cashew cheese to butternut squash soup to salads.

Gracias Cafe Gratitude for putting the vegan punch in Mexican!

Saturday Night Live featured a hilarious clip mocking Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz and Dave Matthews.

“Jason” walks in and “Jack” says “vegan cookies” and asks Jason what he’s been up to.

“Oh, the usual,” Jason says.

“Maintaining my avocado farm,” he added.

Jason’s recipe for chocomole containing chocolate, agave syrup and avocado might be even better than vegan cookies.

Try Jason’s chocomole after watching the clip!

Farm Aid 2009

The Environmental Media Association is celebrating 20 years of encouraging Hollywood to spread the news about going green.

Tonight, a gala is being held as part of a celebration of two decades of greening Hollywood and an awards ceremony to honor individuals who helped increase environmental awareness.

Vegan singer Jason Mraz is on the list for greening his concert tours and using eco friendly textiles.

The AP is reporting some of the other honorees:

“Richard Branson, who pledged to invest all proceeds from his Virgin Airlines toward developing clean fuels and renewable energy; the National Geographic Society, which supports environmental education through various programs and grants; Centropolis Entertainment, the production company led by director Roland Emmerich and producer Michael Wimer that released the first carbon-neutral film in Hollywood history, “The Day After Tomorrow.”

Jason Mraz Gratitude Concert Began With Mystery Vegan Food Bowl

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, October 10th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Farm Aid 2009

Jason Mraz is set to give his gratitude concert tomorrow  October 11 in San Diego, a chance to thank his fans by selling tickets for as little as $1 and spotlight several local charities.

Jason’s tour, the Gratitude Cafe tour, is named after one of his favorite vegan restaurants, but there’s more to the story.

“On the menu they had a `gratitude bowl,’ a food item where you didn’t know what you would get and you could pay 50 cents, $50 or whatever you wanted,” Mraz said. “It was a way to practice generosity and humility, and get a big, hearty bowl of food.”

Mraz’s concert tomorrow was created based on the same theme of giving.

“So, I thought this would be a great way to end the tour and have a ‘gratitude bowl’ (for tickets), where people can pay nothing or as much as they want. People can come out to the venue early with their families and, if they want, check out the local charities we’re working with.”

As expected, the show at the Cricket Wireless Amphitheatre tomorrow is already sold out.

Woody Harrelson Comfort Foods Include Mango, Avocado

Woody Harrelson visits 'The Late Show with David Letterman' in NYC

Woody Harrelson doesn’t find pleasure in mac and cheese, warm cornbread, or any other traditional comfort food.

If the zombies invaded Hollywood much like they did in Zombieland, Woody would be headed for the produce section of the store, not the sweet aisle to find Twinkies like his Zombieland character Tallahassee.

“I’d be searching for a mango,” Woody told New York Times. “Or an avocado. It really is a tough call between the two.”

Avocado?

Maybe Woody should pay Jason Mraz a visit. He, Jason and Olivia Wilde could go crazy on the green fruit.

What’s your comfort food during hard or stressful times, zombies or no zombies peeking through your window?
