Vegetarian Star

Call it the “brownest” celebrity edition. In honor of Earth Day, Foxnews wrote an article on celebrities who’ve had less than green moments and two of our favorite veggie celebs, Woody Harrelson and Paul McCartney were on the list. Woody had clothing flown from California to France and Paul had his car flown from Japan. So between the two eco bad boys, who would you rather do…?

Foxnews.com has compiled a list of celebrities who have proven to be less than green on some occasions. A couple of vegheads made the hall of shame.

Like Woody Harrelson, for example. The actor who swears by the solar panel had an attachment to some clothing worst than Linus and his blanket. He had his favorite vegan shoes and belt flown from his California home to the Cannes Film Festival in France. Yeah, that’s so eco-friendly. NOT.

Then there’s our man Paul McCartney. If you think it’s fuel inefficient to fly shoes and a belt, think about carrying a car through the friendly skies.

“He even bought a hybrid vehicle to cut down on his personal footprint. But the ex-Beatle made just one minor misstep. He had the car specially flown from Japan, creating more emissions with one flight than the car will ever save in its lifetime. Nice try, Paul.”

But at least these guys have offset their eco-sins with a veg diet. The remaining celebrities on the hall of shame can’t take that credit.

Visit Foxnews.com to read about the eco-sins of Celine Dion, John Travolta, Elizabeth Hurley, David Beckham, Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Tom Cruise.

So what’cha what’cha what’cha want? Some raw vegan food!

When Mike Diamond, aka Mike D of hip hop group, the Beastie Boys, wanted delicious raw food prepared for him, he called on his personal chef Aaron Ash.

Aaron thought that if celebrities like members of the Beastie Boys liked vegan, raw foods so much, surely regular people would too. So he opened Gorilla Foods, a raw food/vegan/organic cafe in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Some in the US often joke about “moving to Canada” for various reasons, including the healthcare system, but hey, here’s reason #1 in our opinion.

The menu consists of vegan pizza with walnut “cheez,” Cashew Alfredo Zucchini Linguini with zucchini “Newdles” and cashew cream, and a vegan dessert menu that’s longer than the salad one. Finally!

And everything’s done without a stove top or oven.

A reviewer from the Vancouver Sun had this to say about the experience:

“When I had lunch there on a recent Saturday, I left feeling like I’d just had a refreshing shower. Raw food does that. When you think of it, it’s like salad tricked out in costume. The menu masquerades in straight-ahead offerings – pizzas, veggie burger, falafal, taco, linguini, wraps, salads, an assortment of desserts including carrot cake and cookies, juices, smoothies and shakes.”

When actor and raw foodie Woodie Harrelson is in town, Ash caters for him as well.

Yeah, you can’t front on that!

But Gwyneth Paltrow did too, so we’re not sure how much of a compliment this is to newly vegan Ellen.

Parade Magazine has compiled a slide show of celebrity vegetarians and vegan Ellen DeGeneres made the meatless cut.

Before Ellen even turned vegan she was huge supporter of animal issues, such as Prop 2. She also recommends eating organic and local.

Other celebrities featured include honeymooner Woody Harrelson, Paul McCartney, and Alicia Silverstone.

Some of Parade’s readers think the list doesn’t best represent Hollywood’s vegetarians, and notables like vegan Natalie Portman are absent.

Even Gwyneth Paltrow is still winning veggie trophies, much to some readers’ dismay. As one person commented on the site:

Gwyneth Paltrow is not a vegetarian. What vegetarian would discuss cooking a turkey on Thanksgiving?! Which she did on her website.

Ah, nothing quite like the truth.

View the other celebrities and see if your favorite has been left out.

Someone involved with the making of Seven Pounds must have a freezer stocked with Boca Burgers.

The movie starring Will Smith, about a man who dramatically changes the lives of seven people, has more vegetarian themes in 1 hour and 58 minutes than you’ll probably see at a granola bar serving hippie fest.

First there’s Ezra Turner, played by Woody Harrelson, who sells frozen steak over the phone, but doesn’t eat his own products. Wonder if any real life meat purveyors follow this rule as well?

Then there’s Rosario Dawson’s character, Emily Posa, who’s not only a vegetarian, but insists her dog be one as well.

Finally, there’s a scene where the word “vegan” is prominently displayed on a hospital chalkboard.

Mere coincidence? Subliminal veggie propaganda? Watch the video below for the scene where Emily explains to Will Smith’s character Ben Thomas her dog is vegetarian. If you can’t view the video, head over to Trailer Addict for other viewing options.

Woody Harrelson has always been supportive of eco-friendly initiatives. He once climbed the Golden Gate bridge to protest forest destruction and drives around in a VW Beetle that runs on biodiesel.

Although he is a vegan and raw foodist, he’s not the only one into a healthy lifestyle. His wife, Laura Louie, is his former assistant and a co-founder of Yoganics, an organic food delivery service.

They live in a neighborhood with their three children where everybody does it solar style. “Everybody in the neighbourhood is on solar power,” he said in an interview. “People get the concept that it’s like a commune, but this was a neighbourhood that’s been there long before I got there, and they just never wanted power lines.”
