It’s the journal’s musician edition, and several other veg-friendly artists have interviews in the magazine, including Moby, Ziggy Marley and Adam Levine.

Alanis tells the Journal, “I wanted to find a practice that was both physical and spiritual. Yoga was perfect for that. I felt like I was born to do yoga.”

500 Vegan Recipes

Alanis Morissette has put a photo of her latest favorite cookbook on Twitter.

500 Vegan Recipes: An Amazing Variety of Delicious Recipes, from Chilis and Casseroles to Crumbles, Crisps, and Cookies is just of the vegan books that have changed Alanis’ life.

It was a copy of Dr. Joel Fuhrman‘s Eat to Live that prompted her to go vegan.

Not wanting another fad diet, she was motivated by preventing disease and loss weight was an added consequence.

She now fills her plate with foods like fruit, nuts, collards, kale, and spinach.

Once again, the Juno Awards dinner gala will please the likes of Canadian musicians who refrain from eating meat.

This year’s vegetarian option includes herbed risotto stuffed peppers, grilled vegetables and roasted garlic pesto.

Last year, vegetarian Alanis Morissette won an award.

The executive chef in charge of the 2009 gala estimated the guests would eat around “100 pounds of greens.”

This year’s Juno festivities take place April 12-18.

There are numerous reasons why people are including more unprocessed foods in their diets, including the fact these foods are a cheaper, healthier and more gentle on the environment and animals.

But could Alicia Silverstone‘s cookbook The Kind Diet, Ellen Degeneres offering her recipe for vegan tacos and Alanis Morissette talking about kale have an effect on how the grocery budget is spent in the next few years?

Says a statement from prweb:

“Celebrities and sports figures are defining the trend. Well-known stars and musicians, including Ellen DeGeneres, Alicia Silverstone, Alanis Morissette, and Moby share their plant-based dietary choices. Athletes on a whole foods diet have a performance edge without steroids. A sampling of athletes sticking to a diet based on whole foods includes Brendan Brazier, ultra marathon champion, Ruth Heidrich, triathlete with over 900 wins, Pat Neshek, Minnesota Twins pitcher, and Salim Stoudamire, Atlanta Hawk’s shooting guard.”

Has a famous veggie influenced the way you cook at home?

Or is learning the Prince Fielder bats like a vegan news to you?

Interview Magazine has named its pick for the 20 most beautiful people of the decade.

It was no doubt a tough decision, requiring committees of scientists, academics, legal experts and laypersons, but somehow Interview came to the conclusion that Natalie Portman is worthy of the title.

The Veg Star couldn’t agree more!

From Interviewmagazine.com:

“We’ve had her on our radar since she was the 12-year-old Lolita of The Professional. And somehow, her beauty has grown and grown over the past decade. Now 28, she’s won a Golden Globe, earned a psychology degree from Harvard, devoted her free time to social and political activism, and looked better than Demi with a shaved head. She’s even a vegan. Enough, really.”

Being vegan is great for your health, the planet and the animals, but can it really make you sexier?

Both Alanis Morissette and Woody Harrelson credit cutting dairy for making their skin smooth and Alicia Silverstone‘s beauty regime includes eating kale and swiss chard as much as daily moisturizing.

This New Year’s might be a great time to make the resolution to give veg a try.

Good luck on making People’s 50 Most Beautiful.

Alanis Morissette has confessed to some serious kale addiction.

Maybe she and Kristen Bell should get together more often.

The singer who calls herself “90% vegan” said, “I eat kale salad. I put kale in my smoothies, kale in my soup. Kale, kale, kale! I feel like Popeye. I love it. I definitely need variety or I get super bored, so I have to mix it up with different sauces and tahini or whatever.”

That explains why one of her most recent parties was hooking up with vegetarian author Anna Thomas and digging her fingers through the fresh vegetable.

Alanis is currently training for the Biz Johnson marathon, which she says isn’t hurt at all by her vegan friendly diet.

“I think veganism is really well suited for training, at least for me anyway.”

Alanis is featured in the January 2010 issue of Runner’s World.
