Vegetarian Star

“I get really excited about the fact that I can eat an artichoke, place all the leaves into my little bucket, put it into the ground and then it turns into rich soil which then grows my food. I know that might sound weird, but the cycle of life really amazes me.”
—-vegan actress Alicia Silverstone on some of the green things she does around her home, including having a compost bucket in her backyard. The biggest “green” act of all is being vegan of course. If you haven’t watched the video on Meat The Truth, discussing all the nifty facts on how vegetarianism and veganism helps prevent global climate change, you’re missing out.

Oprah has been in the news lately, talking about her weight gain of 40 pounds, saying she’s “embarrassed,” by the situation and “mad at herself.”

In her January issue of “O”, the magazine in which she always appears on the cover, she writes, “I’m mad at myself.  I didn’t just fall off the wagon. I let the wagon fall on me.”

Sounds like she could use the help of some vegan Skinny Bitches!

Someone needs to remind O that a vegan and vegetarian diet is not only healthier, but can help you shed bad fat all while reducing your chances of developing obesity related diseases like diabetes.

She been here before. Last spring, on the advice of author Kathy Freston, Oprah, went vegan for 21 days as part of a detox and cleanse routine.

So come on, O! Take the sunglasses off and stop hiding in shame. Come back over to the veg side!

Not only would Oprah say see ya to the extra 40, but she could finally end years of yo-yo dieting as being vegetarian and vegan is about a lifestyle-not a prescribed formula for eating.

Not to mention she could finally grant Alicia Silverstone her wish and do a naked ad promoting vegetarianism.

Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who’s the greenest of them all?

Vegetarianism and environmentalism go hand in hand. You really can’t discuss being eco-friendly without at least talking about reducing meat consumption.

So it’s no surprise that several known vegetarians as well as some rumored vegetarians have popped up on the Coventry Telegraph list of greenest celebrities.

There’s vegan Thom Yorke of Radiohead, who refused to play in Glastonbury earlier this year, because the city had poor public transportation and he and the band felt that was damaging to the environment.

Vegan Alicia Silverstone has long supported PETA, but also has her own organic vegetable garden in the yard of her solar powered home she shares with her husband.

Natalie Portman attempted to make things greener for shoe fashionistas by starting her own vegan shoe line and donating a portion of the profits to charity. Although Te Casan closed shop, she still leads by example, never failing to let the media know she’s vegan, and filmed a video for National Geographic about how replacing regular light bulbs with energy saving light bulbs would have the environmental impact of taking millions of cars off the road.

Read about what the other celebs that made the list, including Brad Pitt, Leonardo Di Caprio, and Jack Johnson are doing at the Coventry Telegraph.

Following the trends of Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney, a Bollywood actor has decided to put his puppy on a vegetarian diet.

Shahid Kapoor is a vegetarian Bollywood babe who once dated fellow Bollywood babe Karena Kapoor, also vegetarian.

According to Bollywood Celeb Den, a source revealed that, “Shahid has put his doggie on a veg diet. The poor animal is not allowed to eat any sort of meat!” And not even the bone.

While the source may feel sorry for this dog, we know he or she is getting the good stuff! And like Alicia Silverstone’s dogs, he’s probably not farting nearly as much as before. The dog, that is. We can’t speak for Shahid.

Move over skinny bitches. Alicia Silverstone is out to prove Rory Freedman and Kim Barnouin aren’t the only vegan gals who can give advice about weight loss.

Silverstone’s book, “The Kind Diet,” will be published in the fall of 2009. The book aims to show how your diet both affects your feelings of well being and the environment. Included is a 3-Step program to a better you as well as 75 macrobiotic and vegan recipes.

Director of Rodale publishing company, Pam Krauss said, “Just as importantly, she really makes the plant-based foods that are the cornerstone of her diet sound delicious and indulgent, and her enthusiasm for her program is infectious.”

Silverstone is very outspoken about her veganism and has worked with PETA in the past. She’s even gone so far as to put her dogs on a vegan diet. Could a vegan dog treats cookbook be in the works as well?

The terms of the book deal are not yet disclosed, and neither are any of the recipes. We’re hoping Raw Balls make the cut.

Whether you like it or not, people pay attention to celebrities. And that can be a good thing.

A report done by the pet insurer company LV= claims more pet owners are feeding their dog vegetarian diets because celebrities like Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney feed their dogs vegan and vegetarian food.

Silverstone even went to far as to say her dogs don’t pass as much gas now that they’re vegan. If only that worked for people.

Interesting tidbits:

16% of pet owners follow the government nutritional advice for humans. Yep, five servings of fruits and vegetables a day for both you and Barker.

40% of pet owners feed their pets 3 servings of fruits and veggies a day.

The most popular vegetable choices for pets are carrots, followed by potatoes, and lastly peas.

While giving kitty and doggy fresh produce can be good, it’s always best to check with a vet before introducing changes in diet. And kitties are true carnivores-they’ll always need meat with their potatoes.

Bryan Au is a raw vegan food celebrity chef who’s had the opportunity to share some tasty bites many of the meat-free and famous.

His most memorable meal involved Alicia Silverstone and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

“Once Alicia Silverstone picked me up in her Echo Car (a Hybrid car made by Toyota) and she took me to a underground dinner in Hollywood where the Red Hot Chili Peppers showed up and joined us for one of the most delicious and amazing RAW Organic Dinners…one of my most favorite rock groups in the World”

In case you didn’t know, the lead chili pepper, Anthony Kiedis is a vegan and has his own private vegan chef.

And good ol’ Alicia may be a secret vegan chef hiding her skills, as Au says she taught him a lot of things about raw food.

He learned just how he is appreciated by celebrities at Peta’s 25th Anniversary Gala in Paramount Studios in Hollywood. While getting a chance to meet “all the celebrities” he always wanted to, he ran out of treats in his raw food booth he had set up. But luckily for him, there was one last celebrity that stopped by just before the pantry was cleaned out.

“…at least I had some left when Pamela Anderson came by.”

To try what every celebrity couldn’t get enough of, get Raw in Ten Minutes, a cookbook he wrote. Don’t forget to shop at his Raw Online Store for all the kitchen equipment you’ll need for a great uncooked event.
