Vegetarian Star

Ousted Big Brother housemate Victoria Eisermann is fighting back.

The model posed in a pro-vegetarian ad for PETA demonstrating what really should be evicted from everyone’s homes–meat.

Trading lettuce cups for bra cups, Eisermann held a strategically placed sign that read, “Evict Meat. Vote Vegan.”

There’s no male landlord on Earth that would give her a 30-day notice!

Victoria Eisermann was the first guest evicted from the Big Brother home on the UK reality TV series.

Housemates commented on the reasons for her elimination, ranging from the “fact” she had “evil eyes” to having “these silly viewpoints.”

Silly viewpoints? Oooh. Sounds like someone didn’t want to hear a lecture about reducing their meat intake.

Big Brother UK has unveiled the lineup of housemates for the 2012 season.

It’s always interesting to get a vegetarian in the reality TV bunch and this season, Victoria Eisermann may spice up the screen a little more with her quest to win more than the winning title.

“I am secretly trying to turn everyone vegetarian,” Eisermann said, adding that veganism is a “massive thing” in her life, defining both her and her values.

Big Brother is holding its live auditions and it looks as if another veggie could be cast as one of the housemates.

Sam is a 21 year old who lists his occupation as a “graffiti artist” but don’t expect to tag murals of cage-free hens or any other depictions of happier, freer animal life, as he could care less about them.

“I just hate the taste and texture, I don’t care about animals dying”.

Sunshine Martyn revealed on an episode of Big Brother she is not of fan of soybean curd.

After being given tofu, hummus and some other items to suit her vegan diet while her housemates received pizza, she requested a pizza without cheese.

“It’s just that I hate that tofu, it’s horrible. I just didn’t feel part of it because they give me food that needs cooking and they give you pizza. Everything’s getting on top of me and I thought that I’d get a nice piece of food, and then I get a salad.”

Tofu haters who aim to be vegetarian, need not be alarmed. Contrary to the stereotype, vegetarians and vegans get their protein from many sources other than what some think looks and tastes like a make-up sponge.

Lentils, beans, legumes, chickpeas, pasta, seitan, tempeh, nut butters, trail mix, oatmeal, rice, cereals, granola, soy milk, falafel, faux meats…Need more suggstions?

Big Brother‘s vegan housemate Yvette Martyn has a real big brother looking after her.

Gwyn Martyn, a stockbroker, is confident his little sister will get along just fine, despite her dietary restrictions.

“They often have small budgets for food and people don’t often like making separate dishes for vegetarians,” he said, “but she is happy eating pasta, so hopefully she will be okay.”

Pasta’s not the refined starch carbohydrate monster it was labeled by the anti-veggie villains like proponents of low carb and high meat diets. Enriched grain pasta is not only low in sodium, it’s a great source of protein for vegetarians and provides a fantastic energy boost with its complex carbohydrates that are released slowly over time.

Big Brother 11 has just started and the vegan in the bunch is already encountering resistance.

Yvette, the medical student who prefers her stripper-like name of Sunshine, immediately has realized there are no good vegan food options and requested a talk with Big Brother in the Diary Room, where all the contestants spill their hearts out over what they need to survive with the other weirdos in the house.

At first, Big Brother denied Sunshine from entering.

Was he/she not ready to listen to the list of soy milk, seaweed and tofu requests?

After some time, Sunshine finally talks to Big Brother to voice her concerns and she is even making updates to the grocery list to include items she can sustain on.

So far, so good. More updates to come.

Reality TV can be tough on a veggie, but one Big Brother contestant is hoping to beat her odds of being forced to consume either mushrooms or sardines everyday to survive, as she’s secured a place in the home for the UK television show’s final cycle.

Yvette is a medical student who likes to be called “Sunshine” and who’s taking a year off to do more studying–in the area of medical journalism.

Although it may be joking, the Daily Mail said her self-described diet was one of “crisps and bread.”

Here’s hoping the med student will give herself better orders and eat a more rounded diet than starch, at least when she finishes her Big Brother stint. Who knows? Maybe the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine could use another veggie minded doc on their team as they educate the public on the benefits of a plant based diet in preventing common medical problems like diabetes and heart failure.
