Vegetarian Star

2012 saw a lot of awesome vegetarians, vegans and plant-loving people make headlines.

Here are a few of Vegetarian Star’s favorite.

#5. Vegetarian Olympics.
The 2012 London games made America proud with plant-based eaters like Mary Whipple and Dotsie Bausch who shared their medal-winning veggie meals with the media. And UK based Fry’s fed fans and athletes with their delicious meatless items like vegetarian mince meat. Go team VEG!

#4. Vegetarian journalist Candy Crowley moderates presidential debate.
The first female to do so in 20 years. Maybe the first vegetarian ever.

#3. Hell’s Kitchen competitor opens vegetarian sushi restaurant.
Reality TV isn’t always nice to vegetarians, but reality business may be as Guy Vaknin‘s Beyond Sushi shows what you can do with a roll of seaweed beyond Flipper.

Candy Crowley is set to be the first female moderator of a presidential debate in 20 years.

The CNN State of the Union television show host is a conservative who’s been covering campaigns for years, including George H.W. Bush’s.

Crowley is a vegetarian who made the switch while on the campaign trail covering for the former president.

“I was on the campaign trail covering George H.W. Bush and grabbed a bite to eat at a little restaurant down South,” Crowley told Rachael Ray. “I ordered venison, but there was just something about how the meat looked. That was the last piece I ever put in my mouth. I’ve been vegetarian ever since.”

Candy Crowley

Candy Crowley is a CNN political correspondent and anchor of State of the Union with Candy Crowley.

Her last meat consumption took place during coverage of George H.W. Bush’s election campaign. She ate a piece of venison from a Southern restaurant, said there was “just something about how the meat looked” and never ate animal flesh again.

Crowley has an interview with Vegetarian Times in the January/February 2011 issue, where she discussed the impact of politics on food, such as Michelle Obama‘s push for healthier school lunches.

“I can’t see meat eating going out of style, but over time, things do change. I just came across a great story about a guy who sets up farmers’ markets in inner cities. You find all these mothers thrilled to have something accessible and good to eat.”

A clip showing Crowley during State of the Union can be viewed below.
