Vegetarian Star

Brothers and Sisters star Sarah Jane Morris tries to live a green life, but admits there’s one eco sin she can’t stop committing.

“My biggest eco-sin is probably the fact that I’m not a vegetarian,” Morris said, according to celebrity-babies.com.

“We do try to have “Meatless Monday” where my husband and I eat vegetarian all day, but since I’ve been pregnant, I’m ashamed to say, that rule has sort of gone out the window!”

“I know that raising livestock is one of the worst things for our environment, but I think the problem isn’t that we eat meat, it’s that we eat so much.”

“A steak used to be considered a luxury, something you had for special occasions, now, in America especially, you can get meat for so cheap that people almost expect it at every meal.”

“We don’t need to eat that much meat, and in fact we’d all be healthier if we didn’t.”

“That being said, I love bacon and filets, and all that good stuff, I just try to think of it as a luxury more than a necessity.”

At least Sarah’s honest, not pretending that all the Priuses she could own and recycling in the world isn’t nearly as beneficial on the earth compared to switching to a plant based diet.

Sarah is expecting a baby boy in January.

Woody Harrelson is set to receive an honorary doctorate from York University this Saturday for his environmental activism.

“It’s not always the usual suspects that need to be uncovered and recognized,” said Dawn Bazely, a biology professor who helped nominate Woody and learned about his environmental efforts after watching Go Further, a 2003 film featuring Woody taking a biofueled road trip to spread the eco friendly news.

During his interview with the Tornonto Star, Woody touched a bit on his veganism.

Q: What’s your biggest challenge as a raw-food vegan?

A: Sitting at a restaurant that’s not vegan and trying to explain I can’t have any dairy or butter without annoying the s— out of everybody at the table.

Woody admits he wasn’t into the green scene in college, but became interested in the late 80s and early 90s.

Although we’re saddened we can’t spread the gossip that Taylor Momsen is still vegetarian, at least we can bring you the news she still doesn’t eat red meat.

At the recent Whitney Museum Gala at the Whitney Museum of American Art, Taylor discussed how she’s trying to combat the flu season this year with lots of veggies.

“I eat really healthy and I work out,” Taylor said. “I dance and go to the gym a little bit here and there.”

Last year, Taylor was a victim of the flu bug while working on the set of Gossip Girl.

Many veg foods like garlic, citrus and yogurt with probiotics have been suggested to strengthen your immune system and help fight the flu.

The Kind Diet

All this week, we’re hosting a giveaway and three of our lucky readers will receive a free copy of Alicia Silverstone’s new vegan diet and lifestyle book, The Kind Diet.

Every day until the end of the contest, we’re bringing you a few of Alicia’s thoughts on The Kind Diet, with a reminder to leave a comment to enter to win.

Today, Alicia explains how The Kind Diet is different from other diets.

“The Kind Diet doesn’t ask people to freak out about calories, carbs or the glycemic index. It will change their relationship with food and their bodies, transforming the whole idea of dieting for them while helping them to lose weight easily, attain glowing skin, increased energy & strength, as well as a more-efficient immune system. The bottom line is–the food we choose is not the only factor in our health and well-being, but it’s definitely one of the most important—and, luckily, it’s one we have control over.”

And with recipes like “Waffle, Sausage, and Cheese Panini” who said anything about a “diet?”

Enter to win The Kind Diet today.

Mayim Bialik is a green mommy, making her own shampoo, cleaning and granola products for her family.

In a recent interview with the Sierra Club, Mayim discussed how life on the screen has become more environmentally friendly as well.

“Blossom ended when I was 19. Things are a lot different now. Recycling is a standard part of everyone’s vocabulary, which is significant because of the amount of scripts. The beauty products used aren’t tested on animals and are gentler on the environment. Green practices are becoming a much more accepted line of conversation. I don’t wear leather and that’s something easier to address now.”

Poker playing champion Daniel Negreanu takes a little humorous heat from his buddies every now and then for his herbivore diet, as he described during a recent blog entry at cardplayer.com:

“After dinner we all went to my house to do a golf pool for the tournament. Then, Erick went after my books again. I have boxes of my book at home that are there for me to sign and he likes to mess with them, writing messages on random pages. He’ll write “I hit the ball like a vegan, signed Daniel Negreanu” or other equally stupid stuff.”

Considering this vegan since 2003 has several poker accomplishments under his belt, we’d saying hitting the ball like a veg ain’t a bad thing at all.

Keep workin’ the vegan chips, Daniel!

First he played the role of dog dumper, now Jon Gosselin‘s been spotted using the controversial horse-carriage attraction to impress his lady friend Hailey Glassman.

After PETA got word of Jon riding the wild horses, they sent him a letter reminding him of the dangers involved with such an industry, not to mention the cruelties of the tourist attraction to the horses.

“Horse-drawn carriages cause countless traffic accidents that injure both horses and people, and veterinarians have shown that the horses contract lung disease from working every day in city traffic with their noses near exhaust-spewing tailpipes. The damage to horses’ lungs is comparable to what heavy smokers experience. Horses are forced to pull carriages in all weather extremes, and many of them go lame from constantly walking on hard pavement (their hooves were designed for grass and dirt). When they grow too old, tired, or ill to continue pulling heavy loads, many worn-out horses are slaughtered and turned into dog food or feed for carnivores in zoos or are shipped overseas for human consumption.”
