Vegetarian Star

A future episode of Bones is set to highlight factory farming.

The Tough Man In The Tender Chicken, which airs Thursday November 5, has Emily Deschanel‘s character Dr. Temperance Brennan and her crime fighting partner Booth discovering the remains of a local farmer set to inherit a chicken factory farm that’s been aggressively protested for inhumane conditions and animal cruelty.

In addition, facial reconstruction lab worker Angela, played by Michaela Conlin, is bothered by the farm’s practices and decides to launch an animal rights campaign of her own.

Has Angela also given up chicken and other meat?

For all you Twinkie eating Tallahassee wannabes, here’s the scoop on Woody Harrelson‘s wardrobe on the Zombieland set.

Woody the raw vegan is all into eco friendly and sustainable, so of course his clothing on the movie had to be too.

According to Magali Guidasci, costume designer for the set, “all woody’s wardrobe from head to toe, even though it does not look like for his character purpose, was made our outsourced VEGAN whenever possible organic, or natural fiber or recycle material.”

Take Woody’s hat, jeans and boots, for example.

Woody Hat:
Repurposed Tarp Raw made by The Raw Deal. Sizes come in small-XX Large and are priced for around $29.

Woody Jeans:
Organic, sustainable jeans made by Of The Earth. Besides jeans, the company also offers knit tops, hoodies, shirts and sweaters for men, women and children.

Woody Boots
Vegan boots were brought to you by Vegan Wares. All Vegan Ware boots, according to the company website, are  made with Lorica synthetic leather.

Now grab the vegan Twinkie recipe and start taking on those zombies!

Like almost mother-in-law like son.

Levi Johnston, the ex and baby daddy of 2008 vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin‘s daughter Bristol Palin‘s child, has just admitted to gobbling up Morris.

To bring sexy back for his upcoming nude photos for Playgirl (yes, we know you’re running to the stands right now), Levi has been eating lots of meat, specifically Moose meat.

“Moose meat is very good for you, high in protein and very lean,” says Levi’s trainer, Marvin Jones. “He’s an avid hunter, so he has his own.”

What Marvin the trainer doesn’t know is that there are plenty of athletes that get bulky, ripped and ready to go on a vegetarian and even vegan diet.

Moose meat may only let Levi sit naked (or is it nekkid in Alaska) in front of the camera, but the complete protein of soy and high protein plant foods like tempeh could give him the strength and endurance of a triathlete like Brandon Brazier.

Boo to moose meat.

Boo to meaty diets as an attempt to look athletic.

We’ll wait for the centerfold to come out before we boo Levi’s body.

Normally you’d never see McDonald’s get any love from a vegetarian website, but this is something worth giving a second glance.

McDonald’s in India, where much of the population is Hindu, normally doesn’t serve beef, but vegetarian and chicken options instead.

One such sandwich that’s popular is the McAloo Tikki, a fried breaded potato and peas patty, that can be cooked in a separate kitchen from the meat items, like all vegetarian fare at the franchises in the country can.

McAloo Tikki just happens to be the highest grossing item at the franchises in India.

Now, if only we can convince them to cut the chicken from the menu as well.

Then, we’d really be lovin’ it!

The annual VegNews Veggie Awards winners will be announced in the November/December holiday issue of the magazine coming out any day now.

Green gossip website Ecorazzi.com was able to get a sneak peek at this year’s winners and Ellen DeGeneres was chosen as favorite vegetarian celebrity by VegNews readers.

Ecorazzi’s take:

“We called this one back in June in our Top 5 Vegan Celebrities of 2009 — which was odd, because the year was only half-over and it would have been pretty embarrassing if she’d started taking diet tips from Hillary Swank.”

Will Ellen celebrate the award with a bellyful of her favorite vegan tacos?

View some of the other winners at Ecorazzi.com and find out which categories Twitter founder Biz Stone and actress/author Alicia Silverstone won.
