Vegetarian Star

Everybody’s favorite “Vegetarian Hippie Chick” in race car driving has teamed up with a company that produces eco friendly t-shirts to produce her racing merchandise.

Leilani Munter will be driving the Firestone Indy Lights car at the season finale at Chicagoland Speedway on August 29.

Ecobabble has signed up to be one of Leilani’s partners in her quest to make race car driving more environmentally friendly.

A recycle bin will be placed in Leilani’s pit at the track for fans to place their soda and water bottles, which Ecobabble will use to manufacture 50/50 cotton/polyester t-shirts.

“I am excited to be working with Ecobabble to offer eco friendly merchandise,” said Leilani, “And I’d also like to thank Chicagoland Speedway for allowing me to have a recycle bin in my pit. Together we are teaming up to help make a greener world and I am just proud to be a part of it.”

Cool fact: It takes 5 plastic bottles to make one t-shirt.

If you started saving your cola bottles, you might never need to shop at The Gap again.

Do you tune into The Secret Life of the American Teenager?

If so, you might have caught Montell Williams’ daughter, Wyntergrace Williams, in a primetime ad meant to urge Congress to ensure vegetarian options are always available in school lunches.

Wyntergrace is now giving dad a run for his daytime talk show money!

The campaign brought to you by the folks at the Physicians’ Committee For Responsible Medicine, is an effort to get changes made to the Child Nutrition Act, which sets the standards for school lunches.

Other vegetarian names like actor Tobey Maguire and Twitter co-founder Biz Stone have lobbied Congress for these changes as well.

Michelle Forbes plays the villainous character Maryann Forrester on HBO’s True Blood.

Forbes’ character may do some barbaric things on the show, but according to Forbes, it’s just based on the “moral construct” of her group.

In other words, everybody’s cool with it!

Forbes, a vegetarian, used this example to explain how she can’t believe people are still eating animals, because based on her moral code, they shouldn’t be.

From blackbookmag.com:

“I do believe that she’s a character that’s all about perspective. If you think that this is an immortal being. She’s been around since the beginning of time. She’s lived in certain periods of our humanity, where there were people who would sit and watch other men tear each other apart for sport. Children were sacrificed. It’s not unheard of in history. In her mind, she’s seen it all. I think what’s great about the storyline is that it challenges our belief system. You and I can sit here in 2009 and say it’s outrageous that someone would sacrifice humans. My belief system, as a vegetarian, can’t believe that animals are being sacrificed. I stand by that in Maryann’s mind, there’s nothing malevolent. She has a different way of looking at the world.”

Elizabeth Berkley was spotted at Real Food Daily in LA taking up two tables.

Apparently Elizabeth had lots of books with her that day as she had her dinner.

Maybe she thought her meal would take a really, really, really long time to cook.

At vegan restaurant Real Food Daily, Elizabeth doesn’t have to worry about leaving her business card that urges restaurants to add more veg food to the menu.

Wonder if she’s switched to leaving entire books instead?

A hilarious video has made it’s way to the Funny or Die series.

Andy Dick dressed up as Ronald McDonald (complete with cleaver he brought with him) gets interviewed by Martin Short’s Jiminey Glick.

The video was created as part of the campaign to pressure McDonald’s to discontinue its methods of killing and move to a more humane version-Controlled Atmosphere Killing.

Watch the video and go to the website to vote cause this one’s too funny, yet too serious as well, to die.

So yesterday we gave a short notice to remind everyone to tune into the Food Network channel for the new Brian Boitano cooking show, What Would Brian Boitano Make?

Brian had told Mother Nature Network he prefers following a near vegetarian diet to be more eco-friendly.

However, for the first episode, we’re going to be that nasty ice skating judge that gives the 6 when everyone else gives a 9.9. Here’s why.

Brian opened up going gaga over a crab meat appetizer. Sure, there were vegetables mixed with it, but we would have preferred a bean spread.

His next dish was a little more promising-sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese skewers. This doesn’t please the vegans, but at least his left flesh off the stick.

Finally, he almost impaired our judgement when he announced his last dish for the day was polenta with spicy sausage and red peppers.

For someone who follows a “mostly vegetarian” diet, Boitano seemed a little off course for the day.

Hopefully, he won’t make the show a Gwyneth Paltrow, “I say I eat mostly vegetarian but show meaty dishes in my public projects” kind of thing.

Take a good look, folks.

It may be a dozen burger joints before you see something like this again.

Barack “Burger Boy” Obama was photographed eating a nectarine at Kroger’s after a town hall meeting in Virginia.

Is he taking Whole Foods CEO John Mackey’s advice and setting an example for health care?

After all the cow meat rendezvous ( Ray Hell’s, Five Guys, steak at his White House pad), it’s refreshing to see Mr. President making a great example by munching on something healthy.

From his facial expression, it almost looks as if he’s on some top secret mission to eat the apricot, though.

Are there Secret Service men hiding underneath the plums?

Is he thinking of switching the signs to get a better deal on those $2.99 limes?

No, stop it… Don’t make fun of the pres. Only reward him for the good behavior!
