Vegetarian Star

A vegetarian will play a vampire in the third installment of the Twilight series, Eclipse, but not one of the “vegetarian” vampires.

Bryce Dallas Howard has been cast as Victoria (previously played by Rachelle Lefevre), a mean-spirited vampire who’s out to get Bella.

Howard was inspired to go vegan by Joaquin Phoenix, but went back to vegetarian during her pregnancy.

Eclipse is scheduled to begin filming in August.

The Twilight films are based on a novel series by author Stephenie Meyer, and feature the Cullen family, a clan of “vegetarian” vampires who feast on animals instead of people.

One of the main characters and love interest of vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen, Bella (Kristen Stewart), is a real vegetarian who likes Gardenburgers.

With all the bad publicity Barack Obama has gained in the eyes of vegetarians because of  his burger joint hopping habit, the President of the United States now has a chance to redeem himself.

People for the Ethical Treatments of Animals (PETA) has asked Obama to go vegetarian for one day of the week by participating in Meat Free Mondays.

In a letter written to the president, PETA’s president and co-founder Ingrid Newkirk illustrates how former president Harry Truman called on people to refrain from eating meat on Tuesdays and poultry on Thursdays to help save grain and feed the hungry in Europe.

Now, Obama has the opportunity to help both people and the planet by initiating a similar program at the White House.

“Sir Paul McCartney is in town this weekend and has launched an initiative called “Meat-Free Mondays” to help stave off climate change, lessen the suffering of animals, and promote a diet healthier than the artery-clogging, obesity-inducing one that is a major cause of the soaring health-care costs and worker absenteeism in this country.”

“If you institute this program in the White House, it will be a giant step forward in transforming it to a green house, and it will set a wonderful example for people nationwide-or worldwide-who look to you for leadership when it comes to a kinder, environmentally friendlier, and more health-conscious approach to life.”

According to the USDA, the average American farmer is 55 years of age or older.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t youngins out there.

And hot ones at that!

Jason Mraz is featured in Mother Nature Network’s “40 Farmers Under 40,” great profiles of young, rosy cheeked agrarians who might take the ipod filled with Greenday and Coldplay with them to the field to harvest crops.

The 32 year old raw vegan singer-songwriter has an avocado garden, which sits on five acres in San Diego, California.

Jason eats his share of 2-4 avocados a day and if you recall us telling you, created a dessert made with avocados and chocolate, the chocomole.

“I do sell my avocados,” Jason told CNN last year. “I mean, they don’t have a sticker on them that say that these are from the Mraz Farms, but I moved into an area that all of us are avocado farmers.”

Visit mnn.com to read who the other 39 farmers under 40 are, which include contributors to noted publications such as the Huffington Post and grist.org and an actor in a Peabody-award winning film.

Writer, producer, and actor Mike White, who’s film credits include Nacho Libre and School of Rock, has recorded a brand spanking new vegetarian testimonial.

Mike’s “piggy-looking” dog is one of the reasons he decided to stop eating meat and become vegan.

“I would look at him and I’d think, ‘You know, I cannot eat pig anymore’. And besides is my dog really all that different from a pig on a factory farm? They both have their own lives and big personalities and most importantly, the same capacity to feel pain.”

Watch the clip above to hear the PSA from the former Amazing Race contestant.

“Vegans are all coke-sniffing, cigarette-smoking faux socialists who listen to music that has no melody at all, so f*ck them.”
—Roseanne Barr, in an interview with Heeb magazine.

As if the comment from Christy Turlington wasn’t enough. This must be the week for veg hatin’.

We’re hurt, rejected, and disappointed.

Please excuse us while we go listen to some crappy melodic-less music to feel better.

Tis the season for vegan on Top Chef.

Although that dreadful Hardee’s Thickburger commercial star Padma Lakshmi still hangs around cheering for steak, more vegan moments are occurring on the Bravo Network Reality TV series.

We already know vegan actress Natalie Portman will be popping in sometime.

And next week, actress and singer Zooey Deschanel will make an appearance.

The chef contestants will have the challenge of preparing a meal for Zooey and her friends.

Not only must the chefs make a vegan meal, it needs to fit Zooey’s dietary restrictions of gluten-intolerance and no soy.

Watch Zooey send a special message to the chefs, prepping them for the competition.

When Kal Penn and co-star John Cho finally made it to White Castle in the first of the Harold and Kumar series, Kal chowed down on vegetarian “White Castle burgers” specially prepared for him.

Have you ever wondered what goes into those beautiful food scenes on television? How does a vegan actress appear to be eating turkey, when it’s really made of soybeans?

The New York Times has the lowdown on several grub events that took place in Hollywood film, and what went on behind the scenes so the actors could munch smoothly.

In the 2008 film, Pride and Glory, for example, three of the actresses were vegetarian or vegan, including Lake Bell.

Ruth DiPasquale, an assistant property master for the film, called a vegan chef to help create a Christmas dinner scene with ham as the centrepiece. Bell and the other veg actresses ate pieces of “sham ham.”

Says the New York Times:

“She ended up piling slices of sham ham made from soybeans near the real stuff, careful to make sure the two versions never touched.”
