Vegetarian Star

Our ears should be ringing off the hook now, because someone’s been talking about us!

Cleveland Vegetarian Examiner Kaitlin Miller wrote up a post on Vegetarian Star she titled, “Has Perez Hilton landed a vegetarian site? Not Quite!”

Kaitlin was humorously referring to who’s basically the founder of gossip websites, Mario Armando Lavandeira, better know as Perez Hilton.com.

“Vegetarianstar.com is a celebrity gossip site very closely mocking Perez Hilton’s popular trash-talking yet humorous blog, except that it is strictly relating to vegetarianism. Fans can track a plethora of different categories, submit polls, comment on photos, articles, and breaking news, and browse around for the newest gossip.”

“Eye-catching headlines that contain big Hollywood names are attracting viewers worldwide, like “Heather Mills Making Vegan Dog Food,” or “Jimmy Kimmel Does The Raunchy Tofu on Late Night Television.” I don’t know about you, but seeing the words “raunchy” and “tofu” together definitely intrigues me.”

Yeah, tofu does it for us, too Kaitlin.

Sorry to disappoint those who thought this was a post talking about Perez Hilton getting his raunchy on with tofu. But when he does…you better believe we’ll be telling you about it.

Besides the whole Freedom of Speech thing, NYC, and baseball, name some great things about the United States of America.

Add Leilani Munter to your list, as the vegetarian race car driver who races with divisions of both NASCAR and IndyCar has made Reader’s Digest’s 10 Reasons to Love Our Country.

“Münter, 33, who’s both a stock-car and open-wheel driver, has made it her mission to “green” big-time auto racing—which, at 100 million strong, may have the most enthusiastic fan base on the planet. Her goals: renewable biofuels and recycled tires for the cars and recycling programs at the tracks. For doubters, she has a message: “Never underestimate a vegetarian hippie chick with a race car.””

Leilani consistently delivers her message as an environmentalist through public speaking engagements, interviews, and her website, carbonfreegirl.com.

Not to mention she’s lightening her carbon footprint every time she sits down at the dinner table and consumes a plant based meal.

“The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world,” she said, “are the ones who end up doing it.”

What can we say? We love those crazy girls.

Heather Mills put on her overalls and picked up a bucket of paint this weekend to scrub and decorate the walls of her new vegan restaurant, V Bites, that will open July 4 in the UK.

She was accompanied by daughter with former husband Paul McCartney, Beatrice, as well as some friends.

Heather is taking quite an active role in V Bites. Besides scrubbing and painting the exteriors, she’ll also be a regular chef on Sundays, cooking her favorite veg dishes of roast potatoes, parsnips, and veggie gravy.

Heather said what will shock people the most is that the faux meats taste just like the real thing.

We shall see!

The year was 1983 and newly vegetarian Michael Jackson had wandered into The Golden Temple restaurant, where he was a regular.

Although Michael had no children of his own yet, he was extremely interested in learning how the mother’s vegetarian diet would affect pregnancy and the outcome of the baby.

He met David Wallechinsky, now editor-in-chief at Allgov.com, who’s wife was pregnant and the two engaged in conversation and kept in touch so Michael could see the beautiful and healthy child born to a vegetarian mother and learn what it was like to be father.

Although some otherwise vegetarian woman say they experienced strange meat cravings during pregnancy, the truth is, nutritionists and doctors say vegetarian and vegan pregnancies can be completely healthy.

For some great examples of how to get all your nutrition on a veg diet when you’re expecting, visit Physician’s Committee For Responsible Medicine’s page on Vegetarian Diets For Pregnancy.

Several vegetarian and vegan hip hop stars will be making guest appearances in the film, In Pursuit Of A Green Planet, a documentary on food choice, health, and the planet.

In the film, Keith Tucker travels the country on a Greyhound bus powered by recycled vegetable oil while he makes the transition from eating the average American diet to a totally organic, vegan one.

Tucker brings along some adolescents who are already experiencing diet related health problems and are at a crucial point to change their lives forever. Not only do the kids get lessons in making themselves and the planet healthier, they get the privilege of meeting some awesome veggie hip hop stars along the way, like Saul Williams, Persia White, Justin Bua, Stic Man, and KRS One.

According to hiphoppress.com:

“The goal of the “Pursuit of a Green Planet” documentary is to take an inside look at how the food we eat affects our health and tie healthy living back to the origins of Hip Hop. As Hip Hop was a pioneering art form for the urban community looking for a better life in the late 70s, “Pursuit of a Green Planet” brings those ideals full circle by incorporating Hip Hop into the Green Movement.”

Bif Naked was the perfect picture of health.

A raw food vegan who worked out regularly and unlike some in the entertainment industry, shunned drugs and alcohol.

Her clean lifestyle didn’t stop cancer from creeping into her life. But that doesn’t mean she wasn’t doing something right or that she should let her health go to hell because of it.

“You know, I lived a pretty clean lifestyle — no booze and no meat and all that — and I still got breast cancer,” she said in an interview. “After that, I had girlfriends come up to me and say, ‘Wow, I’m having a f—ing drink.’ And I went, ‘Great, knock yourself out.’… I still eat exactly the way I did, and don’t drink. Something like this is not a reason to mistreat your body.”

But if ” Mrs.” Swirly is already married…uh-oh.

Heather Mills will be serving a vegan soft serve ice cream at her V Bites restaurant, which opens July 4.

The vegan treat, called Mrs. Swirly, is meant to imitate the famous Mister Whippy variety. Heather came up with the idea after her daughter, Beatrice, had to miss out on ice cream while surrounded by other kids.

“When we were out I’d notice other kids got an ice cream and my daughter Beatrice would just get a fruit lolly and I thought I’ve got to do something.”

If you’re like most vegans who crave sweets, you love to get your ice cream on as often as possible.

But if you don’t live in the UK near Heather’s restaurant, there are plenty of store bought varieties to satisfy your dairyless craving from Chicago Soy Dairy’s Temptation brands to Turtle Mountain’s So Delicious to Rice Dream.

The current recipe entry in Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop newsletter features a vegan B.L.T., or BLAT (Bacon Lettuce Avocado and Tomato) complete with her favorite mayonnaise substitute, Vegenaise.

Gwyneth says it best in the introduction to the recipe:

“This MAKE is for my no-dairy, no-meat, no-white flour (if you omit the croutons) loving friends who are looking for a quick, casual summer lunch. Proof that vegan food rocks!”

Yes, girlfriend, this sandwich does rock, and there’s a beautiful food porn picture of the stacked vegan goodness at Goop.com.

Gwyneth compliments that BLAT entry with un-Caesar salad-Caesar salad minus egg yolks and anchovies-and homemade rosemary and thyme croutons.

It’s all washed down with agave sweetened lemonade.

The best thing about veggie bacon is that it’s missing all the fatty sections that regular bacon has in it, so you get more “meat” in your bite. A good brand to check out is Lightlife Smart Bacon.
