Vegetarian Star

“For most of my life I’ve had a thing for the artichoke, because it was such an exciting vegetable. You could do so much with it. I first saw it on television, on “The Little Rascals.” I had my own artichoke plate, with a place for the heart to sit. To this day I still go crazy for them. But I also eat broccoli every day, it’s like taking a vitamin. And I like leafy green vegetables. But artichokes and I go way back.”

—-Model Christie Brinkley, at a fund-raising luncheon for the Northeast Organic Farming Association of New York. Brinkley became vegetarian at 13 and convinced the whole family to follow her lead. She recently starred in a Got Milk? ad.

One of the first supermodels, Marie Helvin is still looker hotter than ever in her 50s. And she does so without animal killing botox.

Helvin claims to use nothing but soap and moisturizer.

“Whatever I use on my face I take right down [to my cleavage],” she said, according to the UK Daily Mail. “They’re my best asset. Not that anyone really sees them any more. But I do.”

Like Christie Brinkley, who’s also in her 5th decade, Helvin is a vegetarian.  

She is currently the face for Marks & Spencer’s portfolio fashion for women over 50.

Earlier today, we told you Christie recently unveiled her new “Got Milk?” ad at the Sundance Film Festival recently.

Here’s a video of her shooting for the ad, along with an interview with the vegetarian supermodel. When she’s having problems getting her kids to eat healthy, she likes to rename the foods to something fun. We’re sure she’s not using any names Stephen Colbert uses, though.

Speaking of milk, you vegans might have something to say about this.

Milk comes with controversy, both for animal rights and health reasons. Will there be a time when a Got Soy Milk? campaign gets going? Or Rice milk. Or almond milk. Who would you like to see wear a non-dairy milk mustache?

Let’s face it, beautiful women have power.

So it’s no surprise to hear that supermodel Christie Brinkley had power over her family when she decided to turn vegetarian as a teenager.

“I became a vegetarian when I was 13 and then got my entire family to become vegetarians,” she recently told PEOPLE when asked her secret to looking gorgeous at 54.

She was unveiling her new Got Milk? ad at Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

She also said nutrition had always been important in her life as well as working out on her total gym.

No doubt her attention to nutrition is what kept her healthy and sane during her messy divorce to ex Peter Cook.
