Vegetarian Star

Erykah Badu "Vibe"

Erykah Badu is burning up the stands, appearing on yet another magazine cover this month.

First, there was the JET issue, and now Vibe features Badu on the June/July 2010 edition.

Inside Badu discusses how both her diet and her family decisions have permanently changed her life.

“I was 27 when I had Seven. I was already a vegetarian. I had been for 10 years. I had started making choices that would shape me for the rest of my life. I never thought to measure by each child. My children are six years apart. It wasn’t planned, just how the relationships rolled out. I’ve had three unorthodox marriages of sorts. I’ve had the benefit of having substantial amount of time with people, mind-building time.”

Celebrities are great for promoting your product.

Eh, as long as they don’t do anything too outrageous, or are caught by TMZ doing the outrageous act.

Celebrities are even better for giving food products the boost, and vegan food is no different.

A recent article at CNN touches on celebrity foodies and opens up with none other than vegan ice cream company Wheeler’s Frozen Ice Cream.

Owner of Wheeler’s, Chef Wheeler del Torro, discusses how shipping his goodies to Erykah Badu got him some exposure.

“Teaming up with someone like [Erykah] is something that is definitely good for outreach to vegans and non-vegans, because she has such mass appeal,” he said.

One of Wheeler’s custom ice creams, a $7,000 champagne flavor made with vintage Dom Perignon and sprinkled gold flakes has become popular among some rappers as well.

Vintage Dom Perignon and gold flakes?

That’s some serious vegan bling.

Wheeler is also the author of a vegan ice cream cookbook, The Vegan Scoop.

Erykah Badu is known for visiting her hometown food joints, such as the Spiral Diner.

The latest news is that the soul singing diva likes to frequent a vegan bakery called Tough Cookie Bakery in Dallas, Texas.

From pegasunews.com:

“Even Erykah Badu is known to swing by The Green Spot every now and then to pick up a few those oh-so-decadent vegan cinnamon rolls we all dream about. And who can blame her? (Hmm — I wonder if she’s also responsible for those empty trays at The Pearl Cup…)”

“Well, Erykah — maybe your next cinnamon roll will include a little love from me, too!”

Tough Cookie makes not so tough tasting vegan cookies, muffins, pretzels and cinnamon rolls and is looking to create their own line of gluten-free pastries, pizza crusts, pies and breads in the future.

There’s nothing like going to your hometown for a good vegan meal!

Erykah Badu and her family enjoyed some vegan grub at Spiral Diner in the Oak Cliff area of Dallas, Texas.

Badu was born and bred in Dallas and likes to stop by when she’s not touring.

It’s gotta be the food.

Silverstein’s Shane Told Tweeted about his love for Spiral Diner vegan brownies and ice cream.

In a world where LA and New York are the veg food meccas, it’s so cool to know the southern folk can get their vegan eatin’ on at a reputable place.

Singer and musician Erykah Badu Tweeted about her dilemma on taking out one annoying wasp:

“i wonder should vegan ‘s kill aggressive wasps ? anyone have updated handbook? cause this mafuka gettin close to my head now..”

Jared Leto saved a spider from death row at a Proposition 2 party. Kristen Bell won’t tolerate you smashing a bug in front of her.

Our closest of smart-alec meat eating friends will always casually remind us that bugs and other insects are killed when harvesting plants.

Do you smack the flies at the picnic table or just shoo them away, hoping they’ll take up residence someplace else?

Perhaps the No-Kill Bugbuster might come in handy for Erykah and the rest of us.

As a child, what snack did you love so much, you were willing to forgo an entire month of Saturday morning Smurfs?

Erykah Badu’s daughter, Puma, doesn’t seem to be that picky about her favorite munchie. As long as it’s vegan.

Erykah recently made a CelebrityTweet:

“puma keeps asking for vegan snack after snack …i oughta do like my mama and tell her , “.. gone . gone and eat em all then they’ll be gone.”

With all the unhealthy snacks kids ask for these days (chips, soda, cookies, oh my), Erykah should at least be thankful little Puma knows what good!

Of course, having a mom who grows her own herbs and is so big on holistic health doesn’t hurt.

Does your child have a favorite vegan snack you wouldn’t dare leave off the grocery list? Are you a big kid who has serious problems parting with your vegan comfort food?

Learn about what else Puma is begging for at Erykah’s celebrity Tweet at celebritytweet.com/fatbellybella/.
