Vegetarian Star

So there’s a new show out called Breaking Bread.

It’s a 12-episode series where celebrities get together and chill and talk about their favorite causes.

On a recent episode, the favorite cause of the week was…you guessed it-veganism!

The vegan episode was hosted by Choe Jo Berman, blogger at GirlieGirlArmy.com and was packed with Hollywood glam like Meredith Salenger, Corey and Susie Feldman, Persia White, John Joseph, Mickey Madden, Emily Deschanel, Marilu Henner, Mariel Hemmingway, Gene Baur, Victoria Moran, Rory Freedman and Laban Pheidias.

The show is apparently so hot, things have to cool down before an air date can be set. When we find out more, we’ll let you know!

“Children have a natural empathy with animals. They carry around a teddy bear and are taught to love animals. All those fairy tales have animals in them. Then kids are taught to accept their exploitation and death. I do think people try to do the best they can, but they get hit by mixed messages from every direction. They get confused and need to learn.”

—-Singer and songwriter Nellie McKay, in an interview with popmatters.com. 

Talk about mixed messages…Kids grow up with cats and dogs as pets and cows and chickens as food. No wonder the adolescents of today are so angst ridden!

Don’t you hate it when you’re a vegan and you’re forced to eat rat’s tail in an eating contest on some reality TV show? It’s a bummer!

Episode one of I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here featured John Salley in an eating competition with Heidi Montag. The treat? Delicious rat tail. Salley swallowed ratatouille booty whole, while Heidi was ladylike and nibbled.

Could the menu on episode one, be the reason Heidi quit?

John Salley, the artist formerly known as vegan, had told several media sources he planned to eat raw and vegan while in the Costa Rica jungle. Rat tail’s raw alright, but definitely not vegan. Unless there’s some fake rodent meat substitute Whole Foods isn’t stocking at the moment.

Episode one and Salley is already breaking his veganness. What do you guys think about the situation? Did Salley naively think he could only eat vegan on the show?

Vegans Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi have been included in Victoria Namkung’s “Five Celebrity Couples We Can Believe In” at huffingtonpost.com.

In the entertainment world, breaking up is more common than the old good luck wish of “Break a leg.” And don’t even get us started on the rumors and scandals. Jon and Kate plus…8 extra boyfriends and girlfriends?!

Great couples do great things for themselves and others, and Ellen and Portia’s contribution to both animals and healthy living is highlighted.

“They may be in the midst of fighting for equal marriage rights, but you can’t help but notice how damn happy Ellen DeGeneres and actress Portia de Rossi are together, whether they’re buying up modern homes, rescuing dogs or going vegan together.”

Find out who the other great couples are at the Huffington Post.

Heather Mills‘ vegan restaurant in the UK, V-Bites, is set to open next month and Heather’s been running her vegan butt off trying to get everything ready, especially the menu.

Heather says one thing that might surprise meat eaters is that the substitute meats she’ll be cooking and serving at V-Bites will taste just like the real deal.

“What is definitely going to shock people is the meat replacements,” she told Metro. “They have a real meat taste to them.”

Fake meats come in handy for those who went veg for reasons other than disliking the taste of meat.

And there’s certainly no shortage of varieties to choose from: fake turkey, chicken, bacon, even gourmet creations like faux chicken cordon blue.

What’s your favorite fake meat?

Today is the day NHL player Georges Laraque turns vegan.

The Montreal Canadienes enforcer had been vegetarian for some time and recently told the Montreal Gazette he planned to go vegan on June 1st.

Georges has already blogged about his activism, participating in an anti-fur protest in Canada.

Making the plunge which involves eschewing dairy, eggs, and even certain types of clothing can be a challenge. Some may find themselves “going vegan” several times before they get it right.

Think Georges can pull it off? Give us your thoughts!

Wishing you a wonderful, animal-free life, Georges!

Jane Velez-Mitchell’s got a new book coming out in October.

iWant is all about her journey to recovering from iwanting too much and that desire leading to overeating, smoking, excessive drinking, and excessive consumption.

Jane is no stranger to sharing her vegan beliefs in her work on Issues With Jane Velez-Mitchell on CNN’s Headline News, and iWant includes a chapter titled, “Veganism/Animal Activism: I Want to Make a Difference.”

Making a difference means making thoughtful purchase choices that will ultimately affect everything surrounding us from the planet to our health to the economy.

According to heeb’n’vegan, Jane writes these choices are sometimes so overwhelming, she has to pray about it.

“Every morsel of food I put into my mouth is an environmental, political, moral, and spiritual choice. Every household product I buy is an environmental, political, moral, and spiritual choice. I always try to think before I choose. Sometimes, when I’m in a quandary, I pray before I choose.”

Making good choices about our purchases isn’t as easy as looking at the bottom line. Organic or local? Vegan company or mainstream business offering a line of vegan products? Trade Fair trade for your favorite brand?

How do you make the tough purchase decisions in your life? What rules do you follow?
