Both of these sexy Canadian ladies don’t eat Canadian bacon and are competing against each other in PETA’s annual Sexiest Vegetarian Contest, which ends at the end of the month. So between the two, rocker Alanis Morissette or country singer Shania Twain, who would you rather do…
When we heard Sarah Silverman left the meatballs off her spaghetti, we cheered even though we didn’t think she was a vegetarian.
Now, some gossip has come in that Sarah has said she doesn’t eat meat and was instructing others how to heat up veggie meatballs.
A reader named Anon left us this tip:
“Sarah’s a vegetarian. She was on cam (on her twitter account) with her friend Steve Agee and confirmed she doesn’t eat meat.”
“Oh, this was while giving a cooking demonstration on how to heat veggie meatballs your mum makes for you, in the microwave.”
She must be rubbing her good food karma on Jimmy Kimmel (we think they’re together, you never know), seeing as he’s been totally putting down pork and other meat eating on his show recently.
We searched Sarah’s Twitter and found some mentioning of Steve Agee and a video channel, but haven’t found the broadcast yet, so we’ll treat this as gossip.
But we’ve got a feeling the news is coming out soon!
However, a little bit of veggieness snuck its way on a recent episode,Red John’s Friends.
After “The Mentalist” Patrick Jane (Simon Baker) helps an innocent man named Jared get out of jail, the agents drive away with the newly freed ex-prisoner, planning to utilize him to help them catch a serial killer, Red John.
The group gets slowed down as they drive through a huge mob of animal rights protesters with anti-fur signs.
Coincidence? Or is Owain putting his two cents in for suggested scenes?
Nice little video of Rip Esselstyn, author of the Engine 2 Dietdiscussing how the firefighters of Austin, Texas’ Fire Engine Company #2 eat vegan during work shifts.
Rip encouraged the guys at Engine 2 to go veg after some were having medical problems like high cholesterol. According to the video, a study showed heart disease kills more firefighters than fire itself.
Esselstyn’s book, which helped Newsweek’s David Noonan go vegan and lose weight, was written after he was inspired to go veg from his father’s research. His father, Dr. Caldwell Essestyn says, “Having the USDA design your food pyramid is like having Al Capone do your taxes.”
Esselstyn’s entire family eats vegan and it looks like the family favorite food is kale (Watch aunt Esselstyn rip the leaves off that plant, yo)
Best quote of the day starts at the beginning of the video when Rip says, “Real men eat plants and boys meat meat.”
Rip thinks in the next five years eating meat will be such a social disgrace, taking your tenderloin away from the picnic gathering will be equal to asking a smoker not to smoke inside.
While he may be a little overly optimistic, with more people choosing to at least flex or reduce some meats in their diet, Rip’s definitely onto some future trend.
Heather Mills cooked up some tasty vegan recipes at the Brighton Foodie Festival this weekend. Heather recently joined Twitter because she said she wanted to share vegan recipes and “tell it exactly like it is,” and that’s exactly what she did when she spoke about veganism at the festival.
“They just think that it’s boring nut roasts and lots of hippy people who they think haven’t washed for months but they do, but that’s not what being vegan is about,” Heather said, according to the UK Daily Mail.
“It’s about being animal friendly, saving the environment and the planet. The biggest contributor of global warming is the consumption of meat and dairy, but of course they are not going to tell you that.”
Chef Heather (yes, we can officially call her that, now) gave audience members samples of leafy green and soy beefy stir fry, creamy sweetcorn chowder, and creamy nut korma with faux chicken.
The dishes were just a taste of what Heather plans to put on the menu at V-Bites, her new vegan restaurant in the UK.
Tired of others impersonating her on the social networking site, Mills said she plans to use the site to share both her vegan recipes and “feelings on any number of things,” with the intention to “tell it exactly like it is”.
