Vegetarian Star

Jane Lynch, who plays the cunning and caustic cheerleading coach on the Fox television series Glee, would rather beat the crap out of Vocal Adrenaline than an animal.

Her character, Sue Sylvester, had a few lines on the Mash Up episode that originally threatened Glee coach Will Schuester by letting him bond with a cat before ending its life.

Um, yeah, even if this is television, that doesn’t belong in any conversation.

“I’m not going to say that,” Lynch said of her lines. “I work for PETA. I can’t say kill the cat.”

The script was changed to reflect adopting an animal from a shelter and punching Schuester instead. Nice work!

“I’ll need to see the set list for sectionals, after all. I want them on my desk warm from the laminator at 5 p.m. If it is one minute late, I will go to the animal shelter and get you a kitty cat. I will let you fall in love with that kitty cat. And then on some dark, cold night, I will steal away into your home and punch you in the face.”

Reports are that Glee star Lea Michele is acting all diva and bitchy on the set.

“Lea acts like she’s better than the rest of the cast,” a source told US Magazine.

Another source said, “She’s sweet, but she has her moments,” while yet another mentioned “she has become super-strict about her diet. She is a vegan now and says she hasn’t eaten cheese in a year!”‘

Duh! Hence the reason for the bitchiness.

If you’ve been a good boy or girl and know cheese is nothing but the product of whoring out cows that live only a 1/5 of their natural lifespan, not to mention the environmental impact of those same whores passing gas on dairy farms, you might have some “moments” of your own after giving up such an addictive and admittedly tasty product.

In walks vegan cheese to soothe yourself and everyone around you.

From soy based to rice based to nut cheese, there’s a block, bag of shreds or log to fulfill you when you need it. Check out this extensive list of vegan cheeses featuring products available at both the grocery store and online.

It’s been a year. It’s time. No one should go through that kind of dry spell.

Lea Michele as Rachel Berry in "Glee"

Glee is bringing Lea Michele‘s real life characteristics into her Rachel Berry character.

On a recent episode, Rachel is lured into the parking lot by Jesse, and she experiences an onslaught of chicken fetuses to her face, or at least that’s what some chick from rival singing club Vocal Adrenaline says:

“I hear you’re a vegan, Berry. The souls of those poor egg fetuses are all on your conscience now.”

Actually, most eggs from the supermaket are the unfertilized products of a chicken’s reproductive cycle, so Miss Vocal Adrenaline needs to study her biology more between after school practices.

Unless she got them from a free-range farm where the chick and the rooster actually engaged in Hanky Panky. In that case, then, yeah, those poor would have been chickens. Free-range chickens good, killing potential chicks bad. Rachel Berry can’t win for losing.

Some of the cast members of Glee told Mother Nature Network how they stay green.

Glee has its share of singing vegetarians, so it’s no surprise that Jenna Ushkowitz‘s tip was to “eat less meat.”

A few facts from the Natural Resources Defense Council:

From 1995 to 1998, 1,000 spills or pollution incidents occurred at livestock feedlots in 10 states and 200 manure-related fish kills resulted in the death of 13 million fish.

Ammonia, a toxic form of nitrogen released in gas form during waste disposal, can be carried more than 300 miles through the air before being dumped back onto the ground or into the water, where it causes algal blooms and fish kills.

Yeah, factory farms and meat give you nothing good to sing about, that’s for sure.

Lea Michele admits she’s not a party girl.

She not into substances and doesn’t go out clubbing and said you’ll never see her, “on a table at a bar, jumping up and down.”

So what does Glee girl Rachel Berry do on her weekends?

You just might find her having a ball with a bean and rice bowl and some acai juice.

She described her favorite way to relax after a long, hard day as getting the, “most delicious vegan food I can find, generally from Real Food Daily. I get kale, black beans, brown rice and tofu, with lime cilantro dressing and hot sauce. I’ll pour myself a glass of organic wine. I’ll watch the crappiest reality television, maybe take a bath or a shower, give myself a nice little face mask and go to bed.”

Yum!

And who says prudes don’t know how to party?

Glee star Jane Lynch has recorded a new PSA for PETA about spaying and neutering your pets.

The aggressive cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester is doing a cheer for the millions of animals in shelters waiting for a home.

“The good folks at PETA asked me to say a few words about the importance of good posture and personal hygiene–but I don’t want to talk about that,” says the 2010 Golden Globe award nominee for Best Supporting Actress. “I want to talk about the 4 million dogs and cats who are euthanized every year because there aren’t enough homes for all of them.”

Lynch has one more tip at the end.

Watch to find out!

Lea Michele told Wonderwall that she loves making the trip to Whole Foods whenever she can and coming back home to cook.

“Well I’m a vegan so I don’t eat eggs or dairy but I make a pretty good tofu scramble for breakfast,” she said.

When it comes to a good tofu scramble, the rules are there are no rules.

When tossing crumbled soybean curd with plain vegetables isn’t working anymore, experiment and go wild!

Yes, that really can be done with tofu.

Blend a few teaspoons of nutritional yeast or tahini in the tofu mixture.

And spices like oregano and basil.

Saute vegetables before mixing with tofu to avoid extra water getting in the mix.

Best tip: Dry tofu out well before making by taking the cubes or the smashed crumbles and placing them on layers of paper towels or a dishtowel on a cutting board or plate.

Then, place more paper towels or another dishtowel on top of it and let it absorb the moisture and dry for several hours.

You can even freeze tofu, then unthaw for an extra crispy scramble!

Lea Michele "Asos Magazine"

Lea Michele is on the cover of the May 2010 issue of Asos Magazine.

Inside, starting on page 75 is an interview with the Glee actress, where she reveals that she is currently a macrobiotic vegan. To the disappointment of vegetarians and vegans, she may soon become a pescatarian as she’s reintroducing fish into her diet.

Michele may feel she needs the fish protein for her health, as she’s also been giving herself B12 shots.

The National Institutes of Health lists sources of B12 from foods on its website.

The effects of B12 deficiency may include anemia, fatigue, and neurological symptoms such as numbness and tingling of the hands and feet.

While vegetarians can get B12 from dairy sources like yogurt and milk, it’s been argued that vegans may run into problems and often need supplements.

However, looking at the list of NIH sources reveals fortified cereals as one of the top three, with only beef liver and clams ahead.

Whether you’re a vegetarian, vegan, pescatarian or something in between, try starting your next morning with a bowl of granola or wheat bran flakes cereal drenched in cold, refreshing soy milk.
