Vegetarian Star

Gwyneth Paltrow has recently shared on her blog, Goop, the diet and fitness regime she adhered to while getting fit for her new role in Iron Man 2.

Paltrow is known for her use of ingredients that, although many vegetarians find as staples, like vegan Mayonnaise, has brought her ridicule and called an elitist.

Ahlanlive took advantage of her latest newsletter entry to mock her diet, citing what Paltrow uses in her world, versus what regular Joe’s use in theirs.

GOOP World: 7am: Wake up, have a green tea
Real World: 7am: Alarm goes off. Unpeel tongue from roof of mouth. Momentarily wish was dead as preferential to getting up and going to work. Hit snooze button.

GOOP World: Post-workout: Kale Juice (kale, lemons, agave nectar, cold water)
Real World: What the hell is agave nectar?

GOOP World: 1pm Lunch: 1 Mountain Valley Wrap, 1.5 tablespoons of Almond Butter, Chopped Dates
Real World: “Hello, is that More? Yeah, can I get a lasagne for delivery, please? Yep, that’s it, thanks. No nothing else.” Pause. “And chips.”

Is your life closer to Goop World or Real World?

Gwyneth Paltrow packs her kids’ lunch boxes with plenty of vegetarian sushi and almond butter and jelly sandwiches.

This was revealed in the latest edition of Goop, the actress’ online newsletter.

According to Gwyneth, veggie sushi is, “A great way to use leftover cooked rice and sneak some extra vegetables into your kid’s diet—not to mention a great way to get rid of those extra soy sauce packages that always seem to accumulate in the kitchen drawer.”

No kidding.

How many times have you thrown away those dozens of soy sauce packages, along with the two dozen more salt and pepper condiments that have hardened since your last visit from Chinese take out?

Be eco-friendly and save money by using them before purchasing similar condiments from the grocery.

Gwyneth’s recipe uses asparagus wrapped inside sheets of Nori and brown rice, but adds you can substitute any vegetable you’d like, including carrots, cucumbers or mushrooms.

Nori makes a great substitute for bread or tortilla wraps and is rich in Iodine and Vitamins A and C.

Gwyneth Paltrow has a couple of tykes of her own, so she knows firsthand the joy of reading children’s books, both classic and modern.

In a recent edition of her online newsletter, Goop.com, Paltrow has included several of her favorite children’s books and for parents who wish to combine bed time stories with education, Hubert the Pudge: A Vegetarian Tale by Henrik Drescher, is one she recommends picking up during your next trip to the library or bookstore.

Hubert is a pig-elephant hybrid with horns (could this be a result of some terrible big farm GMO project?) who narrowly escapes his fate as bacon and ham when he slides through a hole at Farmer Jake’s Processing Plant.

After meeting up with some other animals with freedom, the team devise a plan to rescue the others and persuade the farmer to open a tofu dog factory instead.

“This book is a great way to teach kids about vegetarianism plus the brightly colored ink illustrations make each page fun to get lost in,” writes Gwyneth.

Missing was her foodie pal Mario Batali as Gwyneth Paltrow took another trip “On The Road Again,” this time to the southern United States.

Gwyneth visited Nashville, Tennessee for a few months in a quest to eat, drink, enjoy incredible culture and meet friendly people.

In the latest edition of her newsletter Goop, Gwyneth says a restaurant called “The Family Wash” has a vegetarian Shepherd’s pie worth the road or plane trip.

“This bar is as cozy and intimate as could be; it has a worn-in, comfortable feel to it. There is a low stage in the back for all the musicians that come through playing bluegrass, country and rock. The Vegetarian Shepherd’s pie is spectacular, made of layers of perfectly seasoned lentils, mashed potatoes and cheddar cheese.”

Traditional shepherd’s pie usually contains ground beef or lamb.

Although The Family Wash serves items for meat eaters too, it definitely is a place to eat with mixed company, as there are other veggie friendly items on the menu like hummus and salad with quinoa.

Gwyneth Paltrow‘s no vegetarian.

But that doesn’t mean she’s not flexible!

In the latest edition of her web newsletter, Goop, Gwyneth has included some of her recommended vegetarian books for reading, cooking and educating.

There’s How To Cook Everything Vegetarian by the vegan until six author Mark Bittman, Veganomicon by Post Punk Kitchen queen Isa Chandra Moskowitz, something for the Italian veggies to enjoy and Jonathan Safran Foer‘s tale of how he became vegetarian.

Woohoo!

By way of Ecorazzi, The Veg Star has learned that the long awaited column on vegetarianism by Paul McCartney has finally been published on Gwyneth Paltrow‘s website, Goop.com.

Paul discusses the benefits of being vegetarian and how a plant based diet is less taxing on the environment.

And Gwyneth finally comes clean about those “mostly vegetarian” but liking turkey rumors.

“I am not a vegetarian, but when I heard about “Meat Free Monday,” I was intrigued. I had never thought about the environmental impact of raising livestock.”

Paul gives several points of discussion from the 2006 United Nations Report:

“Livestock production is the largest source of water pollutants, principally animal wastes, antibiotics, hormones, chemicals from tanneries, fertilizers and pesticides used for feed crops, and sediments from eroded pastures.”

“The meat industry is set to double its production by 2050 so even if they manage to lower emissions by 50%, as they have promised to, we will still be in the same position.”

“A third of all cereal crops, and well over 90% of soya, goes into animal feed, not food for humans. Eating less meat will free up a lot of agricultural land which can revert to growing trees and other vegetation, which, in turn, will absorb more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.”

Want more facts?

Make today your first Meat-Free Monday and visit Gwyneth’s Goop.

Thanksgiving is just around the corner, so we’ll probably start seeing some turkey burger recipes pop up on Gwyneth Paltrow‘s website Goop.com.

The former vegetarian has been ripped by the community for “going back,” but she does try to refrain from some meat, if only for health reasons.

An Esquirer writer took on the task of following Gwyneth’s advice from Goop, which resulted in a hilarious piece of commentary.

The food plan followed called for eliminating several good for you vegetables, like tomatoes.

“Her meal plan cut out all dairy, gluten, meat, shellfish, condiments, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, and an entire class of food (tomatoes, eggplant, potatoes, and peppers) called nightshades. (Who knew?) Her menus were simple: For breakfast I consumed blueberry-and-almond-milk smoothies (fortified with protein and probiotic supplements), and for lunch and dinner I alternated among Paltrow’s recipes for light salads and thin soups. (The full seven-day menu is on goop.com.) Over the course of a single week I spent about $300 at a cluttered health-food market, and every night I spent about an hour preparing the next day’s meals. For those first few days, I felt terrible, and looking over my notes from that period, I’m kind of amazed I stuck with it.”

Kudos to Gwyneth for the almond milk suggestion, but to cut all Nightshade foods of peppers, potatoes, tomatoes, and eggplants?

Sounds night-shady.

Gwyneth Paltrow is cooking with tofu in the latest installment of Goop.com.

What exactly is Bibimbop?

The B-side version of Hanson‘s MMMbop?

Actually, it’s a Korean dish with Miso sauce, vegetables, rice, and tofu among other ingredients.

Laugh at Gwyneth as she tries to pronounce Bibimbop and grab the recipe after the jump (more…)
