Vegetarian Star

County and state fairs are the hub for vegetarian food, right?

Ha!

And Jimmy Dean makes soy sausages.

Unfortunately fairs are often filled with greased bathed, crusted delicacies of beef, pork and chicken, not to mention all the sugar that would give even a non diabetic problems.

Imagine how out of place raw vegan Jason Mraz felt while playing for the Indiana State Fair recently, where there are copious amounts of midwestern farm exhibits (live pigs, cows-which sometimes are placed near beef samples. How rude!) in addition to your standard meat fare.

When a reporter asked him about resisting all the “tempting” foods, Jason answered, “No problem. I think I missed the pig races as well.”

However, we shouldn’t stereotype fairs, as the ISF has plenty of corn on the cob (this is Indiana, remember. Corn is like, the official state vegetable) and last year’s fair had, you guessed it, fried broccoli, onions, and other wholesome veggies.

Have you attend a local fair that surprised you with the amounts of vegetarian or even vegan foods?

Note: The writer of this post has lived in Indiana and attended the state fair once. Hence, the sarcasm. No offense Hoosiers.

According to the USDA, the average American farmer is 55 years of age or older.

But that doesn’t mean there aren’t youngins out there.

And hot ones at that!

Jason Mraz is featured in Mother Nature Network’s “40 Farmers Under 40,” great profiles of young, rosy cheeked agrarians who might take the ipod filled with Greenday and Coldplay with them to the field to harvest crops.

The 32 year old raw vegan singer-songwriter has an avocado garden, which sits on five acres in San Diego, California.

Jason eats his share of 2-4 avocados a day and if you recall us telling you, created a dessert made with avocados and chocolate, the chocomole.

“I do sell my avocados,” Jason told CNN last year. “I mean, they don’t have a sticker on them that say that these are from the Mraz Farms, but I moved into an area that all of us are avocado farmers.”

Vegan singer and musician Jason Mraz has recently revealed on his blog what he consumes for the most important meal of the day.

“The secret to a great day is how you start your day. And for the past year and a half I’ve avoided eating a heavy traditional breakfast. Instead, I merrily jumpstart my day with the ever-so-awesome Vitamineral Green from Healthforce Nutritionals”

“One heaping scoop of this stuff in the morning provides an insane amount of goodness for the body. The powdered greens (from dehydrated plants and algae among other things) taken by itself is enough to live on. It goes straight to the blood and straight to the brain and stays with you all day. I stir mine every morning with ONE-Brand Coconut Water, but I prefer to blend it also with some Flax Oil, Freelife Goji Juice, Avocados, Maca Spice (the Peruvian Viagra) and a few dates. I even do Cayenne pepper on mornings that I want something savory. The flavor options are unlimited and there’s no way you can overdose on the stuff.”

“Think about it for a second, would you rather start your day with something fattening and/or sugary that ends up around your waist or deep in your ass, or would you rather feel light and energized with a glow that people can recognize? Remember, you are what you eat.”

Healtforce Nutritionals is a 100% gluten-free product company that is probably anointing Jason’s feet with oil now that they’ve gotten such a big plug.

Some fans got together and did a remix of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours,” from his album, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things.

Everything’s cool and all except the fact that it’s filmed at MCDONALD’S and features people ordering all SORTS OF NASTY MEAT DISHES!

Of course, raw vegan Jason is cool about it and let’s people know on his Myspace blog, that while he’s not down with McDonald’s, he’s down with people having fun with his song.

“I’ve seen a lot of covers and heard a lot of parodies of “I’m Yours,” but this one is super sized. While I don’t advocate that brand of fast food, I dig what these talented people are doing by taking their art into the real world, being joyous and unafraid to shine their light in random acts, enrolling others in their wonderful state of play. This is life you guys. This is it. There ain’t no dress rehearsal. Order what you want.”

Seriously, people need to make an “I’m Yours,” remix at a vegan restaurant.

Watch the video for yourself.

Jason Mraz likes it raw. And ever since he opened up about his chocolate avocado dessert, he’s never stopped talking to the media about his raw vegan diet.

So it comes as no surprise that Jason’s named his latest tour after a chain of raw foods restaurants in San Fransisco, California, Cafe Gratitude.

Cafe Gratitude, the tour, kicks off in July in Hershey, Pennsylvania.

Cafe Gratitude, the menu, offers elixirs, juices, and smoothies, appetizers like raw nachos, and raw soups, salads, pizzas, and veggie burgers.

The “Curbside Prophet” Jason Mraz has been a vegan since April 1st. While some stars on tour may find it hard for restaurants and hotels to cater to them, Mraz prefers to make his own contraptions.

“Rather than rely on room service and overpriced restaurant versions of vegetarian cuisine, I shop at local grocers and eat my own delicious homemade meals.”

Like Russell Simmons, Mraz thinks yoga is where all the good looking chicks are as there are many “hot girls fresh from yoga” to be found in natural foods stores.

He and his friend Toca Rivera both started eating vegan and since then, Rivera, who has diabetes, claims his diabetic problems has disappeared.

But don’t tell Mraz that eating unprocessed, vegan food is considered “alternative.”

“ALTERNATIVES? How did we let nature’s supply take a back seat and become so hard to reach?”
