Jason Mraz Fishitarian Self Title Confuses Us

Written by Vegetarian Star on Tuesday, September 15th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

Jason Mraz is known in the veg community for being a vegan, right?

So a recent interview with austin360.com, has left us scratching our heads, crinkling our eyebrows, and saying, “Huh?”

Read for yourself.

“Well, I’d call myself a vegan fishitarian who’s mostly a raw foodist. It’s a totally personal thing. In my case, it’s from touring so much. Everything in my life changed after I tried eating raw food for 30 days the first time – my mind, my physical appearance, my energy. I realized that food really is my fuel. Once I started to commit to whole foods and natural foods, I was like, “This is great!””

We wish these fish eating vegetarians would just call themselves pescatarians.

And how long has the Mr. Mraz been doing this while we’ve been dropping the name “vegan,” without offering any, “but he eats” behind it?

Or does “fishitarian” mean Jason goes fishing then throws the flippers back into the water?

Confused. Bewildered. Guess we’ll have to make some chocomole dessert and think about it for awhile.

Jason Mraz took a moment to Tweet in agreement with the readers of YELP, a website with restaurant reviews.

“stoked that www.cafeflourish.com won #1 vegan restaurant LA on YELP. It’s so good. I would have voted for them too.”

Someone at Cafe Flourish is all about the love, cause the menu is nothing but hookin’ up.

Love Bites, Love Salads, Sandwiches that Love You, Big Love Bites and Be-Love Corn Crusted Pizzas make up the main menu sections.

Our favorite is the “Snuggle Fest”-Soy hot dogs wrapped in a single “blanket” with ketchup, Dijon, “mayo” & sweet pickle relish with a side Caesar salad.

Better lovin’ requires you get in touch with your spiritual side.

The “Amen for Almond Hummus” is hummus topped with a chunky olive tapenade with sun-dried tomato flax crackers for scooping.

Raw food vegan Jason Mraz has recorded a series of videos helping to promote his Gratitude Cafe tour.

In this clip, Jason introduces us to his assistant who helps prepare some some of the delicious vegan foods Jason eat regularly.

“People have this notion that if it’s healthy, then it must taste bad,” Jason said.

“Not true,” says the assistant.

Hilarity follows when Jason leaves the room and the assistant is seen devouring what looks to be a cheeseburger.

Be sure to watch the clip below to learn where Jason gets his inspiration for songs, including in hotel rooms.

You’ll see an almost NSFW nude Jason!

Jason Mraz Resists Corn Dogs At Indiana State Fair

Written by Vegetarian Star on Thursday, August 27th, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

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.

Olivia Wilde Should Live On Jason Mraz Avocado Farm

Written by Vegetarian Star on Sunday, August 23rd, 2009 in Actresses, Food & Drink.

Comments Off

Vegan actress Olivia Wilde has just admitted to some serious avocado loving!

“I also love avocados. I feel like I always have avocados at my house. For me, they’re nature’s gift.”

Olivia should pay a visit to vegan singer Jason Mraz’s avocado farm and maybe try his chocomole-chocolate and avocado-dessert recipe.

The House star admits she eats pretty much whatever she wants without worrying about putting on extra pounds.

Her ability to do this is probably related to the fact that vegan diets, full of lean plant based proteins like nuts, beans, and whole grain pasta and belly filling fruits and vegetables have waaaay less fat and calories than the meat and potatoes ones.

And let’s hear it for those avocados, which are full of monounsaturated “good for you” fats that help lower bad LDL cholesterol.

We think we hear some guacamole calling us from the fridge!

Jason Mraz Is One Of MNN’s 40 Farmers Under 40

Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, July 31st, 2009 in Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

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.”

Visit mnn.com to read who the other 39 farmers under 40 are, which include contributors to noted publications such as the Huffington Post and grist.org and an actor in a Peabody-award winning film.

Jason Mraz Does Vitamineral Green For Breakfast

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, July 11th, 2009 in Business, Food & Drink, Male Musicians, Male Singers.

1 Comment

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.
