Vegetarian Star

Children and vegetables don’t always mix. But celebrities and vegetables do.

Joanne Rose is an Australian born actress who has made several appearances on the American big screen, including “CSI: New York”.

She is also one of the original lettuce ladies of PETA and has authored several books, including a children’s book, Tommy Tofu Saves the Day.

Tommy Tofu and several friends, including Polly Potato, Casey Carrot, Zachary Zucchini and Lucy Lettuce help teach kids why veganism is important. And even if you and your child aren’t vegan, they still do a lot to emphasize the importance of fruits and vegetables.

The book has received praise from noteworthy celebrities, including Skinny Bitch author Rory Freedman, who thought it was “adorable, educational, and fun.” Ed Begley Jr. said it was “creative and educational at the same time,” and a “must have for every child.”

Joanne Rose is an Australian born actress that has appeared in “CSI: New York” and as a stand in for the movie Knocked Up.

She was heavily influenced by the late River Phoenix, who was also a vegetarian, in her decision to stop eating animal products and is not too keen on the advice some medical professionals give about healthy eating.

“It bothers me that there are dietitians out there who encourage people to eat meat and dairy,” she told Celebrities For Health. “They believe that eating red meat gives you the essential iron intake you need…You can get all the right vitamins and minerals from being a Vegan. You can also take vitamin supplements to enhance your dietary needs.”

Some of her favorite foods are rice balls, tofu burgers, and wheat-free vegan pizza. She was kind enough to share one of her favorite recipes for “Savory Sauce.” We haven’t tried it yet, but sure sounds like something to share at a future staff dinner.
