Vegetarian Star

2012 had some great moments for vegetarians and vegans.

And some not so great ones.

Here are Vegetarian Star‘s top Not So Vegetarian stories of celebrities and people in the news that have turned heads, offended and or just looked a little ridiculous.

#5. Mayor Bloomberg Washes Down Wieners Without Soda.
NYC’s mayor attended a competitive overeating contest (also known as hot dog eating contest) where the winners consumed dozens of processed, chemical filled animal wieners. He also ate one himself. Thank goodness he found time to attend this in the midst of his campaign to limit soda consumption to curb obesity. Because soda is the only real evil in making people fat. Not 60 hot dogs.

#4 Conan Whips Out His Wiener.
Not exactly indecent exposure, but the World’s Largest Chicago-Style hot dog does expose one to an increased risk of diabetes and cancer.

Good Charlotte brothers Benji and Joel Madden have signed on for a campaign with KFC.

This may come as a surprise, considering the brothers were previously involved with PETA campaigns and at least member of the group professed to be vegetarian.

Yes, in what originally looked like a wild rumor made up by a tabloid, E! confirmed that an elephant was part of the wedding for Richie and Madden on Saturday. A source told E!, “Nicole has always been obsessed with elephants. Lionel wanted to surprise her.”

As expected, this isn’t sitting too well with animal activists. More on that and a video showing guests arriving below.

Nicole Richie is one of the greenest celebrity moms out there, known for being super-strict about buying organic products for the family, eating less meat, and composting. It’s no surprise she’s one of a slew of celebrities backing the Healthy School Meals Act, a bill that would provide regular vegetarian and dairy-free beverage options to more schools.

Richie and her partner, Joel Madden, recently opened a Los Angeles garden for school children and suggests this is yet another way government can give schools the kick they need to churn out healthy, intelligent adults.

“It’s wonderful to teach children about good nutrition and show them how to grow vegetables, but it’s even more important to ensure that they actually have an opportunity to eat these healthier foods on a daily basis.”

Nicole Richie didn’t have a lot of rules growing up as a child, but she wants her household ran differently.

Most of Richie’s rules for daughter Harlow are about keeping her healthy, though.

According to Celebrity Baby Scoop, a friend told Life and Style, “Nicole is obsessed with doing everything she can to try to keep her children healthy and safe.”

One big rule is that the family eat organic.

From Celebrity Baby Scoop:

“The former Simple Life star even grows her own veggies in her garden to prepare salads and stir-fries for vegetarian fiancé, Joel Madden.”

For items she doesn’t grow in her backyard, Richie probably refers to resources like the Top Foods to Buy Organic, before shopping.

Is there any chance of Richie making a rule about eating totally vegetarian in the household?

One half of the delicious looking Good Charlotte twins, Joel Madden, recently engaged in some very dirty Twitter talk!

He corresponded with a fellow follower about Hamburger Helper and Tuna, stating it was one of his favorites!

But what about his vegetarianism?

Read the dialogue for yourself.

@JoelMadden “I just made some mean hamburger helper with my secret add on’s – wait grown ups can still eat hamburger helper right?”

@nerandhas “Hamburger and tuna helper are some of my favs, i plan on passing them on to my children.”

Gasp!

Not only is he saying that he likes the stuff, but he wants his kids to pick up on the bad habit?

Sure hope that Hamburger helper is made with Boca crumbles!

The great raw Queen Ani Phyo catered a private event recently, and after all the hard work she stopped by to party with Good Charlotte twin Joel Madden.

Joel was spinning for a party at a West Hollywood hotel, but took the time to pose for the camera with Ani, who complimented him and partner Nicole Ritchie for making such great green efforts.

“Joel Madden is married to gorgeous Nicole Richie, and they’re both committed to living eco green. For their 2nd child’s room, they choose non-toxic paints for the walls, organic cotton sheets, and wood products made from reclaimed sustainable wood from the Brazilian rain forest.”

Ani has catered to several stars, including the band Maroon 5.

Visit Ani’s blog to see her pic with Joel and learn all about the raw goodness she doesn’t cook up in her kitchen.
