Vegetarian Star

What’s almost as good as spending an evening with former Lost actor Jorge Garcia and his homemade vegetarian sloppy joes and almond milk?

Spending the evening at LA comedy club The Laugh Factory and listening to his stand-up routine where he poked fun at himself while sharing his passion for vegan food.

All those celebrities who put their faces on their food products (cough, cough Wolfgang Puck) had better watch out.

Former Lost star Jorge Garcia has been in the kitchen mastering his formula for almond milk and he’s already got it bottled and waiting for the no-milk man to deliver.

It’s hard to get “Lost” using Garcia’s recipe because there are only two ingredients: almonds and water.

“Having given up dairy not too long ago I couldn’t help but notice how many ingredients were actually in my store bought almond milk,” Garcia blogged.

Jorge Garcia

Who says a New Year’s celebration is not the same without cheeseburger mini-sliders?

Jorge Garcia, former “Lost” actor who went vegetarian for animal rights, took to his blog to show off pictures of his vegetarian sloppy joe mix that he finished off with churros and wine.

“New Years at our house is usually pretty quiet. Dinner is always Sloppy Joe’s and Tater Tots. But this past New Year’s Eve night we made two batches of Joe. Because I had mine meatless.”

Can you tell from the picture which one is Jorge’s?

Jorge Garcia may have been a little confused by vegan marshmallows, but he’s completely understanding of why he won’t be eating turkey this Thanksgiving or living on an island that doesn’t offer plant-based sources of nutrition.

“I’ve been a vegetarian for about four months now,” Garcia said.

Learning how animals are raised in crowded conditions and slaughtered prompted the change.

“It’s about the animals,” Garcia added.

Someone send this man a vegan chocolate marshmallow turkey! He’ll totally understand it now.

Lost star Jorje Garcia is saddened by the recent lost of his pet chihuahua.

While the two were at the airport, Nunn died in his arms after she was struck by a car. The actor took to his blog to relay the news.

“It breaks my heart to tell you that yesterday as we were preparing to all go to the airport Nunu was struck by a car as she crossed the street. She died in my arms.”

“We are buying her in the Pet Gardens at Valley of the Temples in Kaneohe. Nunu hated the water so we couldn’t bring ourselves to having her ashes scattered in the ocean. Three months from now you’ll be able to find a bronze plaque inscribed with just her name there. If you’d like to leave a flower or a toy, I’m sure she’d love it.”

“They are marshmallows. Or at least marshmallow-like treats.”

“And they claim to be “vegan.” But how can you really tell?”

“Because if you look at this symbol, it seems like they don’t quite understand what “vegan” means.”

“100% vegan. And now with real rabbit.”

—-Lost actor Jorge Garcia, on the irony of how a symbol for a vegan product is an animal. Apparently, the maker of the product, Sweet and Sara, had a rabbit for a childhood pet named Skipper. The bunny logo serves as a symbol that no animals were harmed in the production (ingredients or byproducts) of the marshmallows.
