Vegetarian Star

Lisa Bloom, an attorney and legal expert who hosted her own talk show on Court TV and has served as a legal analyst for CNN and CBS news, is a lifelong vegetarian who eventually became a vegan.

Bloom thinks the answer to climate change is to adopt a vegan diet, and discusses why in this clip taken during an interview when she attended a book signing event for Gristle, a collection of essays co-edited by Moby, on the effects of factory farms on the planet.

"Meat is for Pussies" John Joseph

Meat Is For Pussies by punk rocker John Joseph has already gained the attention of several notables in the vegetarian community. Serving as no-nonsense advice for getting healthy and removing the junk from your body, Joseph’s book emphasizes that the only wimpy men out there are the ones still grabbing a double-double for dinner. Here’s what others have to say:

Rory Freedman, co-author of Skinny Bitch:
“Meat is for Pussies will completely transform your mind, body, and life. It’ll also score you major ass with hot vegan chicks.”

Moby:
“I’m really glad that John Joseph is finally showing that vegans are some of the strongest, healthiest, and toughest people on the planet. I mean, everyone wants to be thin and healthy and live long lives, but people still eat meat? That’s insane.”

Moby is so into tacos and kale, he would eat the combination as his last meal on death row. In a week’s time, he made his way across the U.S. to enjoy tacos on both the east and west coast. The vegan musician shares his food adventures in Grub Street New York‘s regular feature where notables divulge every detail of what they’ve eaten in the past week.

New York city drew him to Caravan of Dreams for their seitan tacos. “They have these seitan taquitos, which are tiny little mini-tacos with seitan, pineapple, guacamole, and salsa,” Moby said. “They’re spectacular. It comes with a side of sautéed kale and garlic.”

By the middle of the week, he made his way to Real Food Daily in California to enjoy “Taco the Town,” another seitan based taco dish with black beans, spanish rice, guacamole and pico de gallo.

Treehugger posted a video from a talk given by Moby and Miyun Park, the two co-editors of the book about factory farming, Gristle, during one of their book promotion appearances.

Moby reiterated what he’s said before in interviews about how subsidies to big farms not only make it harder for people to buy healthier, organic, plant based food, but contribute to more destruction of the environment and more animals killed, as these subsidies are also used to start new farms.

Moby has previously estimated that beef would cost around $30 a pound if subsidies to the meat industry were removed.

Definitely no longer a value meal at McDonald’s, that’s for sure.

Moby credits his mother for turning him on to veganism and animal rights, as he told Vegetarian Times she tried to “sneak tofu into my food and I would be outraged.”

Moby eventually learned to love the life his mother was trying to impress on him and as we approach Mother’s Day, model and eco friendly beauty products entrepreneur Josie Maran also thanks her mother for bringing her up environmentally friendly.

“My mom is my role model for being green,” Maran said, and revealed that earlier that afternoon she had shown her own daughter how to plant produce in the garden.

Do you have your mother to thank for being vegetarian and green?

Teany

Teany, the tea and vegan cafe created and previously owned by vegan rocker Moby, is rumored to be opening this week.

Village Voice stopped by to find cakes in the display cases and chairs scattered throughout the New York City restaurant.

Teany was damaged by an electrical fire last year.

Moby once remarked that Teany was so great because both meat eaters and vegans were just as excited about the offerings.

Did you frequent Teany and do you agree?

Moby and co-editor of the book Gristle, Miyun Park, sat down with Grit TV to discuss all things food, factory farming and environment.

Moby’s “beef” is with the subsidization of animal products.

He says these subsidies make meat and dairy cheap, which is why so many of the poor are forced to consume these unhealthy items.

“You go to the inner city and people only have access to cheap, animal products. They don’t have access to fresh produce.”

“That’s why McDonald’s is cheap, why Burger King is cheap,” he continues.

He’d like to see the subsidies cut from these industries.

When you remove the “fat” padding (government subsidies) and price these products based on what it actually costs to produce them, what do you get?

A pound of beef, for example, “Would be roughly around $30 a pound.”

You already know that Moby is sensitive about his pancakes.

Thankfully, he does have other talents to help his self-esteem, and a therapist one day reminded him of what a great smoothie maker he was.

Still, it doesn’t help when you insult his pancakes.

“A few years ago, I was in therapy and my therapist kept asking me to name some things I did well. I mentioned making smoothies. It was sad that I couldn’t think of something more significant. It’s açaí juice, almond milk, frozen bananas, blackberries, spirulina powder and cacao powder. I put it in my crummy blender and make one smoothie. I take my ugly, dark, purple smoothie and I sit at my laptop.”

Smoothies are a class in their own, which is why you aren’t likely to find too many cookbooks with an entire chapter devoted to them.

Who needs them anyway, when you’ve got Smoothies: 50 Recipes for High Energy Refreshment, which utilizes soy, yogurt and milk to instruct you how to whip up the perfect fruit concoction.
