Vegetarian Star

Nicole Lapin

Nicole Lapin is a Global Smile Ambassador for Operation Smile, the same charity that offers surgery for oral deformities to children in need that recently awarded model Christie Brinkley for her service. This Harvard educated news anchor puts a smile on her face when she frequents her favorite New York city hot spots that cater to her vegetarian lifestyle. She explained she’s likely to find something pleasurable, even in the odd hours.

“There is always passion, energy, and life in the city, even at 2 a.m. when I head to work,” Lapin said.

At Haute Living, Lapin shared the restaurants, markets and eco-friendly businesses filled with passion, energy and life.

Vegan ice cream restaurants, vegan restaurants, vegetarian sushi eateries and a certain farmers market make her list, as well as environmentally friendly ways to travel, like the ZipCar.

Here are a few of her favorites:

Besides Boo Boo Stewart‘s raving about his mom’s Japanese style tofu, the Vegetarian Times was able to catch a few other celebrities at the Genesis Awards to find out what their favorite dish was.

Moby loves the vegan tacos at Real Food Daily as well as the vegan sushi at Souen in New York.

Nicole Lapin sounded as if she’s a fan of old fashioned comfort food, as she had plenty to say about the meals that were prepared during a “Fabulous faux” dinner party she hosted, featuring “you wouldn’t believe it’s vegan” versions of American dishes.

Nicole Lapin

Journalist Nicole Lapin, anchor for CNN.com Live, has been a proud vegan for six years and a vegetarian for 13 years.

When asked by green gossip site ecorazzi.com what the most rewarding part of going VEG was, Nicole answered, “vegan cookies.”

Oh, yeah.

There’s no sweeter product on the market than one that spares the lives of dairy cows that will eventually be sent to slaughter or that “gets rid of” baby male chicks that will never lay eggs.

A few favorite vegan cookies on our rewards list including Uncle Eddies, Nana’s (which serves up sweetness for the gluten-free folks), and Alternative Baking Company.

Check them out and request them at your local natural foods store.

Veganism is supposed to include diet and lifestyle, so presumably, a vegan who wore leather really isn’t “vegan” according to some strict standards.

Journalist Nicole Lapin, who calls herself a vegan, recently said she does eat honey.

Is Nicole really not a vegan for eating honey?

According to a definition of veganism from vegetus.org:

“Veganism is a way of living which excludes all forms of exploitation of, and cruelty to, the animal kingdom, and includes a reverence for life. It applies to the practice of living on the products of the plant kingdom to the exclusion of flesh, fish, fowl, eggs, honey, animal milk and its derivatives, and encourages the use of alternatives for all commodities derived wholly or in part from animals (Stepaniak).”

Although honey is not a product extracted from the bee itself, bees do produce it for their own food.

And beemakers force bees to make excess amounts of honey, so they’ll have food left after the honey is harvested.

Is this exploitation?

When bees aren’t producing enough, beekeepers give them supplements, usually mixed with sugar and water.

Blah! That’s like replacing the gourmet almond spread with generic brand peanut butter!

But most vegans who don’t consume any other animal derived or made product except honey don’t want to call themselves just vegetarian.

And those occasional fish eaters will stand by their vegetarianism.

Is it time to create sub definitions for vegan and vegetarian?

CNN journalist and vegan hottie Nicole Lapin recently updated her Facebook about stuffing her face with a veggie burger from Houston’s Restaurants.

“Why does Houston’s have the best veggie burger on the planet?? It’s deliciously oxymoronic…”

What goes into a Houston’s veggie burger?

The menu says the House Made Veggie Burger contains, “sweet soy, Jack cheese, mayonnaise and mustard on a house-made bun.”

No note on whether vegans can leave off the cheese and be safe.
