Vegetarian Star

Aldo Zilli is opening his new vegetarian Italian restaurant, Zilli Green, next weekend in Soho in London.

Zilli says it was none other than Meat-Free Monday man Paul McCartney himself who encouraged him to change the food on his menu and on his own plate.

From News Of The World:

“A few years ago, Paul wrote to me about the amount of meat I had on the menus at my London restaurants,” Zilli said. “He felt we didn’t need to offer exotic meats, such as ostrich. I had to agree.”

“Creating vegetarian Italian dishes was a challenge. But it’s a good move in a society where vegetarianism is now common place.”

Zilli Green is set to open this weekend on Valentine’s Day.

Take your sweetie there to celebrate love, good food and good health.

Banned In Hollywood has compiled its list of 6 celebrities who pose to save the environment.

Pose could mean they’re serious about their recycling and eating less meat or that they’re just looking for a Sigg ad to complete their resume.

But when it comes to vegetarian celebrities like Paul McCartney and singer Pink, you know they’re serious about promoting their beliefs.

Paul McCartney launched his meat-free Monday campaign in hopes of having everyone skip beef, pork and poultry for just one day a week.

And singer Pink puts compassion behind her argument against the environmentally unfriendly fur industry, never hesitating to trash another celebrity for being cruel enough to purchase animal hide.

Will Gwyneth Paltrow‘s website on health, food and travel, Goop.com, finally get the veggie turnover it needs?

Rumor has it that Paul McCartney has written a column for the actress about his Meat-Free Monday campaign.

Just hope it doesn’t appear before Gwyneth’s recipes for turkey burgers.

“My family and I launched Meat Free Monday in the UK, an idea which has been gaining support from people like Tom Parker-Bowles who, after a lifetime of denigrating vegetarians, recently wrote in his Daily Mail column, “I wince at the memory of my boorish antics” and who pronounced himself “intrigued” by MFM: “There’s no doubting the plain common sense of the message…Meat Free Monday is something to really savour”. Another supporter is Al Gore who stated that initiatives like Meat Free Monday “represent a responsible and welcome component of a comprehensive strategy for reducing global warming pollution and simultaneously improving human health.”

“It’s amazingly easy to take one day in your week, Monday or any other day, and not eat meat. When you think about it, there are so many great alternatives, for instance, in Italian cooking, so many of the dishes are vegetarian already and Thai and Chinese cuisine are the same. All it means is that you have to think a bit about what you’ll eat that day but, in actual fact, far from being a chore, it’s a fun challenge.”

The best things in life are free and educational.

That’s why Paul McCartney put a copy of his narrated PETA DVD, Glass Walls in each of the presenters and nominees bags at the Golden Globes, according to Contact Music.

The video provides an inside look of the meat industry.

“I’ve often said, ‘If slaughterhouses had glass walls, everyone would be vegetarian,” McCartney said.

“Animals raised on modern factory farms and killed in slaughterhouses endure almost unimaginable suffering. I hope that once you see the routine cruelty involved in raising, transporting, and killing animals for food, you’ll join the millions of people who have decided to leave meat off their plates – for good.”

Could McCartney convert some Golden Globe attendees?

Rumor has it that Paul McCartney will tie the knot with his girlfriend of almost three years, Nancy Shevell.

According to SF Gate, a source told Britain’s Daily Express, “Paul and Nancy’s relationship is rock solid and there’s no mad hurry for a wedding. Next year has certainly been mentioned as the most likely time, but neither of them want some big hoo-ha (fuss). It’s almost certainly going to be done very discreetly over in the U.S. and Paul would ideally like to do it without any publicity beforehand. Whether he could pull that off is another matter.”

There’s no rush for a wedding?

Maybe Paul’s waiting for Nancy to give up the pork chops completely before putting a ring on it.

Since dating the former Beatle, Nancy has been spotted dining on vegetarian food.

And some sources stated she even changed her political views and started buying more cruelty-free fashion since dating Paul.

When Paul McCartney agreed to perform on Travis‘ Fran Healy‘s solo album, Healy paid McCartney back in a gift worth more than a million dollar record contract.

Healy, his wife and one year old son have all turned vegetarian, the singer wrote on his blog, according to The Guardian.

“Nora [Healy’s wife] and I were sitting and thinking of a thank-you present and I suggested going vegetarian. Our son is already one, so it would mean we would all be on the same boat. I met Paul at his show in Berlin and told him what we wanted to do. He was visibly flabbergasted. Three days later the FedEx man delivered three Linda McCartney [vegetarian] cook books.”

Healy says he doesn’t miss his old diet and enjoyed hummus this past Christmas.

“I haven’t had any longing for meat or fish yet.”

It’s fantastic that Healy made a decision that’s better for the health of his family.

Sure  hope he keeps it up.

Going back to cheeseburgers may be a breach of contract worth years of court time over intellectual property.

Ed Begley Jr. knows being vegetarian is a great complement to his other environmentally friendly behaviors like having solar panels in his home and getting from point A to B on a bicycle.

But is Ed driving an eco-friendly car with animal un-friendly seats?

From priuschat.com:

“Watching a recent episode of Living With Ed, it looks like Ed is now driving (or more likely Rachelle’s car) a level IV winter gray metallic 2010 Prius. I was a little surprised that he chose leather seats, being the vegan that he is.”

Granted, not everyone environmentalist is vegetarian, but with the environmentally unfriendly chemicals going into the tanning process to make leather not biodegradable, you’d think most hybrid worshippers would demand hideless vehicles.

Paul McCartney insisted his luxury Lexus be built with cloth seats versus leather.

Toyota 2010 Priuses come with either leather or  non-leather seating.

Which one is Ed cruising around town in?

Every time a vegetarian celebrity opens its mouth, another deer dies.

At least that’s how Ted Nugent wants it.

The musician who’s made it clear in the past he’s not a friend of vegetarians or animal rights activists recently expressed his discontent over those who find fault with one of his favorite sports of hunting.

And warning: he’s not too rated G about it either.

“Pam Anderson… if you get the d**k out of your mouth for two minutes, you’re telling me I can’t eat venison? You don’t authorize venison?”

“My name is Ted Nugent and because of Pam Anderson… and because of Paul McCartney, all the members of PETA, whenever I hear the word animal or rights in the same paragraph, I’m killing an extra hundred of something this year.”

Nugent insists he doesn’t let any of his game go to waste.

“I’m not just killing them, I’m f**king slaughtering them and I’m going to gut them and skin them, quarter them and butcher them and feed them to the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of America… That’s my goal in life.”

Paul McCartney may be the object of Nugent’s hatred this time, but last year he was willing to buy him a vegetarian meal.

After Paul received threats for agreeing to play in Tel Aviv, Nugent told the press, “It would be my pleasure to keep this legendary musical hero safe from terrorists and madmen, and then buy him a nice dinner of tofu.”

It’s time to buy Pamela some tempeh to make up for that oh not so nice statement.
