Vegetarian Star

Any entrepreneur or developer knows getting a successful product out is more than just putting in eight hours a day.

There are often late nights, weekends, and pounds of bacon to shove down your throat regularly.

Neil Gillis, former managing director of Linda McCartney foods, has told the UK Guardian just how dedicated Paul McCartney was to improving the vegetarian food range of his late wife.

“He took over after Linda died and it was very helpful, he was very interested in the products, like when we developed vegetarian bacon – he ate it for breakfast everyday so was keen to get it right.”

Now veggie bacon is delish and all, but everyday for breakfast? That’s dedication!

Rupert Everett was recently on the Rachael Ray show where he announced he’s no longer vegetarian.

And he’s got such as WEAK excuse.

Last time Rupert was on Rachael Ray, Rachael made him a vegetable curry because she knew he was a vegetarian.

When Rachael mentioned she heard he was no longer vegetarian, Rupert rambled about loving cows, but enjoying meat, and feeling weak while being vegetarian.

Now, isn’t that just pathetic.

Rachael Ray threw in her ridiculous piece of information that her grandfather said eating meat was good for the blood.

Please stick to cooking, Rachael.

Sure, meat contains iron, which red blood cells need to function, but that mineral can be found in numerous plant sources like spinach, soybeans, seeds, tofu, beans, quinoa, and the list goes on.

Rupert’s British brother, Paul McCartney, might have a few suggestions for countering that “weak” feeling, especially since he’s got over another whole decade of years on him and is still going strong.

Paul McCartney is in Halifax, Nova Scotia for a concert tonight and the thecoast.ca has listed some suggested places the vegetarian can grab a bite to eat before his show.

We already know Paul won’t be patronizing the donair establishments, but he might find these restaurants can buy his love.

Heartwood
These guys have several dishes named after Paul, like the “Macca-roni.” Plus, there’s the Lonely Hearts Club Sandwich with smoked tofu and soy mayonnaise. Somebody who created that menu is a fan.

The Wooden Monkey
Made with fresh organic and macrobiotic ingredients, The Wooden Monkey is a good place for mixed eaters-offering dozens of vegetarian options like the veggie burger, Japanese dumplings with tofu, and chickpea salad in addition to the meat selections.

Read the entire list of places Paul can eat at, including where he can get a vegan breakfast tomorrow morning.

Yoko Ono and Heather Mills may be worlds apart in character, age, and professions, but they have one thing in common: Both were married to former members of the Beatles!

Yoko and the late John Lennon posed for a very sexy, “Give Peace A Chance,” photo that was later adapted to promote vegetarianism, starring Corey Feldman and wife Susie Feldman, the tagline changed to Give Peas a Chance.

Heather had a brief, extremely public, and tumultuous relationship with Paul McCartney that didn’t last, but we’re crossing our fingers her new vegan restaurant V Bites does.

So between the two “wives of a Beatle,” who would you rather…

Paul McCartney had just finished up a chat with radio host Bobby Mac of Q104 in Halifax, Nova Scotia when Bobby recommended Paul check out some of the local food, including the donairs.

Donairs? Huh?

Donairs are delicacies prevalent on the Canadian East Coast. Donairs are to Halifax what Philly Cheesesteak is to Philadelphia.

There’s just one problem. Donairs are full of spicy beef.

“It’s got a lot of meat? Well, I’m not going to eat it then,” Paul said. “Save me a doNUT.”

Of course every optimistic vegetarian and vegan always tries their hand at plantifying any carnivorous dish and donairs shouldn’t be the exception.

Here’s a recipe for vegan donairs using Texturized Vegetable Protein.

Cause donuts really aren’t good substitutes for meals, you know?

PETA likes to host dozens of contests involving sexy people who don’t eat meat, and it’s time for the senior citizens to flaunt their thing, with the “Sexiest Vegetarian Over 50” contest.

The vegs over 50 are in good company, with celebs like Paul McCartney, Prince, James Cromwell, Russell Simmons, Cloris Leachman, and Emmylou Harris.

Sixty two year old Emmylou has been involved with animal organizations like the Best Friends Animal Society, recorded public service announcements on taking good care of your pets, and even runs a dog shelter in her hometown of Nashville, Tennessee.

If you’re a sexy veg and over 50, why not enter the contest?

The finalists will be narrowed down on July 24th, then readers can vote and the winner in both the male and female category will be announced August 24.

Those voted the sexiest receive a gift basket from Vegan Divine.

You’re taking the best steps toward living another century, lowering your health care costs, and looking great.

And it’s cool to tell the kids and grand kids, “When I was your age, worshipping seitan meant a completely different thing.”

Heather Mills put on her overalls and picked up a bucket of paint this weekend to scrub and decorate the walls of her new vegan restaurant, V Bites, that will open July 4 in the UK.

She was accompanied by daughter with former husband Paul McCartney, Beatrice, as well as some friends.

Heather is taking quite an active role in V Bites. Besides scrubbing and painting the exteriors, she’ll also be a regular chef on Sundays, cooking her favorite veg dishes of roast potatoes, parsnips, and veggie gravy.

Heather said what will shock people the most is that the faux meats taste just like the real thing.

We shall see!

With Paul McCartney’s Meat Free Monday campaign getting so much press, some flexitarians and meat eaters may wonder if they will relentlessly be harassed into total vegetarianism.

Granted, many vegetarians would like this to take place, but Paul’s daughter, Stella McCartney, is reassuring people that the family’s less meat approach is about trying to reduce some of the impact consuming meat has on the planet.

“It’s ok to just give up meat for one day, it doesn’t make you a vegetarian if you hate vegetarians, it doesn’t make you a cranky, hemp wearing pot smoker,” Stella said, in the UK Telegraph. “It’s alright, it’s allowed – it doesn’t make you a kind of the person you don’t want to be. It just means you are doing something positive.”

Of course Stella and the family still adhere to their strict vegetarian values.  But they’re not trying to point fingers at everyone. They just feel everyone should, ahem, “give it up,” at least once a week.

“If everyone gave it up on a Monday it would be more effective than everyone stopping driving their car on a Monday. We are not perfect. It’s so important to get that across because it’s like oh, those bloody Maccas, talking again about not killing cows! It is boring. But the reality is, I like to think I am trying to do my little bit. I will turn off a light when I leave a room; I will turn off a socket if I don’t want to be using the socket. And those are tiny little things.”
