Vegetarian Star

George W. Bush’s father, the first presidential Bush, hated broccoli. Barack Obama dislikes the tastes of beets. It appears the right and the left aren’t too different when it comes to having vegetable pet peeves.

Obama hates beets and makes it a policy to “always avoid eating them.”

Earlier on the campaign trail he shared a similar view with Erykah Badu, mentioning that Whole Foods was an expensive place to buy produce, arugula in particular.

Although good for you, there’s no doubt some vegetables taste so bad you don’t want to touch them with a 10 foot carrot pole. Which vegetables would you make it a policy to abolish from the White House if you were office?

“President Bush” tried calling the Butterball turkey hotline but was disappointed when he couldn’t speak to any turkeys. So he called another hotline that told him all sorts of interesting facts about the treatment of turkeys on farms. This made him decide to pardon all turkeys this year, since it is his last year as “the decider.” To learn everything he’s learn, he suggests you get on Al Gore’s internet.

President-elect Barack Obama and the fam are packing their things and loading it into the U-Haul for the big move to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

OK, maybe they’re not taking the U-Haul, but rather a more fancy presidentialy mover. When they arrive, the Mrs. may be happy she no longer has to do the cooking as White House Chefs take over.

Scheib, the former chef for Bushes and Clintons, published a book White House Chef: Eleven Years, Two Presidents, One Kitchen, last year and it’s filled with recipes he made for the first families, including one of Chelsea Clinton’s favorites, Thai-Spiced Sweet Potato Soup With Gingered Bok Choy.

Chelsea learned to cook vegan while in the White House, receiving a special certificate for her efforts. In addition to the sweet potato soup, the vegetarian Clinton likes grilled onions in the summertime.

I did not have relations with that veggie burger…I did indeed have relations with that veggie burger.

In the midst of ugly, negative campaigning Republican candidate for Montana governor Roy Brown got smeared by the Democrats. He said they accused him of being a…vegetarian.

Sure, politicians are no angels, from past drug use to current prostitute use but a vegetarian? Shameful.

“I am not and have never been a vegetarian,” Brown said.

“I am disgusted by the baseless allegation that I am a vegetarian and that my personal eating habits should somehow be construed as opposed to the economic interests of Montana’s livestock industry.”

However, he did admit to, ahem, relations with a vegetarian lifestyle. He said he temporarily cut back on meat and dairy in order to please a dying loved one who couldn’t eat those products.

“It was the least we could do to make the life of a loved one more comfortable at a very difficult time,” he said.

Here’s how the rumors got started. Brown’s neighbor, Pat Etchart (the dirty little instigator) sent an email to Dennis McDonald, Chairman of the Democratic Party in Montana that contained saucy details of how Brown invited her and her husband over to his house to get acquainted. One thing led to another, and Brown allegedly said that he and his wife were vegetarians. (They probably wanted them to recipe “swing” and try something new. Sooo dirty.)

Like OMG! The Montana cattle ranchers would so totally not like that and probably not vote for him. That’s probably what Etchart thought when she was sending the email.

Makes you wonder how far some people will go to drag a candidate through the mud. Did spies follow him to the grocery store?  Should he have submitted his lunch burger to DNA tests to confirm it was real cow?

Doesn’t really matter now. Sometimes dirty campaigning pays off. Brown lost.

Such an innocent, sweet face and demeanor. How could an angel possibly rebel?

There are a lot of ways to rise against the ‘rents, some worse than others. Chelsea Clinton decided to show mom Hillary who was the pre-teen boss by coming home one day and refusing to eat meat.

“…I got home when I was 11 and just declared I was no longer eating meat,” she said earlier in the year when she was on the road with her mother.

Her response was directed to a fellow vegan audience member she met at a campaign stop, according to the New York Post.

Hillary took the “if you’re going to do it, do it nutritiously,” approach to her daughter’s declaration of food independence and demanded Chelsea learn to cook for herself and complete lessons from the white house chefs.

We heard Chelsea’s favorite summertime veg treat is grilled onions. Bet Hillary and Bill didn’t mind this either, as it probably helped to keep the boys, Republican or Democrat, at bay.

More food voyeurism. What do the vegetarian stars like to eat? We found what’s probably on the grocery lists of Chrissie Hynde, Constance Marie, Dennis Kucinich, Daryl Hannah, and Emily Deschanel every week.

In addition to vegetarian pot roast, our favorite Bones actress likes Gardein, a wheat protein product that she says you can only find at Whole Foods. “It’s very tasty,” she said.

Constance Marie is really into veggie hot dogs, Daryl Hannah tries to stay away from fake meats because of soy isolate, but Dennis Kucinich loves his Tofurky`kielbasa’ and the vegan Gardenburger.

Singer Chrissie Hynde is probably the least picky to please: “I will eat whatever I am offered, providing no animals have suffered.”

Most college students leave home with knowledge of how to boil ramen noodles, bake frozen pizzas, and maybe stack high their favorite sandwich. But most college students aren’t daughters of the President.

Before Chelsea Clinton went off to Standford, Hillary asked the White House Cooking Staff to teach her daughter how to prepare delicious vegan meals. Chelsea has been keeping pork off her fork since childhood. But this was more than just a weekend of “helpful hints.” Chelsea spent an entire 6 weeks learning the craft and upon completion, she received a Walter Scheib cooking school certificate.

Masslive.com has lots of juicy details given by Walter Scheib, who served as executive chef for the White House during both Clinton and Bush presidencies, including how Hillary Clinton was really into fennel and Laura Bush was “adamant about organic.”
