Quantcast Vegetarian StarSarah Gilbert

Neil Patrick Harris was a guest on the “The Talk” to discuss his experiences with parenting. The actor and his partner, through the help of a surrogate, are the parents of twins.

With vegan Sara Gilbert and the other ladies of The Talk, Harris explains how he rejected Gilbert’s unconventional advice to raise vegan kids and not vaccinate them.

“You’re a crazy, granola person,” Harris says to Gilbert. “Not to vaccinate for ages and feed them certain weird foods,” he continues when asked what Gilbert recommended, ending with, “You’re a crazy vegan.”

Speaking of vaccinations, the issue over whether a parent should refuse to vaccinate a school attending child is not solely one related to the potential health consequences of the vaccine. Vegetarians and vegans may find vaccines against their principles as some of the formulas have contained animal and even human components to them.

The MMR (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) vaccine contains live strains of the virus that is grown in chick embryo cells and then added to a mixture that contains other animal and human cells (gelatin, human albumin, fetal bovine serum).

Yet, another ethical quandary is the use of human fetal tissue in other vaccines.

Like her spunky character Darlene in Roseanne, actress Sara Gilbert doesn’t shy away from giving her opinion, and she might share her views about America’s diet on a new mom-focused CBS daytime show, The Talk, which premiers October 18th.

“I’m vegan so I’m about as green as you get,” says Gilbert. “I think the diet in this country is kind of broken so I like talking about that.”

Gilbert was a vegetarian for 20 years before going vegan.

Gilbert is also the producer of The Talk, which will feature Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Holly Robinson Peete, Leah Remini and Marissa Jaret Winokur on the celebrity panel with her.  A preview of The Talk can be seen below.

Sara Gilbert’s Digging Tofu With Tobey Maguire Too

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, November 12th, 2008 in Actors, Actresses, Food & Drink.

Sara Gilbert and partner lunch with Tobey Maguire

Remember Sara Gilbert, who played the cynical teen Darlene in Roseanne? She’s all grown up now, with a partner, Allison Adler, and two kids. She also, like Ethan Suplee, has discovered the joy of tofu through Tobey Maguire.

This man really gets around.

And never forgetting to bring along his reusable eco bag while doing so. Maybe it serves as a doggy bag for leftovers?

Gilbert, Adler, and Maguire were all spotted doing lunch at, you guessed it, Hollywood’s headquarters for vegan food, Real Food Daily.

With so many celebs being brought in by Tobey makes you wonder if he has some sort of deal going on with the restaurant. All you can eat tempeh buffet for every 20 celebs?
