Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman remembers one of her very first Thanksgivings. Or, as she calls it, “Thankskilling.”

In a story the comedian briefly touches on in her book, The Bedwetter, Silverman’s early turkey moments are recalled in this “Funny or Die” video which illustrates her dad taking her to a turkey farm, Sarah being asked to pick the one she likes the best, only to discover she chose the cutest bird with the greatest personality traits to be sentenced to its head chopped off.

Some children learn sooner than others.

Silverman says killing the turkey is a symbol of America’s “self-righteous heritage” that consists of it killing native Americans, stealing their land and similar acts of gratitude towards others.

“Happy Thanksgiving dummies!” she wishes at the end.

Sarah Silverman may be vegetarian, but she’s nowhere near going to the vegan side!

During an interview with OK! magazine, Silverman was asked what her last meal on earth would be.

Better save this comedian her own personal cow to provide all the dairy she’s asking for.

“Macaroni and cheese, dark chocolate Dove bar with vanilla ice cream, butter cake with butter frosting, a stick of butter.”

According to an article at MSN, more and more experts are questioning the idea that animal based dairy is needed to stay healthy.

Milk is intended for baby cows you know, and most people aren’t designed to digest that stuff anyway, hence the cramps you get after pigging out on mozzarella cheese sticks.

Not to mention the studies showing populations of people who don’t consume animal sources of dairy have bones that are just as sturdy as the rest of them.

And some studies have linked the beverage to an increase risk of cancer, especially prostate in men.

Hope Silverman goes easy on that dairy during her normal day to day life.

We want her enjoying many, many meals before the last supper arrives.

Sarah Silverman told Ok! magazine her last meal at a vegetarian restaurant was the “Big Macro” sandwich with a side of kale at M Cafe in Melrose, Los Angeles.

She called this indulgence “giving into LA.”

“Yes, I have given in to Los Angeles. You have a problem with that?”

The Big Macro, as expected, features the goodness of grains in the, “organic whole-grain brown rice & vegetable burger with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, sprouts, soy cheese, and special sauce on a fresh-baked whole wheat bun.”

If you bow down to King Kale, you can get the salad with spicy peanut dressing.

We’ve got no problem with that and would give in in a heartbeat!

Don’t forget to search online for a list of vegetarian restaurants where you can get the Big Macro instead of the Big Mac.

Sarah Silverman, in her latest book, The Bedwetter, describing the time she was held down by classmates in the school cafeteria seven years after becoming vegetarian and forced to eat cold cut meat.

Besides being about pee, Sarah Silverman‘s new book, The Bedwetter, is a memoir filled with childhood and adolescence memories, both painful and hilarious.

One of the more undesirable memories Silverman has is when several high school athletes held her down in the school cafeteria and put cold cuts in her mouth because she was a vegetarian.

“Yeah, it was awful. It really felt rape-y,” Silverman told Vanity Fair.

Disgusting.

Were they expecting to make foie gras out of her?

Sure hope those bad boys got more than a few days of detention.

Sarah Silverman–Marriage Like Meat, Gross And Crazy

Hilarious comedian Sarah Silverman has a new man in her life, Alec Sulkin, who she became involved with after stalking, or, uh,  following him on Twitter.

“I wrote him a note that said, ‘You’re funny,’ ” she said, according to People. “When we finally met, he came over to my place, walked in the door, put out his hand and said, ‘Hi, I’m Alec.’ We’ve spent every day together since.”

Although she has nothing but kind words to say about the relationship, Silverman warns never to mention the “M” word to her.

“It’s just not for me,” she says about marriage. “I’m a vegetarian, but I don’t have a problem if you want a hamburger. Marriage, to me, is like eating meat. I think it’s gross and f***ing crazy. It’s this superbarbaric, old-timey tradition that no one remembers we don’t have to do anymore.”

Does marriage also come with increasing your risk of gaining weight in the abdomen, high blood pressure, clogged arteries and havoc on the environment?

Sounds like Silverman is pretty open to other lifestyles, as long as no one’s imposing one on her.

The next time you invite Silverman to a party, you can bring your married couples. But don’t forget your civil unions, LTRs and soley egg/sperm donor partnerships.

Sarah Silverman Marie Claire November ’09- Vegetarian Motivations

Written by Vegetarian Star on Wednesday, October 14th, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Food & Drink.

Comedy Central Emmy After Party

After speculation and gathering evidence, the answer to Sarah Silverman‘s vegetarian status is finally revealed!

The funny gal thinks eating meat is anything but humorous.

Silverman has revealed in the November 2009 issue of Marie Claire what made her turn vegetarian:

“When I was 9 or 10 years old, my dad took me over to a neighboring farm to help get stuff for the meal. The farmer, Vic, told me to look at all the turkeys and pick one out. I saw a cute one with a silly walk and cried, ‘Him!’ Before my pointing finger had even dropped to my side, Vic had grabbed the turkey by the neck and slit [the animal’s] throat. Blood and feathers went flying. I had sentenced that turkey to death! Up until then, I didn’t know where meat came from—and I’ve been a vegetarian ever since.”

There’s an old saying that behind every good man is a good woman. Sarah’s boyfriend Jimmy Kimmel has given the props to animal welfare and vegetarianism on his show before.

Will we soon see a meatless Jimmy?

Sarah Silverman Makes Vegetarian Proclamation?

Written by Vegetarian Star on Saturday, June 20th, 2009 in Actresses, Comedians, Videos.

When we heard Sarah Silverman ordered spaghetti without the meatballs, we didn’t think much else of it.

The comedian isn’t listed on any other vegetarian websites and she’s never been an activist, so we figured she just liked her spaghetti sans cow.

Then, we got a tip from reader Anon, saying Sarah was indeed a vegetarian and had even made a video discussing how to cook vegetarian meatballs.

Here’s a clip Anon found with Sarah on The Larry Sanders Show. The caption reads, “All the guests except Sarah were served a six course wild game tasting menu, including Elk, Quayle, and Pheasant.”

One of the guests says they didn’t know Sarah was a vegetarian, to which Sarah replies, “I’m just not a carnivore.”

There’s always the chance Sarah is one of those fish eating vegetarians or has some other technicality that doesn’t make her one. And she didn’t specifically say, “I’m a vegetarian.”

The scene starts around minute 6:49.

What do you think? Is Sarah officially in the club?
