Vegetarian Star

Sarah Silverman can make a joke out of just about anything. But the state of school lunches today is no laughing matter and the comedian showed her serious side when she wrote to Congress, requesting it pass the Healthy School Meals Act. Silverman joins several celebrities who have voiced their support for the bill that would make vegetarian options more readily available in schools nationwide.

“All kids—vegetarian or not—should have healthy options. I think we forget the simple fact that what we put in our bodies directly effects our bodies. Many kids aren’t able to bring lunches from home—they have to eat what’s in the lunch line. Without healthful options in the cafeteria, we’re doing our children and the future of our country a great disservice.”

Sarah Silverman "The Bedwetter"

PETA is kicking off the annual World’s Sexiest Vegetarian contest and funny former bedwetter Sarah Silverman has some stiff competition, competing against the likes of women like Alicia Silverstone, Lea Michele and Erykah Badu.

Who doesn’t love a woman who can throw humor into a poignant story that involved slaughtering animals, which ultimately caused her to give them up?

From her book, The Bedwetter, Silverman writes on the experience of watching a turkey being killed on a neighbor’s farm:

“Without realizing it, I had sentenced that turkey to death, and while maybe this sort of thing gave fat British monarchs a rush, to me it was horrifying.”

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.

“Suddenly the phrase ‘hide the salami‘ had a whole new meaning.”

–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.

Reviewers are promising the rest of the book is filled with just as many poignant and vulgur-esque written memories.

Sarah Silverman "The Bedwetter"

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.

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.
