Mario Batali made fun of Gwyneth Paltrow for refusing to eat baby lambs and accused her of killing “baby soy” when she drank soya milk during the filming of the show Spain…On the Road Again.

But Batali has admitted to PEOPLE that following a mostly vegetarian diet has allowed him to lose some serious spare tire.

“I try to have vegetables or salad and stay vegetarian through my evening meal,” Batali said. “It’s really working for me. I try to eat half portions of whatever they serve me at a restaurant and things as small as my fist or smaller when I eat in the daytime. At dinner I try to have a regular meal, some kind of protein, salad and vegetables.”

Batali went from 280 to 235 and is hoping to make it to the 200 club.

But why on earth is he skipping breakfast?

“I try not to eat breakfast. I try to have an espresso around 10 or 11 a.m.”

Shouldn’t Mario be at least grabbing a bowl of oatmeal or chowing down on a vegetarian breakfast burrito from Amy’s?

The occasional fake sausage from Lightlife or Morningstar Farms wouldn’t hurt.

People included an example what he might eat at dinnertime and it’s so very veggie!

Anthony Bourdain On Gwyneth Paltrow: A Ham Refusing Bitch

Gwyneth Paltrow is no vegetarian saint.

But while filming Spain…On the road again with Mario Batali, she did refrain from eating many meats, including ham.

And Anthony Bourdain thinks she’s such a bitch for doing so.

From Ecorazzi.com:

“While on a panel with fellow foodie Mario Batali at Seattle’s Paramount theater last weekend, Bourdain poked fun at Batali’s PBS series Spain… On the Road Again; which featured the chef and Paltrow on a culinary tour of Spain. “Why would you go to Spain with the one bitch who refuses to eat ham?””

Now we know how he really feels about Paltrow.

Jerk? Funny? A little bit of both?

Personally, we’d like to see Gwyneth be an even bigger bitch and refuse every animal.

Mario Batali Loves Eating Vegetarians For Lunch And Dinner

Joyful Heart Foundation Gala Celebrity Arrivals In NYC

Mario Batali and fellow vegetarian hater Anthony Bourdain recently did a Q & A session with fans and one person asked Batali what he thought of vegetarians.

“Some of my favorite things to eat are vegetarians!”

Ha, ha haaaaaa, Mario.

Gwyneth Paltrow scolded him for eating baby animals during their culinary adventures in Spain…On The Road Again, saying it was bad karma to do so. Of course, given her phony vegetarian history (turkey burgers, anyone?) she didn’t have much room to talk, but good for her for selectively taking up for some animals.

Yeah, we’re sure there’s even worse bad karma for those who eat baby AND grass fed animals.

Gwyneth Paltrow Has True Vegetarian Moment. Seriously.

Gwyneth Paltrow attends launch party for Spain..On The Road Again

Despite her recent transgressions against vegetarianism, actress Gwyneth Paltrow, who claims she is “pretty much vegetarian,” actually stood up in defense of both animals and soy milk. Yes, the crucified soy milk.

During a clip of “Spain…On The Road Again,” she’s sitting with Mario Batali and exclaims that Spanish soy milk is delicious.

Mario teases her about his, asking if he can get her some, “steamy, hot stinky soy milk,” and jokes that Spanish soy milk is good because they [the Spaniards] make “great soy sauce.”

Gwyneth tells Mario to shove it. Ouch!

She then chides him for eating lamb earlier, saying it’s such bad karma to eat baby animals (grown  male turkeys still fair game).

Mario’s argument that lots of “tiny soys,” gave up their life for her milk just isn’t as convincing a rebuttal.
