Vegetarian Star

Ted Danson has said that although he considers himself an environmentalist, you shouldn’t look to him as a role model for vegetarianism.

“Oh yeah, no, I’m an actor,” Danson told GQ magazine. “Which means one week I’m vegan, the next I don’t know.”

It appears he’s back to a vegan diet again, but the meat items provided by catering on the set of CSI may have him saying, “I don’t know” shortly.

Ted Danson has published a book, Oceana: Our Endangered Oceans and What We Can Do to Save Them.

The actor best known as the bartender in Cheers uses Oceana as a platform to draw attention to the problem of actions that threaten the health of the world’s waters, among them overfishing, climate change and pollution.

Along with colored photos, graphs and other images that illustrate the problem, the 320 page hardcover book from Rodale Press also gives advice for stopping the changes that will ultimately destroy the stability of our waters.

Danson appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” to discuss his new book and the issue of bycatch, which is marine life like sea turtles are unitentionally caught while trying to catch other organisms.

Think chickpeas only appear in hummus?

Think again!

Last week we brought you Dave Moss’ recipe for vegan vegetable soup, a recipe he created based on what Ted Danson might eat. Moss has also created a dish worthy of a million Facebook “Likes” as this one was meant to represent the culinary tastes of Social Network’s Jesse Einsenberg.

Ted Danson has praised Belize for its recent ban on trawling, the practice of pulling a fishing net behind vessels, in the Carribean waters of the country. Trawling, which is categorized by bottom or midwater trawling, depending on where the net is placed, destroys coral reefs and Botton trawling is considered to be the most destructive.

“One of the world’s smallest nations has made a monumental decision for the oceans,” Danson wrote at the Huffington Post. “As of today, Belize is one of the first countries in the world to institute a complete and permanent ban on trawling in all of its waters.”

Belize is home to the Belize Barrier Reef, part of the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef System, the second largest coral reef system in the world after Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. These reef systems not only provide breath taking beauty for tourists looking to snorkel–they are a vital ecosystem of the earth.

Did you hear the rumor that Ted Danson was a vegan?

It’s absolutely NOT true.

“Oh yeah, no, I’m an actor,” Danson told GQ magazine. “Which means one week I’m vegan, the next I don’t know.”

He emphasized his reluctance to be vegetarian even more during the interview when he jokingly said he would order the California condor or gorilla, deciding on scallops in the end.

No, not even sharing the Bored To Death set with vegan Jason Schwartzman has pulled Danson to the veg side yet.

Danson does consider himself an environmentalist and narrates End of the Line, a film about the depletion of fish.

Jason Schwartzman considers himself an environmentalist, but insists he’s still in awe of Ted Danson‘s eco magic.

“I have solar panels on my house for my pool and I’m a very adamant recycler. I have a Prius. I’ve been a vegetarian for a long time. But I’m not Ted,” Jason told mnn.com about his Bored To Death co-star.

Jason took lessons from Ted about ocean conservation.

“Every little bit helps,” he added.

Jason should give himself more credit just for following the veg life.

According to a UN report, it takes 8,449 gallons of water to produce one pound of beef versus 60 gallons of water required to produce a pound of potatoes, or 108 or 168 gallons of water needed to produce a pound of wheat or corn.

Jason’s helping to save the planet every time he opens his mouth to take a bite!

Actor Ted Danson narrates End of the Line, which opened in theaters yesterday.

Ted explains why some of us pescetarians and others who eat fish, should definitely take a look at the movie and examine our dietary choices afterwards.

Overfishing has become such a problem, some scientists estimate that if we continue at the rate we’re going, the oceans will be depleted of fish by 2048.

Be sure to check out this trailer for End of the Line after hearing Ted’s speech.
