Vegetarian Star

A new film that tackles the issue of America’s dependency on foreign oil, Fuel, is screening in theatres across the country.

During the film, director Josh Tickell, rides across the nation in a vegetable oil powered van interviewing politicians, celebrity activists, and academics on a variety of alternative energy issues.

Know who else rides around in a veggie oil powered set of wheels?

Fred Mascherino, ex guitarist for Taking Back Sunday and creator of musical project, The Color Fred.

We bet Fred keeps his pants on while driving though.

Fred Mascherino, ex Taking Back Sunday guitarist and singer who went on to form the band The Color Fred, is so green he’s “phat” off oil!

Vegan Fred has a car that runs on vegetable oil he gets from a Chinese restaurant. Luckily, they don’t fry in lard, otherwise raising the animal who’s fat will eventually run the car kinda cancels out any eco-friendliness.

Using our own fat? Well, that might reduce at least somebody’s footprint-literally.

“Being vegan is about the best thing a person can do to be “green,” Fred said. “Using less, buying less and eating less is the idea but even just eating a little less meat makes a difference.”

The next obvious question is how Fred pays for his oil. It would be COOL to walk into China Express and say, “I’ll take what I ate this week in fuel.”

Some sources even recommend, “Develop a relationship with the manager or owner of local establishments. Tell him or her that you’re interested in collecting their waste vegetable oil. Offer to do it for free.”

We smell and taste an All You Can Eat Oil Club program forming at businesses soon.
